My Contributions	Now, you guys should know by now that graphics isn't my main focus~ But I still like to dabble in Photoshop. I just took a shot at making a glass button, and this is what I came up with: Feedback? Thanks

Another thing that you may want to think about is adding a shadow between the normal and the reflection. Overall it is a great work and I love how you decided to make the metal around the button. Have fun!

My Contributions	Thanks I wasn't actually sure of the envelope icon~ I'll take that 2.0 stuff into consideration on my next design, thanks capty As for the deployment, it's kind of a yes and no. I'm putting stuff together as a portfolio. It's not actually for a job, but I'll be putting it together to show my abilities.

I have to agree, but very snazzy none-the-less.
