Featured File – Web Banner Set

I don’t know what it is about designing banners, but I suck at it. I’m almost as bad at designing banners as I am at designing logos, and I suck at doing logos. I have seen a number of banner sets for sale here on GraphicRiver, but was really impressed with this particular set by hertzz . This author has several files for sale on GraphicRiver, but this is his first banner set. It seems to be going over pretty well, as it has already sold several copies and has only been live for a day or two at the time of this writing.

Under the Radar – Titanium Series – Green Environmental Icons

I am a sucker for icons. I love them. I kind of collect them like baseball cards. If I see a cool set of icons, I have to download. I might not have a project I need them for, but if they look cool, I have to have them. The icon collection here on GraphicRiver is growing steadily. One set of icons that really caught my eye when they first appeared was the Titanium Series – Green Environmental Icons.

Check out some of the samples below to get a better idea of what I mean. The selection below however, does not do his wide variety of skills justice. To see all the different mediums and styles he is capible of, checkout his website
