Hay!

I am trying to pixel an oldschool Amiga-style header
for my webpage. I can't find any good examples or guides
on how to do this. Does anyone here have any good references/tutorials or examples?

Here are some typical oldschool Amiga demos...

Amiga styled text isn't all that hard to do. Just make a normal font. And slap on a gradient.

edit:

But I'll look around and see if I can dig up any tuts.

edit the second:

As promised.



It's not a tutorial per se, but you get the point. Like I said, slap on a gradient on that and viola.

Thank you! I was looking for something with a bit more
character, but it's a good start. I'll try to draw something on paper and see if I can make it look cool in pixels... I would like some good-looking examples though. I'm sure I'll find something with a bit more time on google..
