      I Just Can't Hold It In Any Longer...

      I've been waiting for the website to be updated before I posted this. I just closed my first graphic design job! I made enough money off of this to make it more than worth my while, thanks to the guy I did it for being an honest, generous businessman. I've been wanting to show off my work on here, but I had to set up a PayPal account so that he could pay me first, before he could put up the banners on his site.

      Here's the link to the site: www.pssaves.com

      I made the main banner, the smaller banner on the left, and the favicon. And yes, that is completely from scratch. No stock images or the like, it was made from blank document to finished piece in Photoshop using almost entirely layer styles. Seeing as I'd never done anything like this prior to this, I'm pretty proud of it and want to show it off. Plus, it seems like a pretty good site for PlayStation game saves.

      So check it out and give me some feedback, people!

      Pretty good for a first time with Photoshop. The design is pretty cool.

      Learn some Flash and it'll do you a lot of good.

      Oh yeah, Flash can do alot. Although I feel sorry for people using their Nintendo Wii's.

      Oh yes, as you saw, I was credited in the HTML as well.

      The background is the site owner's business, I just made the banners to match. I'm pretty sure he likes the solid color background.

      Thanks, Squall! Not my first time using Photoshop, not by far, just my first time making something like this, from scratch. Just to clarify. I'm not sure I'm ready for Flash yet, but I'll check out the demo and give it a shot one of these days.

      It's a lot of fun MoS. I would say the sooner you get into it the better.

      Me neither.

      EDIT: If this was senseless banter, there would have been a slight chance of getting away with that image.

      EDIT: What's wrong with it?

      EDIT: There was a naked kid doing his business. Sure there was no front-view, but you could have chosen something less borderline, me thinks...

      Eh wtf.
      You merely have to change your point of view slightly, and then that glass will sparkle when it reflects the light.

      It looks pretty nice, but a little plain.

      I like it though. Kind of an odd website to make a banner for, Playstation 1 Game saves.

      LOL.
      You do this every fucking time.
      No sweat.
      No tears.
      No guilt.
      You do this every fucking time.
