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… :)

Inspired by Ulrik Jensen, and created for pure fun using Fireworks tools and blending modes (make sure to click the images to see the full-size versions — up to 1060x880px!).

Because I realize my logo for the non-existing company “Red Star” (should not be confused with Red Star Line) looks too similar to Ulrik’s work, I asked permission to publish my own version, and Ulrik was kind enough to allow me to do so! :)

The second version of the Red Star Company logo uses part of a photograph which is in the Public Domain (it shows the steamer Lapland, by Red Star Line).

(EDIT @ 21:05) A third variant, based on some valuable feedback from Ani:
