Art typically isn't my thing but I like doing simplistic stuff using fairly basic function in Photoshop, and I just got my hands on CS2, so heres some random stuff I whipped up. This was a product of terrance changing his AIM icon and me realizing that I could screw around with CS2 and make my own. Same as the first one, just a little more complex this time as far as making it went. Trying to use the same general idea as the second one except bigger, thinking about it more it'd probably look better if I used the same kind of shapes as #2 instead of just lines. Bigger version of the third one because its rather small, dunno which I think looks better.

As for your pics, I like 'em, but there's a bit too much empty space for my taste.

I like these a lot. How'ed you make the geometric lines? I can tell the boxes are a selection w/ stroke and then a filter applied inside, but the rest is straighter than you get with a pen/paintbrush tool.

actually thats not what the boxes are, basically what I did was make the image originally several times larger than it ended up, then saved the large version, made it smaller, and then took selections of the larger version, used the stroke bit like you said, copied and pasted it onto the smaller version and that was it.
for the polygons, theres a tool called "Polygon Tool" which is towards the bottom of the little toolbar thingy, and on the default options it just fills your selection with whatever color you chose but it has an option called style in which you can choose one style that just strokes whatever you select with it, and you can also choose the number of sides so I just made random polygons that were mostly off screen
the polygon bit was only in the first two mind you, the other two were just the pencil tool I think

Uhm... am I missing something? No offense but I think I must not be able to load them cuz they look like crap on this end... unless everyone suddenly went for contemporary art...

I honestly don't know, though I'd bet you're loading them properly and all that because error stuff is pretty obviously error stuff

They are very abstract, but they ae still very effective. Some color wouldn't hurt (even just changing the black to something) but they have my interest.

actually changing the color is something I can't figure out.
because technically the color is the same as a stroke, just changing the actual option for color does not change the color or the borders, and its an automatic stroke so theres no seperate option for that. if you can figure out how, please tell me, because I didn't really want these to be black when I first thought it up.

To change the line color, flatten the image and then create a layer in 'screen' mode and just color over it. To change the background color, use 'multiply.'
