About | |||||||||||||||
The idea was to have this banner designed by someone outside of the business. To show credit to someone else, to help further the career of an unknown. However, it did not work out that way, as the person that the company had in mind to do the banner, after several weeks, was unable to complete the task. It was then just a week before the release of the new site, that owner Wayne Barron decided that he was going to work on it himself. And this is the design that we went with. The flashing Spotlight banner. | |||||||||||||||
The Design Process | |||||||||||||||
The original plan was doing a Spotlight on both sides of the banner, the design was not idea, and looked very cheesy, and well, very retro early 2000's look, and that was not what Wayne was going for. After a good night's sleep, he came up with the idea of the design that we are using here.
Instead of trying to build a spotlight in Photoshop, I used one that I already had on my computer. The one that I used, was already made, so I just removed it from its original background. Here is the actual page that I got it from. Though, I have to say. I might go back and redo the light to make it a little better.
