So,
did I scare you? Ugly isn't it? How about that title? it's the end result after
a whole sunday sitting at my laptop with nothing but Adobe Photoshop and
a HTML editor. And no, that's not Norwegian above. I realized that Black text (see the font?),
much less any other color text would barely be readable against the
tiled green tile background.
I was just randomly hitting keys to draw out a table (rectangle) with
a white background. I wish more people would think of that when using a
tiled background.
How about that graphic on top? It's sort of cool looking
if you realize the things I learned to do it. First I learned how to manipulate
the text more. Creating the 3D effect, complete with shading and shadows.
The coolest trick I learned was to keep the background of
the sign transparent so you can see the lines of the tiled background instead of a
big rectangle like the GIF actually is. With Photoshop that really isn't such a
feat in and of its self. The cool part is there is no white halo around the edge of the
picture, I properly anti-aliased the green background color.
It doesn't look like it's made up of pixels.
