made the c4d with tons of blending, but i agree very simple
@Krakah: just mess around with square brushes + pencil
the pencil tool, is the best tool in all of adobe (in my opinion)
you can make great vectoerish brushes with it, as to making templates, its very simple, just make a whole website (Width=600-700px; Height=800-1250px) slicing is simple, just cut it in places like the header, nav menu, content, expandable boxes, etc..
for an idea, look at clantemplates.com grab up a template n look at 'index.html' and just mess with your code to look like a modified version of that, or just bust out notepad and code it yourself (what i do)
Can you guys see it???
