You can use the titlesec
package:
\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{titlesec}
\titleformat{\chapter}[display]
{\normalfont\huge\bfseries}{\thechapter}{20pt}{\Huge}
\begin{document}
\chapter{Test chapter}
\end{document}
Without any packages, you can redefine \@makechapterhead
as defined in report.cls
:
\documentclass{report}
\makeatletter
\def\@makechapterhead#1{%
\vspace*{50\p@}%
{\parindent \z@ \raggedright \normalfont
\ifnum \c@secnumdepth >\m@ne
\huge\bfseries\thechapter
\par\nobreak
\vskip 20\p@
\fi
\interlinepenalty\@M
\Huge \bfseries #1\par\nobreak
\vskip 40\p@
}}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\chapter{Test chapter}
\end{document}
One possibility using TikZ
and titlesec
:
\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{fourier}% change to lmodern if fourier is no available
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage[explicit]{titlesec}
\definecolor{mybluei}{RGB}{0,173,239}
\definecolor{myblueii}{RGB}{63,200,244}
\definecolor{myblueiii}{RGB}{199,234,253}
\renewcommand\thepart{\arabic{part}}
\newcommand\partnumfont{% font specification for the number
\fontsize{380}{130}\color{myblueii}\selectfont%
}
\newcommand\partnamefont{% font specification for the name "PART"
\normalfont\color{white}\scshape\small\bfseries
}
\titleformat{\part}
{\normalfont\huge\filleft}
{}
{20pt}
{\begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture,overlay]
\fill[myblueiii]
(current page.north west) rectangle ([yshift=-13cm]current page.north east);
\node[
fill=mybluei,
text width=2\paperwidth,
rounded corners=6cm,
text depth=18cm,
anchor=center,
inner sep=0pt] at (current page.north east) (parttop)
{\thepart};%
\node[
anchor=south east,
inner sep=0pt,
outer sep=0pt] (partnum) at ([xshift=-20pt]parttop.south)
{\partnumfont\thepart};
\node[
anchor=south,
inner sep=0pt] (partname) at ([yshift=2pt]partnum.south)
{\partnamefont PART};
\node[
anchor=north east,
align=right,
inner xsep=0pt] at ([yshift=-0.5cm]partname.east|-partnum.south)
{\parbox{.7\textwidth}{\raggedleft#1}};
\end{tikzpicture}%
}
\begin{document}
\part{Theory and Application of Continuous-Time Signals and Systems}
\end{document}
The commands \partnumfont
and \partnamefont
are used to control the font attributes for the number and the label "Part". Feel free to make adjustments (fonts, sizes) according to your needs.

One possibility, using
TikZ
and theepigraph
package; the rounded corner rectangle on top was produced using the pgf libraryqrr.shapes.openrectangle
written by Qrrbrbirlbel inhis answer
to Tikz shape similar to rectangle with selective drawing of borders (the link to the library can be found in the answer linked):
