Create a new document that is 8 inches wide by 11 inches tall. Use the Rectangle Tool (M) and create a rectangle the size of your document. Fill the rectangle with a rich black (I used these CMYK values: C=100, M=100, Y=100, and K=100).
Step 2
With the Mesh Tool (U), click on the rectangle about an inch from the top in the center of the rectangle.
