    Are there any effects you always use (or recycle) when creating something for your website?

    I used to really like how the reflection and gloss effects looked on text. Similar to this:

    Combined with some 3D effect (which is as easy as doubling the layer and moving it a bit), you could get a really nice outcome.

    I don't think there is really anything that I "recycle" per-say as each project I do, I try to make it all unique.

    Typically I tend to use a bit too much of shadow on my graphics :D I remember been shouted at before when everything I did contained a shadow on the text.

    I think I could benefit from some time at DropShadows Anonymous. ("Hello, my name is....")

    Who doesn't love a drop shadow?

    I use the CSS3 gradients quite often even when I am not supposed to...

    I usually always use gradients, and a lot of transparency whenever I design graphics in Photoshop. I love the way gradients look when they're used properly.
