Glossy-Style Carbon Fibre Navigation Buttons



September 10th, 2007 in | Written by Photoshop Star |

I really love this kind of style, so I thought just I d share another tutorial with you guys (and girls, of course) on how to design something like what I ve shown below, a kind of glossy, carbon fiber navigation set

I know this navigation set will most likely be going on a clan website design or something like that, but I really love designing really cool, grungy backgrounds for my tutorials anyway, so if you would like to learn how to design the background I ve shown in the image below, continue with this step, if not you can just skip to the next step.

Start by creating a new document in Photoshop I used a small document size of 400 x 400 pixels (as usual), but you may want to use something a bit bigger, as it s always a good thing having plenty of space to work with. After creating your new document, find and get out the Gradient Tool , set the gradient type to Radial and drag a gradient in the background.

If you want your background to come out the same as mine shown above, then you ll want to change your foreground and background colors to the ones I ve shown above!

After making your gradient apply Filter Noise Add Noise with a fairly low amount.

Try some other Filter effects to give the background a nice look. The filters under the Artistic and Brush Strokes categories are usually pretty cool. Well, we re done with the main background, now it s time to add some more details textures and grunge brushing!

So, are you more interesting in adding texture to your background, or just grunge brushing hanging off of the corners? The quickest is probably just putting a texture over the top and changing the layer modes/opacities, so let s give that a go. Start by , then copying it into your document.
