Fresh Photoshop Effects for Today’s Web Design

1) Neon Effect

The website pluginfree.net contains a detailed illustration on how to make a Neon Effect. The illustration is both enlightening and simple. The neon effect could also be seen in the menus of the so-called Photoshop sisters made in industrialized countries of the Far East. The technology is also made possible by improvements in computer screen hardware. Some commentators claim that the arrival of better computer screens paved the way for website designers to experiment on new and powerful colors in website design like the Neon Effect. The effect is good for club websites or those promoting concerts. For someone who wants to create a unique and brilliant personal website complete with some touch of modernity, the effect can produce his expectations. Of course, the effect can be merely an appendage and not the main attraction of the website. As to what to do with the special effect made possible by the technology, the same lies with the website owner or his chosen website designer.

2) Lighting Effect

Many so-called art commentators claim that art and technology are like water and oil, they don't mix. We beg to disagree. Art is totally dependent to technology. The improvement or development in art, including website design, is highly dependent on the changes in technology. Let's go to the history of painting. Observe that the color blue is not seen in paintings prior to the fifteenth century. The reason for this is the fact that the extraction of a friendly blue dye for painting (not for brick glazing) had not yet been discovered. When it was discovered, artists started using the dye to create all sorts of brilliant paintings complete with detailed skies and ocean waves. The same is true with the lighting effect in website design. According to dm2studios.blogspot.com, the lighting effects in Photoshop are a powerful way of enhancing the visual appeal of a design. The special lighting effect was made possible by Photoshop. Nowadays, all sorts of ecommerce lines of businesses are using the effect for whatever purpose including website renovation or simple making an impression to their customers.
