Just last night I finished a project that I did for Kylie (my sister in law) as a Christmas present (so don't tell her yet). In case someone doesn't know, she's obsessed with Batman.
Right now it's at http://kylielovesbatman.blogspot.com, but we'll see where she ends up putting it.
I made three separate images, one for the header, one for the footer, and one for the middle. With some tweaking in the blogspot code, I was able to get it turn out. I was happy with how it looked for my first truly customized blog. I still have some other smaller things to add, like Icons and font stuff, but I'm pretty sure Kylie will love it. Hopefully in the future, I put together a tutorial on how I did this and modified it for blogspot.
I found the bat shape off of a deviant art site, the batman font (that you can find on many font sites), used some textures overlayed for the header and some brushes for the footer, and finally used a brushed metal style that I got off of the adobe site as the overall background.

AMAZING. Wow. You did a great job with this. I don't know anything about PS but still appreciated you describing how you did it. Very creative and well done. Looking forward to your tutorial someday!
Did you see the header I made from your inspiration? Thanks for that. I did it in Microsoft Digital Image Pro since that's all I have. Wasn't the same process as PS but results were okay in the end.
I thought it was interesting that I couldn't get onto your blog without signing into my VPN. All the other blogs I can open but yours wouldn't. I wonder why not. A big error window came up with all sorts of harsh-looking chinese characters shouting at me when I tried. (yikes)
NEWS: We got tickets for Thailand over Chinese New Year in February. I can tell you this because you're on your way to Hawaii! So happy for you guys! Have a great time! Tell Triners hi for me...kisses to the baby princess!!
I do Love it! More than you know! Thanks Ryan! You're the best Brother in Law ever!
