Occasionally, we get a design job from a space alien or even from an insect.  For example, when I answered the door the other day, it was a spider.  He showed me a photo and asked me to create a spider web so that he could impress his female counterpart.  Anyway, I took a job with no reward because I was bored.  So, as usual, I launched Adobe Photoshop on my iMac.  And, in a matter of 6 minutes or so, I created a spider web for him.<\/p>\n<p>The following tutorial shows steps to design a spider web, using Adobe Photoshop CS2.
