Preserved Topic: check out my graphic.

hey every1.
just started using photoshop. and i was wondering if their any tutorials out there, that show how to go about making an interface. not so much the java coding, as the photoshop techniques involved. i have some idea but need a little help.
also check out my graphic, and tell me what y'all think. http://www.geocities.com/pppunday/mak51.jpg
Makaveli out.

decent, simple, graphic... except guns suck. and acutally the only thing done there is transparent letters? but still, a better start than i probably had.

cheers.mikey.milker

Its alright like Milker said the only thing really done there is the transparent letters. You should check out www.designsbymark.com and www.screamdesigns.com for interface tutorials I guess. No one here is a big fan of screamdesigns but it does have a tut for interfaces ...

I guess my problem is that I cannot read the letters at all...maybe it's my old eyes acting up again.

Nice color tones, cool transparents, shitty font. No, no... really shitty font.

--Stevo--

hmmm... I dont like 'guns'... plus I really am not into the 'radial' copper gradient you used.. too 'box standard'.... I couldnt read the font, however... practice makes perfect .... what is the website gonna be about?... or dare I ask?..

well thanx every1 for the insight. it was one of my first graphics. the website's goingta be about a dead rapper.
and thanx for the links for interface tutorials, those really help.
i made something else, if u all could check this out too, that be great. http://www.geocities.com/pppunday/mak3.jpg

The background and color scheme makes me want to vomit--too crazy for my tastes. I'm a super-big fan of usage of white space (or blank space in general). This one just seems a touch too active for my particular tastes.

And the dead rapper--would that be TuPac (or whatever the heck his name was)? Never a fan of his music...at all. But, takes all kinds, yes?
