Nicest Looking Navigation Bar On the Net!

Oohhh!! Look at that nav-bar! Yahoo’s designers created a sweet looking navigation bar. If I was to give out the Best Navigation Bar On The Net Award it would go to YahooMusic. First all you see is the simple beveled gray bar, when you hover over a button, it turns a subtle green color but once you hit it and land on a page associated with one of them the button becomes about  a pixel larger on top and bottom, turns a nice green color and gets an outer-glow or a shadow effect around it. Man, it looks so nice, it makes me want to copy it for one of my web sites.

Hot Cosmo Title Examples

It’s hard to come up with goot catchy titles or headlines when trying to put together a nice piece of content. From reading a lot of blogs online I see that many suggest using the headlines on the cover of the Cosmopolitan magazine as examples. Take the title they have and modify it to apply to your article. Well actually I guess you’re suppose to do this the other way, create a catchy title first and then write the article accordingly. Many cases however, don’t turn out this way. I, many times, already have the article and need to create the title afterwards, so it becomes a bit harder.

Today I went through a handfull of Cosmopolitan magazine covers and picked out these headlines that can be modified to fit your content. Just fill in the blank.

Clean Logo with Icon

Nice clean logo with a chrome look effect on one of the words. I like the nice custom icon, a good example for if you ever need to design an icon like this. It has a high rise buildings background and a residential house in the front.

I also like the simple navigation bar. The subtle hover to yellow adds to the design. Very nicely done.
