Making Good Css Art?

[MikeyS9607]

I know that CSS is a coding language, but this thread focuses on the art side. Does anyone here know ay good ways to make CSS art for menus, and all that jazz?

Tutorials would be nice.

Thanks in advance!

When it comes down to it, you are just using CSS to place art on a webpage. If you turn off the images in your web browser you will see what I mean. You should focus on making a good layout for the site, then make the elements(graphics of which you place on the page with CSS). You should look into CSS3, beware of browser compatibility because some CSS3 will now work in all browsers. There are a lot of good CSS3 codes like the rounded corners, all fonts are web safe and the drop shadows and those that I just mentioned work in all browsers.

All you can do is practice practice practice.
Or try to find someone to do it for you (with appropriate credit given/payment if it's for a profit)

Im kinda confused on what you mean for art - when I think Webpage art - you can design a PSD file on Photoshop, and each layer is its own CSS image...if that makes sense - so depending on your details, or what the site is for....I mean, id help makign some - but I do art for work now, so I cant put time aside.
