This is the second installment for the article How to Create a Clean Web 2.0 Style Web Design in Photoshop. A bit of CAUTION: It is huge! I mean very long but somehow really interesting and exciting (hey, anything about the new web is exciting right?). So get some Starbucks or better yet, Coke/Pepsi and read the whole article without blinking!
