Open a new document. Form a pattern for the background.
Make a New layer. Draw a rectangle and use the Knife tool to create a cut.
Duplicate the lower cut and drag it down slightly.
Use the Blend tool and Specified Steps. Enter 3.
Make a New layer. Form an ellipse and feather it. Make another layer. Use the Pen tool to create rays of the sun then make the layer 17% transparent.
For the logo, create lettering with a good size stroke weight and no fill. Duplicate and give it a fill and a stroke. Create a house and use Warp Options to elongate the house and give it a cartoon like look. Finally, put in a simple shadow.
Make a top and bottom menu where both menus will be repeated on each page. Select a glyph to insert in between the menu selections for the top menu items.
For the interactive button, create a banner with rectangles. Then add an extra anchor point in between the ends. Use the Direct Selection tool and the Shift button to pull it inward. Next, add text and convert it, and add stars for an attention getter. Add some graphic to the back to draw attention to the button. Next, apply Warp Options.
Duplicate the banner and put it on a separate layer below the current graphic. Apply a stroke in bright green so that when the user hovers over the button, it becomes highlighted.
This is another graphic designed for members to log in to the site.
To draw in the public, a box was created that will show the latest winners.
An area in white is created to put information that can change from day to day. Each item is on a separate layer so that it is easily changeable. Animated graphics can be added at the top, and that is why the area to the right of the logo was kept clear.
