Grrrrrrrr…I need immediate help

Hi, this is my first post and will not be my last. This is my first WordPress site for a client who wants a blog/website. I really thought it would be easier than it has been and I am catching on I suppose. My problem is I want custom navigation using typography, but I am not sure what to do to achieve this. I have my custom header in place and and added in the Catch Flames WP Theme, however I would like the type to navigate my site. I remove the menu that was showing by using an empty menu and setting the location to the empty menu. See here thebaldpalette.com. What I thought I could do was use the header as background, leave the text out, make each word an image in photoshop, upload to my WP media file, use an image widget to place the text and place URL directions, however I can’t move the site content down where it doesn’t cover the background. I want the header to say 1600px wide, as shown and I want the content to fall slightly below the navigation. Please if anyone has a solution I would deeply appreciate it. I am afraid to break something attempting to write CSS code on my own, but I definitely can follow directions. Thanks
