Have I got a treat for you! I have created two website headers that you can use, if you so desire. And unlike most designers, I did these in Fireworks, so they are happy-go-lucky png’s (I am not sure if I am a rogue or just behind the times when it comes to Fireworks…). Just right click on the Screen Shots and save the linked png file. The first is a thick header with muted colors and it was inspired by the Zitrusfrisch site. I really like this thick look and the trendy text balloon.
This next banner utilizes what I like to call the “Flag Effect” and I saw it at Ahead Enterprise. It is kinda like a flag hung from the ceiling and to me, it looks best when used on a fairly simple page. In my example, I put the flag on a white background and just had it overlap an image. The menu is also very clean and simple. In fact, I almost went with something like this for my redesign, but I tend to change my mind very often…
Eventually, I will be turning these into full blown website templates available for download. But for now, I hope you like the header images!
Awesome job on using Fireworks! I love using Fireworks, ut you can create cooler things in Photoshop :P. Anyways, the headers look awesome! Nicely done.
Thanks Sean. For some reason, I never started out using Photoshop, and now it just intimidates the hell out of me…
Yeah I’m just like you “J David” i also started out on fireworks ported over to photoshop for a month or two for my coursework a couple of years back. Now it intimidates the hell out of me too, i guess I’ll just stick to fireworks. Good work on the headers & tutorials, keep them coming.
Good job dude!
I normally use PS to work on images - somehow, i got used to it and at present I can’t just think without it. Waiting eagerly to buy CS3.
Nice Fireworks Job!!
You inspired me to do my next project by using this tool.
Hope for new good tutorials and header image from your site..
