Userbars Tutorial for beginners[Photoshop]

First we made a new document with size 350x19.



Grab the Gradient tool and click on the top of your document and drag the mouse to the end of it.



We have this.



Now is time to build our pattern. Create a new document : 6x6 with transparent background.




We made something like this with pencil tool.(with 1px diameter selected)



Go to Edit=>Deffine patern and save it as a pattern.
Grab the Pattern stamp tool and choose our new pattern.




Open your picture and hit CTRL + A then CTRL + C. I use this the gender symbol. You can use anything picture you want.



Go to our userbar and hit CTRL + V. We copy and paste our picture to the userbar. Now move it with the arrow keys.



Add some Blending options. I use Outer glow.



Add text. Visitor BRK font, size 10, anti-aliasing - none. Add stroke.



Create a new layer. With Elliptical marquee tool made something like this.



Move it to the top with the arrow keys.
