We are now going to be adding a couple of layer styles to our box. From your layers box, right-click your shape and click "Blending Options". (You can also get there using the toolbar menu at the top by choosing Layer => Layer Style => Blending Options. Make sure the layer is selected in the layers box.). From the blending options on the left, select the outer glow and apply the following settings: Don't close the blending options box just yet. Now select the Satin effect and apply the following settings Click the Ok button to close the Blending Options. Now that our background is beautifully ready, we are ready to add our navigation elements. Let's start by adding a place at the top to hold the title of the navigation box. We do that by first creating a new layer. To create a new layer, choose Layer => New => Layer from the menu toolbar at the top. Make sure the layer just created is chosen in the layers box. Select the rectangular marquee tool and enter 5px in the feather box.
