Anyone know any good websites for help on making Web 2.0 graphics?

That's just a little reflective logo creator kinda thing.

www.pixel2life.com/ has a wide selection of tutorials for making web graphics.

No such thing as web 2.0 graphics to be honest. Photoshop for still images, Flash for animations, and After Effects for movies. It all depends on how you use the graphics.

For example:

<test>
<name>Test Stuff</name>
<graphic>../images/test.png</graphic>
<desc>This is a test image</desc>
</test>

<test>
<name>Test2</test>
<graphic>../images/graphic2.png</graphic>
<desc>Another test</desc>
</test>

The calls are fairly simple, put a placeholder image in the document, then link the placeholder to the <graphic>. More or less. Once an item is selected, the graphic will change.

edit: of course, you can do javascript effects, server-side effects, or whatever, but that just adds load times on the website, and uses more processor power for the server.

2.0 graphics are just a term that refers to the sleek new looking style of graphics that are found recently on webpages. The way of placing images is the same no matter what kind of image

Honestly, there are tons of tutorials out there, you just need a search engine with a at least a free graphic editor software and mix them together to get a nice creation.

Well, in that case

Depending on what I want to do, for "flashy" graphics I'll use a mix of:

Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash (for animation), and, believe it or not, After-Effects for some other interesting stuffs. Mainly though, just photoshop and flash.
