Aw, thanks. I was playing with more, but I felt like simple when it came down to it at that point. I'm messing with another one for when the season changes. I'm a big fan of fall (it's the growing up in New England thing, I think).
You'll notice on sites like Shaye's, mine, buggs', that it's really not that complex. The thing that makes it unique and more than just a layout is the picture that people use. Buggs' is a lot more complex, it's blending and fading and really knowing what you're doing with Photoshop. But Shaye's looks like it's a photo with some really, really good application of Photoshop brushes. Mine, right now, is just a cutout. My next one is a bit more adventurous.
But the trick is simply finding a royalty-free photo that you like (this is a favorite site) and thinking of what you'd like to do to it. An example... I took this picture and turned it, with some Photoshop fun, into this icon.
If you find a photo you like and want to kick it over to me, I'm willing to play with it a bit for you.
