alrite here's what u goto file new canvas, make the canvas size about 350 by 120 pixels thats how big i make my tags. then open a pic u want on ur banner in internet explore copy it, goto edit paste look to the side u 'll see ur toolbar its a rectangular shape click on the magic wand and click on the pic with the magic wand then press delete. after that click maximize on the layer window and then click on the background layer goto filter render clouds and ur on ur way. just mess with filters and gradients and you should be good.

? Its a little bit different the way i do it. I first start off a new pic. Usually 400 by 100. Then i open every pic that i wanna use. I edit them first. Then i click and drag em on to the picture that im creating. And from there you can use the tutorials to create effects and different things.

dammit, ppl, don't you realize now?

gfx design isn't some kind of hobby you do for fun like playing games or somethin. it's an investment into your future. ppl get paid up to 90,000$ a year for this kind of stuff. if you wish to enter the computer industry and make something out of youself, gfx design is a good plus, otherwise there's no need to get into this kind of crap. it's just like forums, not everyone can create one! too many becomes crap.

do they have tuytorials for Paint Shop Pro and Animation Pro?

[sk8erfox805]

yeah there should be ,

prince: using photoshop at the beggining its kinda of hard cuz i didnt kno wut the tools were for, but now its kinda of easy! and im not saying that im pro or something im just saying that when u get used to it u feel confortable and the more u use it , u get more experience and i hope that someday i will be a gfx designer and im gonna work for some company and i will get a lot of money

:dreams:

but, i only have 29 days left.....

prince-i feel that once i get the hang of this stuff,i'll be really good.... :)

everyone's confident. what? you think just cause you see a lot ppl make it, you can be good at it too? not trying to bring you down here, but you need to know the risks. take lordgrobyc for example, how long has he been making gfx? how many has he made? way more than me, obviously. but has he reached a level or even become close to some of the greats? hell no. now, let's look at sol-ninjitsu. how long has he been making gfx? a little longer than grobyc, but not as many. you know, 2 months or so ago, he was a #### who didn't know anything about gfx. but look at him now, he's accelerated as a gfx artist at an amazing pace.

wanna know the difference? it's like this, there are ppl who are talented at some stuff and those who aren't. those who are can use their talents efficiently, while others can't do #### even with help. the same thing applies to gfx.

p.s. no offense to anyone mentioned in this post
