Any bored photoshoppers want to do me a quick favour? Didnt think so :(

Hi everyone,

Im doing a bit of work on my site and no matter how hard i try i am no good at designing little images that i can use to represent various topics my site will be based on. I have been trying for the past couple of hours to come up with something i can use for my "News" topic that is 65x65pixels in size, relates to News, and does'nt look like complete rubbish!

My best attempt so far is a little newspaper with "News" at the bottom - but its all jaggedy at the edges because its edges are transparent and it just looks like i have stolen some clipart from MS...

Any photoshoppers out there that can whack me up something that is'nt a complete disaster?!

Thanks in advance

Disaster! Is there no kind person that will do me an image?

Colours, style?

Considering this is my best effort:

Anything better would be greatly appreciated...

The site is here , anything that fit with the dark grey/green theme would be good. Thanks for any help you can give...

don't use gif with transparency, you'll always get jaggies.

decide on your background colour and use a jpeg.

Any good?

Or use PNG. You can get fixes to get PNG's to work in IE.

Any good?

Thanks for that mate, not too shabby - will stick it up and mention your name in a thankyou page when i sort the rest of the site out...if anyone else has anything id appreciate it - non-transparent is fair enough, the background colour i have chosen is in use on the site.

No worries, happy to help out

Nothing wrong with transparency. If using photoshop just set the Matte colour to the desired background colour. Blends it nicely.
