Fresh Navigation Buttons.
Step one:
Start with a large black canvas. On your layers window make a new layer set, name it Fresh Navigation Tabs.
In a new layer draw a 114 x 25 pixels, #6FD325 rectangle. Cut the top left corner of your rectangle using your lasso tool.
Step two:
With your step one layer add the following layer styles:
Step three:
Choose your text tool and select font Arial from the font list. Set the size to 13 pt, bold, smooth and white for color. In a new text layer type in your first navigation link on your tab.
Step four:
Add the rest of your navigation links with their own tab.
Step five:
In a new layer draw a 1 pixel, black line across your navigation tabs.
Set your layers blending mode to Color Burn and set your opacity level to 16 %.
Step six:
Now duplicate your 1 pixel line and nudge the layer down by 4 pixels.
Step seven:
In a new layer draw a 488 x 15 pixels, black rectangle across your navigation tabs.
Set your layers blending mode to Lighten and add a stroke layer style:
Step 8:
Now duplicate your black rectangle layer from the last step and position it just on the middle of your tabs, modify the opacity level to 30%.
Final:

Hi nice post, i have come across your site once before when searching for something so i was just wondering something. I love your theme, would it happen to be a free one i can download, or is it a custom one you had made? In a few weeks i will be launching my own site, i’m not great with designs but i really like the style of your site so it would be cool if i could find (or pay for) something with a similar look.
Thanks!
