Well, for one you have to have an editing program to do something like this and Photoshop or Fireworks woks best. Do you have one of them?

I drew a box and made the color solid black. Then I set the properties to Interpolation. After that I just grabbed the text tool and wrote text on top. There is a lot more that you can do, but this is just an example of how I did it using Fireworks.
