Exclusive look for Dedicated server banner design. New server’s image from istockphoto.

The color, black + dark blue toning, motion lighting, grand server look, and growing effect which been applied to the text ( Title ) make overall looks nice.

Black + Dark blue in toning, add in noise effect, after that apply motion blur on it, apply blending mode ” Linear Light ” which located at layer pallet there to make grow effect.

Insert the server image, duplicate it, flip vertical, apply vector mask and apply black and white gradient on it, here you will get the reflection shadow of the server.

Christmas e-card from Exabytes, 2007. I purposely design the size longer. Idea is, create two stories at above and bottom, but a linking stories. Look at the reindeer first ( at above ), it is standing on the roof, finding his ” father ” who is Santa. So where is the Santa? He might be felt down into the house through the chimney. So, that will indirectly make you scroll down to find the Santa too! In the middle, wishes and messages there, after that, found Santa. Yeah! Here he is! Inside the house already and wish you a Merry Christmas with his presents in warming environment.

2007 Happy Halloween, I have created an e-card and send out to all Exabytes’ clients among Halloween day. Elephant, wearing like a witch, how I did that? Just mixing the elephant with the witch’s hat and black robe. The elephant wearing nothing at the first, get the hat and robe, add shadow and transform in warp mode to fit the elephant and touch up.

The background behind, which are the house, clouds and trees, etc, drawing with Illustrator then paste into Photoshop.

Tips! What make the elephant looks ” real ” in the environment? The Shadow. Look at the elephant’s shadow and reflected image, you are advised to do so which can make the things looks match up nicely and feel ” real “.
