how to design a ribbon/banner?

hi!

i want to learn how to design a ribbon similar to below...no need to help with text only design ribbon. video tutorial would be a great help. thanks.

  • Depending on whether you wish to maintain the thick/thin of the white edges of the ribbon, it can be as simple as 3 shapes: one for the main portion of the ribbon, one each for the two ends of the ribbon that are placed at the back. All with gradients applied.

    If the highlight at the lower right corner of the front of the ribbon is desired, it is simply a shape filled with white and a circular transparency used to blend it in.

    If the appearance of the thick/thin of the white border of the ribbon is desired, then they too are just shapes on top of the ribbon proper.

    There are also various free ribbons on vector art web sites and paid for ribbons available that can all be modified. But I still usually just draw them.
