Ytzie's Place

I first started playing with my graphic program because I wasn't able to find on the Internet the images I wanted for my auction templates, and when I did, they had copyright issues, such as "you can't use them on commercial sites" (which an auction technically IS) or "you have to link back, be grateful for the rest of your life and submit a DNA sample in order to use this image".
The little image on the right , is one of my first banners.

After those very simple first graphics, I started finding out all the features of the software and making more and more complicated stuff. So complicated that most of the time was worthless, because the graphics on the page would overpower the images of the items that I was actually auctioning. The image on the left is an example of my "overaccesorized" era (tsk tsk)

Actually, I still think they are good, only not so auction-template-apropriate.

That's the reason why I started doing two different things. First, commercializing the graphics by themselves, so if somebody liked them, they would be able to get them and use them wherever they wanted, and second, designing "cleaner" graphics for websites and auction templates.

So I have a little of everything in the different categories, but what I enjoy the most, is to develop something especially designed for somebody, having in mind the kind of page, business or product; the customers personal preferences regarding colors, shapes, lines, textures and the functionality of the final result.
