1. Making an effective-looking navigation bar is easier than portrayed. Start off by creating a New document in Adobe Photoshop. This document has to be long enough to possess your navigation bar. Next, by using the the Rectangular Marquee Tool...draw out your basic navigation bar and fill it in with the color of your choice.
2. Next, double-click on the navigation bar layer to enter the Layer Style window. Head over to the Bevel and Emboss section and enter the following settings:
Depth 91% Size 4px Soften 16px
3. Next, head over to the Stroke section and enter the following:
Opacity 100% Color {a color darker than the color of your navigation bar}
Finally, use the Text Tool to enter the titles for your navigation bar. Position the text appropriately and enjoy =)
