Integrating Photoshop and Illustrator with web Banners

I enjoyed the design challenges of this weeks assignment, I'll admit it wasn't easy to work within the confines of the web banner. There is a certain level of juggling going on between making an interesting composition and keeping it legible within such a small space. On the left I created the banner according to the client specifications, changing it just slightly to the book version. I used a different rock texture and guitar image. In the middle I created my own version for a new client with the same dimensions. Finaly I decided to pump up the size a bit on the last tutorial inspired  banner to gain a little extra visual effect space.
