Live Project - Oh shiny!For the last week Ive been playing around with css - looking at other people's code on zengarden (
www.csszengarden.com/) and figuring out the elements i will require. Ive recently discovered *to my relief* how to position elements - this may sound basic but every tutorial out there on css (that ive seen) deals with the very-basics and, ofcourse, websites that use css, on the web have seperate stylesheets which arn't visable in the source. Ive been searching for this answer for ages and am so pleased ive found it.
So, for the passed week Ive been staring at code alot and im pretty sick of it! So I thought id work on the design side of the site for abit.
Im currently working on the windows that will hold the main text. Ive found some good tutorials about making graphics look reflective and transparent, and Im using these while playing around in photoshop - (

The following is some examples of what iv been working on. These would be used as the backgrounds of windows:
He's a young web designer from kansas < usa. This image is a banner from one of his designs. I like the reflective effects used on the banner and the sides of the page. He uses these effect alot throughout his work, creating attractive designs and giving his work an identity.It have used this reflective style when creating the following, which i may use as a banner for my portfolio.
Ive added a box and some effects from a tutorial from http://www.tutorial9.net/ - theres a couple of effects ive not been able to muster. Im lagging due to tiredness, ya see. But I'll have anyother go at it tomorrow after Ive done some PRP work (you'll be happy to hear, Shaun!)
