This is an example of a real animated .GIF web banner that I produced for a musicians web site. I remastered the logo by using the pen tool to seperate different parts of it onto different layers and then used the paint bucket tool to the fill coulours. The background was a simple, fairly plain gradient fill as not to distract from the other graphic content as well as to aid with composition.

 

This is another example of digitally created advertisement that was produced for another musician that he used to publicise himself, and it was a success! the resoloution was 350dpi as to garuntee very high print quality. They were produced as business cards. there are multiple layer effects, filter effects and the use of custom brushes too.
