046-Another Stripe

Made something like the white shape at work today. Thought I would try running a stripe over, under and through it tonight. I'm digging the one pixel strokes for subtle shadows and hi-lites.

016-Textured Ribbon

Someone asked me how I made the tapered drop shadows earlier in the week. Here is how. Thought I would try and make a textured ribbon passing through the slit, similar to Apple's website last Christmas.

009-Trendy Lines

Followed this tutorial this morning for trendy geometric lines. I kept it all Illustrator and skipped the Photoshop parts. Don't usually get a chance to use Gill Sans Ultra Bold but I think it works here.

007-Crazy 3D Stripes

While working on a web site design, last month, I was playing with drop shadows and for some reason drew 1/4 of this shape. Today, I ran across it and decided to finish what I had started. It is a hard design to make in Illustrator with the shadows and continuous piece overlapping - but now I have a system.
