Photoshop buttons

The last few days I spent some time improving the look of my blog. While blogger templates make things really easy to manipulate, it has its limitations. So I created a new header in photoshop and made a few small hacks to the html code.

In addition to the banner, color and font changes I also spent some time looking around different websites set up for bloggers and social bookmarking, all that web 2.0 stuff. I noticed that a lot of these sites used similar styling in their logos. After examining them I thought I could probably create similar things pretty easily with my limited self-taught knowledge of photoshop.

It sounded fun, so I went ahead and created, I guess I'll call it a logo, for this blog. Cool eh?



Feeling pretty good about it, I went ahead and made one for Amy's online portfolio (note work in progress). She's pretty busy with school and hasn't been able to do much with it yet. So here is the one I came up with for Amy Connor Live.




Let me know what you think. These are a little bit larger than what I'd recommend using on a blog or site, but, you get the picture. If you are interested in having me make one for your blog leave a comment. Unless I get a bunch of requests I'll even do it for free.
