first of all this guide i've made was origanally for another site to help some members out so i thought i would post it here, so you know why its kinda wierd lol. ( took about 3.5-4hours to make)
==========================
first off, heres a list of usefull GFx sites! that could come in handy when making sigs or other computer graphics.
==========================
Ok, so here are some great things that I have found useful.
1. Photoshop. - THEE best gfx editing and creating software available. Free 30 day trial of CS3 Extended, though you will have to make a simple acc, its worth it, guaranteed safe and you can download other things such as Flash, dream weaver, and other adobe products. Available here:
http://www.adobe.com/products/photos...oshopextended/1.5)FIREWORKS- another good program for grpahics made by adobe is fireworks. It IS GREAT, but it is not as easy to learn as photoshop, if you dont have any idea or experience on how to use it, then photoshop works good too, i have made some very nice graphics with this, like photoshop there is a free 30 day trial. Available here:
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/i...duct=fireworks2. DeviantArt - Amazing Gfx resource site, gallary, tutorials and community. Use the search bar, and find some amazing resources or Gfx that people have made. Every download is safe.
http://www.deviantart.com/ 3. SolidSnakeDesigns - Used to be an amazing community before they got hacked, now the place is extinct, but the website still has many good resources.
http://solidsnakedesigns.com/4. PhotoBucket - Amazing photo Hosting, unlimited, free, you can create an account, so you can view them later, so you never have to lose the address to your Gfx, or your entire Gfx. You can upload up to 30 Gfx at a time to.
http://photobucket.com/5. Youtube - Ya, you read that right, youtube. You can actually find some great Gfx tutorials off of youtube, by typing in in Gfx tutorials, graphics tutorials, or photoshop tutorials. Video, so you can see EXACTLY how they do it.
