This is the first variant that I created yesterday… but because it looked too simple to me, I piled a few of these one on top of the other and added the inscription that they are made of gold… ;)

Just an experiment with light and colors, inspired by Mac Tylor… And yes, Daily Design is back! :)))

2010 ends. And so ends (for now, at least) the Daily Design series. :)

Did I fail or did I win?

— I failed, because I did not manage to create/publish 365 daily designs, as I have promised to myself nearly a year ago. Instead of 365, I managed to create ~ 60 works.

— But I also succeeded, because I now master Fireworks much better, and I understand better the concepts of combining color, light and shadow. I experiment more.

Finally — why I am doing it? For pure fun. (Ani said it much better in today’s 50th episode of Friday Bunny.)

So Happy New Year and cheers! C’ya soon in 2011!

(I can open a bottle of wine and say “Cheers!” because I don’t have Dipsophobia…;-)

I was inspired by this dribbble shot by Tymn Armstrong (here’s my re-bound). And not that I am not using Fireworks every day for Web work even now, but I plan to use it even more in 2011! This is one of the Web apps that became indispensable in my daily Web work.

PS And… err, maybe I also wanted to make some cool-looking Denim texture… ;)

A bit of an experiment with light and perspective…

/* Or maybe you could say that I would like to find the key with which to unlock some things for me in 2011. I hope I’ll find it… ;) */

UPDATE (2010/Dec/27): One more variant… :)
