c. Draw a rectangle to your required size and fill some colour using the “Pain bucket tool” (see the screenshot below)
Step 3: Create a copy of the rectangle layer, here for example Layer1 where we have created a rectangle box and move it to the bottom of the banner as below.
Step 4: Now type the name of your business using the text tool.
