Hi. I'd like to discuss...web 2.0 graphics. I'm sure you've heard of them. 1px lines that go 45 degrees, shapes and graphics that have a "glossy" effect and sometimes have a reflection on them? Yeah, I'm sure you've heard of them.
I'm a fan of web 2.0 graphics actually. I remember back when I was 14 or so, I used to see these userbars and I told myself "I want to be able to do these." I just liked them. Here I am now, finally knowing how to create a glossy effects and userbars. I thought it was quite nice that I learned how to do them. Shortly, my one-man celebration faded away.
I always thought these were cool but now I'm starting to get somewhat annoyed with them. I like making these graphics but I'm just annoyed with them now because they're everywhere. They're on websites I usually go to like wwe.com, flyers (I think web 2.0 graphics just doesn't look good on a flyer), advertisements, pop up advertisements, TV shows, my computer (I use Vista) and even video games (which really annoyed me).
The fact that I see this everywhere now annoys me and sometimes I hope this would just end. I probably look like a hypocrite now, I know I am. I mean I use them ALL THE TIME. I like these graphics but I do have my limits.
And now, I would like to ask you. What do you think of Web 2.0 graphics? Do you like them? Dislike them? Annoyed with them? What are your thoughts about them?
