You could draw it in either Photoshop or Illustrator. I usually use Photoshop for just photos. InDesign is more for layouts.

I use Freehand for drawing, so I'll help you with it in Photoshop.

You could use the Rectangle Tool, draw one short rectangle and one long, then create a circle. Or you could cheat and trace the banner with the Pen Tool. With the Pen Tool, trace the banner with the logo and search button (make this layer 1), and trace the navigation bar (make it layer 2.) Use the Eyedropper Tool to select the gray colour. On both layer fill with the gradient of gray to white. I notice that the banner with the logo and search button has a emboss around it. Go to the Layer Styles (the fx symble on the layers window,) choose Blending Options. I fiddled around with the layer styles, and found that Outer Glow works best for it. I choose a very light Grey. I set it to: Opacity = 73%, size= 3 and Range= 55 (I left the rest at 0.

Not sure what version of Photoshop you use, I know that Photoshop Elements doesn't have the Pen Tool or a lot of the layer styles.

Let me know also if I need to explain anything more, I can create a tutorial if needed!

Good Luck

okay,
for the curve you can use the same header they're using for your outlines, then from there you can fill, draw anything
