Tips and tricks in making web2.0

This was my first web design and i made it in last June 2008.

At first i don't have any idea in building this site especially in web 2.0 style. It's kinda difficult on me as new designer to think of a new, original and fresh designs. Web 2.0 is the latest trend in web designing as of today's. My friend Jason and Ryan give some tips on me how to build a web2.0, Jason is also a web expert in designing and had an experience of 2years. and Ryan is a programmer too.

Tip number 1:
First search the meaning of web2.0 in http://www.webdesignfromscratch.com/real-web-20-design.cfm

Tip number 2:
find some inspiration sites and i discovered http://www.monstertemplate.com which is my favorite and inspiring web design sites.

Tip number 3:
Find some web.2.0 tutorials in Google there are lots of tutorials you discovered and try to follow some designs you like until you get the style.

Tip number 4:
Lastly keep on practicing some web.2.0 style button, for banners, typograhpy and arrangements of contents.


So the next thing i do was thinking of a site then i used adobe Photoshop CS3. I was like thinking like an hour and i did not even start a single one. Then thanks to my friend Jason and Ryan they give some advices on me again.. In order for me to start a design i should draw it on a scratch book or on a paper. Next I begin on drawing my design in scratch book and try to visualize or picture out the contents the structure of my banner, logo my navigation...

Little by little i manage to make it..and it took me one day to design my first design in web 2.0.
