pixel design

Lately, I'm seeing a lot of websites that consist of pixel-design... You know those little nifty dots, and stripes that look so good...

Maybe somebody could post a few helpful tips on this subject? someone who actually designed such a website perhaps?

Any help, tips, are welcome..

Well, I've done http://www.lookouts.com. Which is pixelated. Also http://www.paradiseranch.org. Which isn't as nice, but it's still pixelated. And the only tip I can give you is to use the 1 pixel pen tool, and start filling in the dots. Also, if you are planning on making an animation, put everything you are going to be moving on a seperate layer. And try to limit your colors. Use as little different colors as you can. It takes FOREVER to do, because of doing it a dot at a time, but it's a lot of fun when you get done.

Are you talking about something like this http://icubed.com/~scooter/black_dots.gif

If so i used the font Silkscreen with different sizes like 8, 14, and no anti-alias. Hope this helps.
