__________________ Web 2.0 __________________


Here comes the new era of Web 2.0 bringing a revolution in the web-world characteristized by simplicity, big chunks of text, gradients, rounded corners, soft shadows, strokes, mirrors(reflections), and all other imaging effects that makes the designs so simple and professional .

There are no cut-off for Web 2.0 logos and designs to qualify for the title, still a Web 2.0 has some markable characteristics to make it distinguishable from other graphics and artwork .

Web 2.0 designs are bright, cheerful, with lots of blue, orange , green(specially lime green- often referred to as the official color of Web 2.0). The big types and fonts gives the design a distinct look which helps it look open, friendly and bold .

The Web 2.0 style is not only limited to logos or glossy buttons but it is widely used to make beautiful websites, layouts, templates, icons, headers, and even in the print media .

This blog is dedicated to Web 2.0 graphics, designs, logos, and artwork by me mostly made in Adobe Photoshop, the leading image processing software .

Green Tux Wallpaper
















Here comes a mac-linux wallpaper with a highly glossy look. A combination of the macintosh background having white swipes of gradients and a linux Tux changed to the similar color combination(green) although the pink nose and legs contrasts to the overall color theme. The all-green wallpaper has gloss, gradients, strokes and most other features to make it eye-catching

Tux - captured in a shiny orb














Hence after the extra aquafied gloss being shattered by Tux I tried to capture it in an orb ....... but the shine multiplied with the presence of the glossy orb . Again I selected the blue color them for Tux and the orb over the same green mac style background used in the Green Tux Wallpaper . Tux really seems to be confused captured in the transparent orb .
