Web Page header/interface questions

[LoRah]

Hi! I aam trying to create a web page with a header similar in shape to the one pictured below. I plan to use PS6/Image Ready to create the background and nav system , then slice it and add text w/tables and html. I've tried using the pen tool to draw the header, but then I can't fill it. Can anyone suggest a good tute or point me in the right direction?



(The red section at the top--sort of an "s"shape. Don't worry--I'm not copying anyone's design, this is simply the first page I found with the type of shape I'm looking for.)

Hello LoRah,

Heathrowe has several tutorials on using the photoshop pen tools that you may find helpful.

Thanks...

Well, after posting the question, I did some surfing and found some help on PegaWeb.com. Here's what I came up with... does it look too dumb?

doesn't look dumb at all. Industrial maybe, via the colors. but fine.

With so few colors though, it might be better to use it as a gif rather than jpg. Might clean up the jaggies a bit, but otherwise, looks good to go.
