Let`s begin the tutorial:

PART I DESIGN PROCESS
Step 1

First step it`s to create a new document: 250250. This is a very used size for banners ( other banner sizes: 125125, 250250, 46860, 300250 etc). Now, using Rectangle Tool make a square. You can fill it with any color you want, I used: #014067.

Step 2
Using Rectangle Tool again, create a 53px square in the left side

To add a radial gradient as we wish ( to position the shiny circle where we want ) we need to duplicate the bar layer and rasterize it ( Right click on the layer -> Rasterize Layer).

After that hold CTRL and click on the thumbnail of the Shape 2 layer (the one with gray background with a white bar).

Now select the Gradient Tool from the left panel , choose a radial gradient in the left top corner.

Now just drag it over the bar.

This is the gradient I chose and how the bar should look:

Step 3
Now we are going to create the left and right borders of the bar. First, select the Line Tool from the left Panel . Make an white line in the right side of the bar( 1px line ). It has to be 1px perfect now with a duplicate with lower oppacity like in the next image. It has to be just 1px white line, nothing near it. Then duplicate it.

move just 1 pixel to the right and select a darker color. Adjust the oppacity if you need to.

Now move these lines in the left side. You have to work with big zoom, to work at the pixel sizes. This is how should it looks like: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Copy the circle 3 times, and position them 1 under the other.
In the right side of each circle add 3 services ( you can add whatever you want, I added some services that I do).

Step 7
In this latest step of the design part just add a CLICK FOR PORTFOLIO text in the right side of the banner like I did. Don`t worry that the text will come over the Company name because the company name will disappear when the CLICK FOR PORTFOLIO text will appear.
