Glossy Web Banner

1. Create a new banner sized document, I used 760 x 180

Use the gradient tool to make a blue gradient for the background, I used the colors #247ec6 and #166bbc

Get the pen tool

And make a curvy shape like so:

Turn it into a selection by right clicking it with the pen tool and clicking "Make Selection"

2. On a new layer use the gradient tool to make a transparent white gradient in the selection
