Document header with tikz

Question

Until now I had been using drawio to do the header's of some of my documents. I would like to shift to tikz, could anyone help me to do so ?

Below what I have done. It's not perfect but it's a start. Help would be appreciated:

for positioning nodes in relation to each other;
to put several texts in different places in the same node;
for the shape of the arrow, I would like one with an inside angle at the back.

\documentclass[tikz]{standalone}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\definecolor{darkblue}{RGB}{9,72,90}
\definecolor{lightblue}{RGB}{124,184,201}
\usetikzlibrary{positioning,shapes.arrows}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
    \node [rectangle,draw=darkblue,fill=darkblue,thick,rounded corners,minimum height=2cm,minimum width=13cm,text=white] (titre) {\large{La photographie numérique}};
    \node [rectangle,draw=darkblue,fill=darkblue,thick,rounded corners,minimum height=3cm, text width=5cm, text=white] (competences) [right=of titre] {Identifier les étapes de la construction de l'image finale};
    \node[single arrow, draw=darkblue,fill=lightblue, single arrow head extend=0cm,text=white] (un) [below=of titre] {Construction de l'image};
    \node[single arrow, draw=darkblue,fill=lightblue, single arrow head extend=0cm,text=white]
(deux) [right=of un] {Métadonnées EXIF};
\node[single arrow, draw=darkblue,fill=lightblue, single arrow head extend=0cm,text=white]
(trois) [right=of deux] {...};
\end{tikzpicture}

It's almost done ! I need some help to align the arrows on the left and the two nodes by the top. Thanks.

Final solution. Thanks to JS Bibra and his use of anchor

This should be simple with the TikZ nodes and its various shapes. There are many such examples in the documentation. — Sigur, Oct 05 '21 at 20:56
You can take a look to the smartdiagram package (sequence diagram) or, directly related to the question, there's an old question (that incidentally is the origin of the sequence diagram): Drawing a chevron process in LaTeX — Claudio Fiandrino, Oct 06 '21 at 08:54
