Overview

Wines That Rock was looking for ideas for incentive prizes to be awarded to the top wine distributor - and what could be more fitting than a custom painted Stratocaster? This was first for me, and I loved every minute of it. Using a high resolution image of a Stratocaster as a template, I created the graphics in Adobe Illustrator and exported to Photoshop to add the realistic modeling of the shadows and highlights.

Colophon

This site was created and hand built by me, on my Mac Pro running both OSX 10.4.1.1 and Windows XP, using Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, DreamWeaver and good old BBEdit. jQuery drives the tooltips and image animation, and of course, fonts courtesy of Cufon. Thank you Simo Kinnunen. The site is optimized to work quite well on Firefox, Opera and all IE's except for version 6.
