Step 1

First off create a new document to house the search box (or add it to one of your existing designs). I’ve filled the background of mine with the colour #2e3033

Step 2

Using the Rounded Rectangle Tool make a white rectangle with radius 10px and dimensions 200x40px. This will be where we enter our search terms.

Step 3

Using the text tool add in some dummy text. The font styling I’ve used is Arial, Bold, 15 pt, Sharp, #37393d.

Step 4

Now we’ll make a button for the search action. Using the same tool make a 80x40px rectangle

Step 5

Apply this gradient overlay to the button layer.

Step 6

Add some text for the button. The font styling I’ve used here is Arial, Bold, 15 pt, Sharp, #ffffff with an outer glow of 30% #000000. I’ve also added another darker rectangle behind the search field and button and a radial gradient in the background.
