How to Design a Simple Desktop Navigation Menu in Figma

  1. Use the Rectangle Tool to create a background for the navigation menu.
  2. Use the Text Tool to create each menu item as a separate text element (e.g., Home, About, Contact).
  3. Select all the menu items, right-click, and choose Add Auto Layout.
  4. In the Auto Layout settings, set the direction to Horizontal.
  5. Adjust the Gap Between Items to 15.
  6. Select the entire group of menu items and position them in the center or wherever you think looks best.
  7. Use the Text Tool again to add a logo as text. Align it appropriately—typically centered or on the left side of the menu.
    (Alternatively, you can insert an image logo if you prefer.)
