Navigation Bars

These are my very first Navigation bars ever, and I hope y'all like em.
I got bored and started playing around on a photo editing site and made these from scratch.

too primitive 4/10

A good first try there 6/10

you are too nice lol

Any suggestions on how to make them better?

Rounded corners are nice, and New messages and Register should probably be a different color so it doesn't blend in with the background.

ok, thanks.
I'll try to work on it.

finally got the changes made, would have been up sooner, but I got a little busy with other stuff.

Pretty good, but you do need to work on a few things. The font doesn't look very nice, you need something smooth and sharp, instead of having curls and waves. They are very big for a nav bar, but still, nice work.

Thank you for your input, I'll be sure to keep that in mind for my next trial.

Honestly i'd use these on most forums just because i love this colour but yeah there pretty good x

thank you

I don't like the font, though it's decent for a first try.

6/10

They're...Okay , Why do I get a feeling that this was made for a black theme?

@ that70sguy92
Thank you for your opinion.


@ Fred100
It's because I was going off the colors of my forum, just because i didn't know what colors to use.

Nice try But the font shall be bold a little...

68%

actually that is bold for that text, it's kind of a sorry excuse for bolded text though xD

I totally agree with him

Thank you for your input, and by the way I love your display picture xD

Thanks!

Nice try, the font could be improved

yea, I'll be sure to change the fonts on future navbars.

Unfortunately I can't remember which 'tools' I made the bar with.

___EDIT___

I remember
Thank you short attention span xD

Okay, I went and got the revised ones up

I don't like the italics. Or at least I think it's italics, unless it's just a bent font. Otherwise nice.

Sorry, I don't really like 'em...

Edit: Forgot you said it's your first set. It's good for a beginner.

Thanks

its too big 5/10

I tihkn you've already figured out there's room for improvement, which is great because that means there's alot to learn

In short;
> Images need to be smaller. A NavBar's supposed to be on one line.
I'd advise you make the NavBar as one image and then cut it into the different pieces. That generally helps to keep the size in check
> Work the background more. It seems blurred and isn't very appealing
> Make your text stick out a little more.
Sure the contrast between white and dark colors is good, but the text is too plain. Adds effects to emphasize your text
> Rounded corners? Ofcourse, cuts away from the "classic" rectangle. But that also means work the edges; you've got lost pixels which reduce the visual appeal to them.
