I decided that for my website it would be cool to go with a subtle look, perhaps pastel colors and such. My only problem is how to create graphics that go with this theme so I was wondering if people had ideas and if they could point me to tutorials that could help in case I can't do it.

since it is a site for your own stuff, how about using your own art as your graphics.... u can use photoshop to create graphics. i think what makes a sight pleasing to the eye has something to do with the background color...try using colors that are not so bright. coz bright colors can give people a headache. the font should also be simple and it's color should blend on the background. well, this what pleasing to the eye means for me.

I'm currently making a personal website for my class. It's all about what I can create on computer as well as my drawings, paintings, and whatever else I do. My suggestion is to create your own stuff. But if you need inspiration, just go to www.deviantart.com and look under "Designs and Interfaces" and most likely your creativity bulb will go on....lol. They have tutorial as well.
