Create a new layer and using the rectangle marquee tool create a shape like below and fill it with a gray colour. Step 2. On the just created layer go to Layer styles and add a Pattern overlay with the settings below: Create another new layer and using the rectangle marquee tool and a light blue colour create a shape like below under the textured layer: Over this layer create another one and with the same rectangle marquee tool create one shape that is half the blue one and another very thin line under it just like in the picture below using a white colour. Then reduce opacity to around 80%. On your layers panel on top you should have this white rectangles layer and underneath the light blue one. Select the top layer and press CTRL+E to merge the layer togheter with the blue one. Step 3. On this fresh merged layer add a drop shadow with the settings below: Step 4. Optional step. Add your text. Add a drop shadow to the text with the settings below: Step 5.
