Practice stuff??

PeterV

The image below isn't an interface or anything, just some things I've been playing with since I visited this site and photoshoptower. You've kept me busy and I've learned a lot from all of you. Thanks for that.
The thing is I've never done much interface stuff, mainly simple things and never the techie stuff, for lack of a better word, that you and X do.
I just want to know if this is corny looking. These are all individual items and again, not an actual interface. Just practice.
Please be kind to this old man!

Hey Pete,

You have a good start to making interfaces.

Its your lucky day becuase I am about to start writing a multi part interface building tutorial.

Until then, I hight suggest visiting [link]

I learned everything from there.

Good Luck!

Thanks X! It's totally new to me but I like it.

The spheres are a little odd but I actually like them.
Thanks for the link.

I was wondering how you guys enter your sigs. I went to my profile page and it only allows text.
It's been awhile!

For that top thing, It look like you are using a gradient. Try using the dodge and burn tools with a very soft setting to maket them look more realistic Very Happy

I see your point X, thanks.

Yes dodge and burn took me quite a while before l started messing with them, but they are very powerful and can add some really nice depth to your creations...

Great suggestion X...

Yea, I use dodge and burns on everything I make...Exept sigs. Which I don't make to often Razz

Those are very neat ideas. I would put them on my site but then they'd be bigger then all the others Razz

Yea, Sigs and I never really got along. I am defiantly more into web design and interfaces.

I actually went back and did exactly that. When I looked at it this morning I couldn't get over how dark the gradient actually looked. I like the dodge a burn tools and have used it quite a lot when trying to make textures for some the 3d stuff I try to create. The operative word being TRY.
Thanks for the help guys.
