First, open Photoshop and create a new document according to the website banner. Design Sizes shouldn't be too vital, since you'll be able to resize the design canvas later. We'll be using a resolution of 1280x720 pixels which an aspect ratio of 16:9. 

Now, let's start making our design. First, drag and drop the model transparent photo on the design canvas and resize it according to the design canvas. Now select the Rectangular Tool and draw a rectangle around the entire background use the Eye dropper tool and pick a color from the model photo. Now select the gradient tool (G). Next, Click and drag your cursor over the space where you want to apply the gradient. Make sure the gradient color is purple. Once the gradient is in place, you can modify the colors at any time. 

Now we limited the gradient flow to the model photo only. To do this, you have to keep the gradient layer on top of the model photo. Now right-click on the gradient layer thumbnail and click on the clipping mask. Now make the gradient layer mode Normal To Color to apply the color on this model face. 

In this step, we will create a shape-like needle. Using the photoshop triangle shape tool and ellipses can easily make this shape. Now colorizing the needle shape using multi gradient color. Now make multiple copies of this shape and warp the needle shape using the Transform>Warp. To explore more about this tutorial, please watch the video below.
