Jan

2009

Hello,

i have been testing my software further more, checking shadows, shapes, mirror reflection, effects, edges... This set of ranks is more an experiment, but still - hope someone will like them.

Imagine how thin the font is when bold is disabled then Razz

. I used this font and this boldness just because i found it being quite similar to Vista`s font ( been comparing from Google images ).

I tried to answer to this question, but i dont have an answer. Not a correct one. The only thought that comes on my mind and eclipses any other, is : I am not good enough for Graphic Staff. I learn quickly with any program given to me, i test, i try, i modify, i check and ( hopefully ) i SEE the graphic, i see the button and understand what it has to become to satisfy some criteria... But my graphic artist path started exactly 13 days ago. All i can do is buttons, ranks and nav bars. I dont think thats good enough, or is it ?

Sjenka : thanks, i appreciate it Very Happy

^^...
apply.

At least you'll get to see how far you can go.

20 InsanityVonMike, on 29/01/2009 at 21h54

Hm... aren't you using one of those selfmaking button softwares?
Anyways, good job on them, no matter what way they are created,
it's cool that you've uploaded them.
