I wasent sure to post this here, or in either the web design section or tutorial request board but it seems to fit in here better.

I normally like to design simple web templates, like portfolios or simple business templates but i am looking to extend a bit and try my hand at more complex designs, hi-tech type templates.
My only problem is that i am not very familiar with designing things like that.

Here is some examples of what i mean:
Example 1 : This is a whole gallery that displays the type of designs im talking about.

Example 2
Example 3
Example 4

So do any of you know of some tutorials that show how to design templates like this, or any tutorials that show how to create different elements of the design? Using Photoshop.

Thanks.

ooo... Them designs are bringin me back lol, Mad old school style yo.

Like the previous said, Gotta be efficient with the pen tool, and know how to brush lighting effects fairly good (and i dont mean a huge soft brush on the top left of a round "orb")

understanding how light hits objects and perspective will make or break your ability to do them designs good. (just my opinion :P )

Thankyou for all of your help.
Creative Insanity, I checked out Eyeball Design, and it is perfect, teaches you to do a lot of those type of techniques.

Diaz, Cosmo has posted 3 on the dream art forums (video tutorials) that teach a few things, so thats good.

Satanic Penguins, I am fairly good with the pen tool so i should be able to accomplish some stuff although my lighting techniques aren't exactly good, lol, but ill work on them.

Thanks.
