What is Digg?62 Comments
- Jolva, on 10/11/2007, -2/+34Wow, everyone's a critic eh? Poor guy made a tutorial for folks that are interested in replicating a current design trend, and a hand full of people that probably couldn't do jack with a graphics application bash him.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -13/+30Like we don't have enough web 2.0 "apps" already...
- MalDON, on 10/11/2007, -3/+19Dude, if you can't figure out how to do this in gimp... sad.
- supersan, on 10/11/2007, -2/+18what the hell is wrong with you people?
that is a very nice tutorial.. if you actually click the link - latinjones, on 10/11/2007, -1/+16Very nice tutorial, but does everything easy on the eyes have to be labeled gorgeous???
- motherwell, on 10/11/2007, -3/+14What makes this web 2.0? What makes anything web 2.0?
- MackPrime, on 10/11/2007, -7/+17really, illustrator is there for a reason, people.
- prockcore, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10I don't know why you're getting dugg down. If you're going to do vector graphics (and most "web 2.0" ***** is) Illustrator is much better suited for it.
I'm guessing that Photoshop is the program all these kids pirated, so that's the one they force to do everything. - coollettuce, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10Rounded corners.
- cave, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7Yea, I hear his next tutorial will cover Illustrator this time around. It will be called "How to remove blemishes from a headshot"
- coolspray, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6I think it emerged aabout 3 months ago from this digg story:
http://digg.com/tech_news/Adobe_The_Photoshop_trademark_must_never_be_used_as_a_verb
For the rest of the day it was funny, but 3 months later would be pushing it, I think. - BlackOp, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7tEh SHiNEZ
- BlackOp, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Or inkscape if you don't want to spend money..
- MikeonTV, on 10/11/2007, -9/+13put this in the recycle bin
- adamrgolf, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5too bad web 2.0 doesn't work in vista yet
- vade79, on 10/11/2007, -7/+10My favorite part is where it goes from a simple piece of paper to a fully rendered globe, it's just that simple!
- chris9902, on 10/11/2007, -6/+9is this really what digg has come to?
- dignews, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Illustrators probably pritty easy to find as well....
- 2ndrookie, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3I agree... I would rather make these in Illustrator. My favorite app by far! DIGG
- BZKyle, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2"Two other things wich I made with exactly the same folder parts"
- nfollmer, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2As stupid as the title of the page was "How to Make a Folder Icon", its actually a good tutorial.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Made with Adobe® Photoshop® Software .
- narutometal, on 10/11/2007, -2/+4Why even follow this tutorial?! Just steal the the finished image... I bet it's transparent for backgrounds.
- meatmcguffin, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Can someone clear up where this meme comes from?
- BlackOp, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2It's just that there are already a million tutorials for this tacky and dated style. Maybe if he came up with something original and wrote a tutorial it would get a different response.
- AvengeX, on 10/11/2007, -2/+3OH MY GOD. Web 2.0. The most unoriginal thing since the dawn of the "business intelligence images combined with ***** flash combined with 'BUY OUR PRODUCT/SERVICE' combined with templatemonster dot com."
And, funnily enough, webdesign.org is infact one of the websites in the Template Monster franchise. Don't believe me? Look at the sidebar.
What is Web 2.0? It certainly isn't a wave of graphic design styles. It's a way that web developers use existing technologies in order to make the web much more useful by building web applications -- stuff like DropSend, for example. Take away all the pretty effects and stupid, cliche "BETA" badges from any site that meets the aforementioned criteria and you'll still have yourself a useful application. If it just looks "pretty" (or rather, "cloned"), it's not Web 2.0. - TRENT310, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1But 3 months later, it's still a trademark. Therefore it still applies.
- fullphaser, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2see comment above, suprisingly accurate.
- p0tent1al, on 10/11/2007, -2/+3Why are you guys digging him down? He's absolutely right
- srg13, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Just use Free Transform (in the context menu, or Ctrl+T) and then drag the topmost corners while holding Control
- dickenshit, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2dumb.
- mparker7410, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2Reflections on tables.
- TruckStuff, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2So-so tutorial, but buried as lame because of "web 2.0" in the title.
- abandonedhero, on 10/11/2007, -0/+13 months later, nobody cares - except you, which leaves you in a small minority of 1.
- meatmcguffin, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Cheers pal
- artistpavel, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1great tutorial, thank you!
- Lightspeed2, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1the difference is that search engine technologies isnt a registered trademark from google, dumb fu**
- whatthehoof, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Don't forget starbursts.
- userbraindamage, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2Why would I need this for my website? :S
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Seriously, do you even read the tutorial or do you just look at the pictures and say OH WOW COOL! Instead of your "just" comment, why don't you give me instructions for every step? Cause you only gave me the answer to JUST one step.
Even the instructions are wrong
Now go to the LAYERS PALLETTE and use the following settings:
Gradient Overlay:
Opacity: 10%
#000000 -> #FFFFFF
Angle: 50°
Stroke
Size: 1px
Position: Outside
Color: #D6D6D6
UMM I THINK HE MEANT LAYER STYLES? O WELLZ SAME THING! See, spam tutorials like that don't care if they're accurate or not. They just make it LOOK like a tutorial so the tutorial submission sites will accept them. - lokendra1989, on 07/29/2008, -0/+0I like it it's too good

(web designer) - cruxed, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1Great tutorial! Thanks!
- Shambla, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_generic_and_genericized_trademarks - how many are you guilty of?
- spankaccount, on 10/11/2007, -4/+4This only got diggs because "web 2.0" was mentioned.
- Shambla, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0And people use the reserved character when they mention Band-Aid or ask for a Kleenex? It's part of our everyday lexicon. We've been talking like this for years...
- With, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0They should have just stopped at the Web 1.5 version on step 3.
- fodaley, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0It's a good tutorial for beginners to learn. To some people it's about the journey, not the destination.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0I've seen a bunch of tutorials about how to make icons, but this one actually produces really nice results. Nice find.
- mwsource, on 10/11/2007, -3/+2Yet another tutorial for the graphically and creatively challenged. For us, the 'do it all' web developers =]
