The History of the Sharpened.net Website

Year 1999: Part 2

The graphic below was the first logo of the Web site. Notice the "sharp" letters and the excessively dark shadows. If you look at more recent graphics on the Web site, you'll notice the shadows are less noticeable, but yet still add a nice three-dimensional effect. Here you can clearly see the random use of colors in the logo.

Sharpened.net - Sharpening your knowledge of computers and the Internet

The random choice of color was pretty consistent throughout the Web site, giving each page a unique visual flair. This is apparent from some of the other page headers I created.

I suppose you could use the word "fun" to describe these images, but they were pretty far from professional. Adobe Photoshop has a lot of great visual effects you can apply to images, but that doesn't mean using all of them is a good idea. I think it takes everybody awhile to figure this out, and I apparently hadn't at this point.
