Howto do wallpapers ( for skins )
First template for our ijf-blog made with ps, i call it a working trial, cause the main stuff like contributor areas works fine, but i wasn’t contented with the general view, so the final version was here
As you can see, added one more level, where i could add a shadow, so it looks 3D, changed the stroke, so it looks more like a corporate design the base i took is from my windows system, i madeit with win dresser, a great tool, where you can almost
redesign your whole windows look, including folder sight, almost everything…i know there’s some tools for apple as well, but that’s a thing u should ask peety…okdk, back to the skin: i used several brushes, all selfmade for the background, easy to fix your brushes on ps: choose a interesting pic, adjust the contrast & colour if neccessary, choose the brush as default, voila there u go with your own brush…
Now the logo: i used the font type “collegiate”, used different angles, added shadows, adjusted the “look & feel”, voila herre you have it.
That was the final version:

So this one was the final version, added the little thingy on the side, some music below ( you had to scroll down), added panda, my favourite comic chick, as you can see all shadows are pointing in one direction, i saw a lot of skins at ( bollox )blogskins, where let’s say four different shadows are pointing in four different directions…silly isn’t it?
I mean, you can easily adjust this with ps, when you override your shadows with the universal button.

    well i already told you how fabulous and unique these works are. and the template from ijf rocks my socks! :D it’s one of the best and most professional i’ve ever seen.

    yup i’m actually staying at my old blog on blogger, because i love the possibilty of making my own skins there from zero. and i’m keeping it just as a journal, no comments allowed even, only the tagboard.

    take care!
