Design tips: Visual distinction

Question

Hi there.

Currently I have a site where it has a header that looks something like this: note: dd = dropdown

------------------------------------------------------
|[game specific dd][game specific dd]       [main dd]|
------------------------------------------------------

now my question is, what sort of visual distinction would you do to define the main dd as the main menu?

here is the site: webspirited.com/ha2/

Answer 1

I would try sinking the game drop section and giving it a different background colour, this would define it away from the currently active section.

I could whip up an example if you like?
