became A.D.D again

got back from my little showcase @ boombox (devonwho, snowman, proh mic kiltit) and dropping off baked goods at the "master overseer" adam's crib. i'm sick and i should be asleep.. or at least workin on music, but no.. i changed the layout for my site and my logo again.


QUESTION
anyone good at making things look clean on photoshop? the lines on my logo bleeds.. i'm not really a big graphic design pro and i have no idea how to use illustrator.

anyone good at css? how do i make my logo link back to the homepage?

i'm kind of a jack of all trades, but a master of none. i know enough to get by, but not really enough to be considered skilled, by any means. maybe this is a good thing. if all i did all day was make beats, design, draw, and bake--when would i have time to drink, hang out with my friends, and go shopping? balance, it's all a balance... or a short attention span.

EDIT:
Thanks to Dennis and Supplice!!! Your help is very much appreciated and is already in use :)



btw
did you guys peep my cupcake on twitter?

"Zucchini Brownie with Cocoa Cream Cheese Frosting w. Toasted Pecans"
(you don't taste the zucchini, it's a moisture content thing)




















I haven't made my green tea muffins for a while, maybe I'll make that next time.

hey there!

try this for linking your logo... they won't let me post html code here, so i got a bit creative with the spacing of the tags...

in your code somwhere near your header... right underneath the iframe you have this:
< div >< / div >

rewrite this to:
< div style="position:relative; z-index:999; width:770px; margin:0 auto; background:#00FF00;" >
< a href="http://www.tokimonsta.com" style="display:block; height:300px; width:770px; position:absolute; top:40px; left:0px;" >< / a >
< / div >

it's a bit of an awkward solution, but since the logo is a background image in your template, you can't really make it a link itself. in the solution above, you merely put a transparent link above the logo :)

Let me know if you have problems with this one and I'll have another look. xx

I can probably redo your logo for you on illustrator and make it high res. If you need help with anything or have any questions about graphics gimme a e-mail at VyllentStyleZ@gmail.com;

I usually help everyone out for free cuz I have a problem with charity.
Photoshop no matter what will make your lines look jagged unless you make the image in high res at 300 dpi and save it as a .png to preserve quality. Also png's preserve transparency so you can lay it over your backgrounds.

Dunno what you already know and how you handle your website. But lemme know if you need help, im deco at css but i can usually figure that stuff out easily

Also, that Brainfeeders sessions gonna be sick. Righteous Fists of Harmony is gonna be dope no doubt, love Daedelus.

Just firebugged the page, your logos a background; either lay it on top (people can right click save logos w/e then) or make a hover link with dimensions to lay on top of the picture so its a "invisible" link

Will have a mockup of the logo in a min cuz i got shit else to do
