How do I create a cool navigation menu using Adobe Photoshop?

Expand Post »
Hello everyone! I'm having a problem about creating different kinds of styles and arrangements of navigation menu in creating a real website. Using Adobe Photoshop, creating a website will become much more stylish... so I would like to receive suggestions of different arrangements of navigation menus from different web professionals and non-professionals (but creative) out here in DaniWeb.

I bet there are many ways how to create a navigation menu but nothing comes out in my dumb mind... , so please help me, I beg you...

Using PhotoShop may help you create a more stylish design (whatever that is), but it will not help you create a better web site.

To do that, you need to translate the PS image into HTML and CSS.

Sometimes, using PS results in a horrible web site because it makes the coder try to do things that are not possible on a web page.

Browse the web; you will find many examples.

Re: How do I create a cool navigation menu using Adobe Photoshop?

yeah... But still, there is no doubt that every web developer uses the Adobe Photoshop's capabilities even the pages here in daniweb is filled with Adobe Photoshop's yields.

I can exactly search through the internet because I've been doing that for a long time but every people here in daniweb has unique answers so that's why I've been trying to find answers here instead of searching through the internet. Nevertheless, thanks for the reply, I really appreciate it, 'hope I could get direct answers soon from the professionals and non-professionals, 'really thank you...

"Cool" is subjective. What is "cool" to one person is "yuuukkk" to another.

You should try some tutorials for photoshop to get some ideas and then start building your own.

As for ideas.... i have loads.... but they're mine! What ever you do keep it simple otherwise it will look rubbish, there is a style at the moment of creating things that look like paper etc. You could have a go at that.

Many web developers do not use PhotoShop. Many do not even use computers on which PhotoShop will run.

I could use gimp instead of PhotoShop, but I don't. I write my pages in HTML with a text editor.

Every web developer uses something that does the same or similar to photoshop, unless they are designing a purely text base website.

cfajohnson: i presume you have no good quality images on your website then? or none that you have made yourself atleast.

Not true. I know of many who don't. I'm one.

Many of those who use PhotoShop use it for manipulating images, not for designing a page.

I use many images on my sites. Many of them I have created myself, either with a digital camera, screen capture, the GIMP or, quite often, written in PostScript in a text editor.

I don't.

I use notepad to write the code, a digital camera for images, and either Corel Photo-Paint or mspaint to create the graphics.
