How to design the header?

Header is the most important thing in a blog, because it is the first thing that people see when they come to your blog.

Therefore, creating a header is very important.

It should be attractive enough to make sure the reader continues reading your blog.

For my header, i used Photoshop CS3.

Here are the steps:

First of all, i chose a picture that i want to use.

Then i used magnetic lasso tool to crop out my head and my body separately.

Then hold Ctrl + T to adjust the size. My head is enlarged whereas my body has become smaller. Then i combine both together and merge both layers.

Next, choose a background that you want, and drag it into the merged layer. To make sure the picture blends well with the background, select the merged layer and click on Filter (on the menu bar) -- blur -- Gaussian blur -- change the radius accordingly.

Finally, add in your blog title and merge all layers into one.

TADAA! now you're done! (:
