Ribbon

I've searched on google for a tut on making ribbons.. but non of them are useful..

actually i found one, but when i shear it, it becomes all jagged :x

so can anyone provide me a tut on making a ribbon something like the one i've attached.

thanks

Hello !

Sounds like a job for the Pen tool if you ask me. I don't understand it nearly well enough to use it hardly (much less, explain it) so try here:

Draw your path and apply a few gradients (or use some Dodge/Burn if you're hardcore like that). Play around a bit, experiment and you should find something you like.

Hello !

Well I don't feel like explaining every step in detail, so here's a PSD -- you can use it if you need a ribbon, but I recommend you actually look at the paths (under the "Paths" tab in the layers pallette) and see how it's made, and try to recreate it yourself. Turn on your grids (Ctrl+') and go View->Snap To->Grid.
