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

I use notepad to write the code, a digital camera for images, and either Corel Photo-Paint or mspaint to create the graphics.
I wasn't saying everyone has Photoshop, but something similar, like paint shop pro, corel photo-paint, fireworks, GIMP etc etc. Or even Paint but i would be really interested to see some good interface graphics you have created with Paint.

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

Aaah... I see the same people active at the accessibility thing and art(not) thing again. :p

I think vander...something's original question was how to design navigation using photoshop. He meant to use that navigation for his site. He didn't exactly say he'd make the entire site from photoshop and cut the images and be a tables-based site with no alt tags *shudders*, right?

For vandergezen (eh, sorry about the name), you can follow the tutorial marathon at talkmania if only to get ideas on color-schemes and different layout/site interface.

If you're just looking for inspiration, you can subscribe to smashingmagazine's RSS feed. I actually visit the design showcase archive regularly. They feature things from effective favicons, innovative blog layouts, minimalist designs (probably the only thing in my post midimagic will approve :p), and web form design (among others).

So have at it! Quick! I shall hold these raving graphics fans and non-fans at bay while you read those articles!

haha. lol yeh well, whatever! I can't seem to get past it.

Try this: http://www.tutorialized.com/tutorials/Photoshop/1 it has always helped me. And have a look at my site as well: www.photoshopthis.co.uk There is a navigation bar on there. Not really up to the modern touch but it will give you some ideas and photoshop concepts i'm sure.

Just so you know vandenzergen more people are moving away from graphic intensive designing and concentrating on very clean elements (like this site does) as well as trying to minimize the bandwidth used by the user.

Sorry for going off topic so much!

Myself included. ccube, midimagic, roryt, and me are probably the most active people when the 'discussion' is about intense graphics vs accessibility standards.

(Sorry for hi-jacking your thread vandenzergen --- finally got his name right)

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

creating a menu from photoshop is not a good idea or i want say it's really not good for web design because photoshop is completely deals in photo's only so if you design a menu from photoshop then it is completely image based and it takes time to load on a web page on user side so it's not a good think

so here if you want to design a good web site then you should use css,java script and ajax for designing a dynamic menu.



but if you wish to create a menu from photoshop the not a problem you can easily do it for doing this first of all design a background image or you can say a base image for your menu than design some other images if you wants to put them on different parts of your menu but pls consider on think that the size of images not big you should deals only in few Kb otherwise it a great problem and after designing images use you css skills to construct a menu.


i think it might be help to you
