Photoshop Glassy Logo Tutorial

Someone on the NAPP member’s forum asked for a tutorial on how to create a glassy looking button or logo similar to the intel Core Duo logo you can find on this page. I was going to do a bit of a write up in the NAPP forum but then I got to looking around at it and realized just how little participation there is in the NAPP forums - which is a shame but that’s another story. Instead I decided to actually make some use of my Dreamhost account and do a blog post about it. So here goes.

Another customized site in the books

This customization stuff takes a long time. Between Thanksgiving, my marathon, and life in general, I haven’t had much time to do anything with customizations. I’m really looking forward to not being in the Air Force so I can concentrate on this stuff full time. Anyhow, my latest creation is up at [...]

Add another site to the portfolio…

Well I’m pretty much done with Joanna Hudson’s Smugmug site. Joanna asked for a classy design that wasn’t too busy in the same vein as Andy’s site. I really didn’t think that the treatment I gave to andy’s site would be appropriate for Joanna’s so I came up with something a bit different. [...]

The first MLS Smugmug Super Theme is Live

Yay! The first MLS super theme entitled Spoonman went live yesterday. Baldy from Smugmug and Andy Williams kept telling me how much they liked the customization that I did for Cedric John so I decided that since I didn’t charge Cedric to do it, it would be okay to submit it as the [...]

My first Supertheme submission…

The Smugmug team is right now in the middle of coming up with part 4 of their cobranding upgrade. This part apparently includes a way for basic (I don’t know about power and pro but I suppose they would be included in this) users to choose from a selection of themes to modify the [...]

The good parts and the bad parts of doing this webdesign stuff…

The good part of this whole webdesign gig is that it’s something that a lot of people need. Nice looking websites are something a lot of people want and many of them don’t want to take the time to learn how to build a nice looking website. So I’m getting a lot of [...]
