Web 2.0 Design

April 11th, 2007 by alex

While I was a looking a web design company that can make a good layout for a new site of mine I thought that I could spare some money and try to create my own design. My aim is web 2.0 design or at least something that could be close to web 2.0 (rounded corners, very simple and attractive design), something like Leisuretime Vip, I really like their design. Anyway this is just an example because there are many other great designs on the web.

Armed with my Photoshop I googled for tutorials, specially web 2.0 photoshop tutorials and I found 68.900.000 results, nice huh ? With all the tutorials for buttons, badges, headers, text effects and many other things I think is better to make your own design than pay someone to do it for you.

I must say that you don’t need to know to much about Photoshop because you can find nice tutorials that will tell you what to do step by step, you only need some patience and some free time, which in my opinion worth the effort.

Now I have to work on my new design and I will show it to you when it will be done, I am sure that will be a nice one. Until I will finish my site layout I thought it will be nice to share some of the best tutorials that I found online…

    So do you think that the profession of webdesign is compleatly pointless and unessasary?

    Oh and I thought i would point out that the Leisuretime Vip site, doesnt have rounded corners, isnt a simple design, and looks pretty crap…

    when you finish your web site (which im sure will look amazing) do let us know…
