These interfaces can make a webpage look and feel much more
professional.
1. Firstly create a new canvas of the appropriate size approx
600 x 400.

3. Make a new layer and using the

selected layer by 5 pixels.
6. Press delete to delete the selection in both the layer with the
ellipse and rectangle.
7. Using the
magic wand select the inner edge of the ellipse. Create a new layer and
fill the selected area in black.
8. select the layer you have just filled and press Ctr +
left click to select the black fill image. Create a new layer and contract
the selection by 5 pixels as done in step 5.
9. Fill
the selection in blue.
10. Double click the layer with the horizontal bar and put a gradient
overlay. Repeat this method for the ellipse and the inner ellipse.
Experiment around with the colours to produce the gradient
overlay of your choice
The figure above were the gradient settings that I used.
A good interface can grab the attention of a web surfer
and is a good tool to use to convey important infomation about you site.
