			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You don&#8217;t have to be a design genius to be able to utilise photoshop and use it to create your own headers. Admittedly it takes a lot of getting used to and definitely requires practice, but if you have got the time you can easily begin structuring your own designs which when saved as a jpeg can be inserted into dreamweaver.<span id="more-256"></span></p>
<p>Here are some I quickly mocked up for some popular websites you can easily find on the web:</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-257" title="property-mentor-header-7" src="http://rowena.digitaldesignadvice.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/property-mentor-header-7.jpg" alt="property-mentor-header-7" width="445" height="120" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-258" title="Proactol-header-5" src="http://rowena.digitaldesignadvice.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Proactol-header-5.jpg" alt="Proactol-header-5" width="443" height="106" /></p>
<p>This second one in particular, I originally copied the logo and header shape. However after introducing it to Photoshop I was able to make the curves consistent on the top and botton of the header and introduce new text.</p>
<p>The first header on the other hand was created from scratch. Using the pen tool and my mouse I was able to establish the curves exactly how I wanted them, as well as use them to shape the head of the keys. One of the clever things about photoshop is that when you use the pen tool, you can easily correct/modify the shape using the Direction Selection Tool and change the shape of the curves.</p>
<p>Now getting these curves to look smooth will take practice and a lot of zooming in to help smooth out the lines, but it is definitely worth the effort once you finally achieve the end result.</p>
<p>So give it a try and see how you get on.</p>
