I'm working on a music retail site. I have little design experience, so I thought of using the design of another site and putting in my own content and images. The site I'd like to model is zzounds.com. It seems pretty simple and straightforward.

My first issue of probably many is the logo. I'm using firebug to look at the HTML and CSS for the elements. The logo is div id="logo". Going through the style rules, I found this sprite the site uses for some images.

I don't understand how it's slicing up the different images though. Seems like it might be complicated to replace their images with mine. Is there a simpler way to do what I'm trying to?
 


If you like their logo so much, why don't you just sign up as their affiliate hxxps://www.zzounds.com/aff through CJ and start creating your "landing page" style website that directs traffic and sales to them? You could probably use their logo without having to steal it or fake it.

I don't know about you, but I can't wait for my referral to drop three grand so I can make $180. Woot!
 
Just for piece of mind, right click their logo on the site and click inspect element. The "#link a" element will be shown in firebug and it will list the background-position of that CSS Sprite that they use. Just below that is the background: url()... for all of the CSS elements that are using that Sprite sheet. Look up CSS Sprites on the Googs to learn how they work.

Time to fire up Photoshop...
