I wish I could do this kind of stuff....

I hate it when people sell stuff like this, but their designs are awesome..... Templatemonster

Anyone knows how can I do the banner background effects?

Or any tutorial on those, I really need learn fast =)

I too wish I knew how to make those sorts of things, but I lack the knowledge. :(

That's probably why they sell it.

Look, all these headers you're showing us are a mixture of lots and lots of effects and filters, I doubt there is a tutorial on that, what would it be named, "how to make cool looking stuff" ? :p

Just use your imagination and come up with "it".

Dont become a trendwhore. That's my advise to you..create your own stuff that appeals to you.

The template you show is very simple except for the top image. The top image is basically a photoshop collage. Take lots of different elements and blend them together with layer masks and blending modes. Thats how everybody does it. You can also do similar things in 3D graphics programs with extreme use of abstract shapes and lighting effects.

If you "need" to do it right now as if your life depends on it, then I suggest starting immediately. Learning photoshop isn't terribly hard, but making something look good with a sense of design can be tough.

If you aren't pressed for time, work slowly in photoshop and learn it without making yourself sick of it. Eventually, you will learn the ins and outs of the program so long as you work enough with it.

Mastery, as with all things, comes in time with lots of practice.

Ya, if you have the time just play with an idea, try to "mimick" the things you like. Be aware, sometimes the "monster" will create it's self.
