Beginners Advice From a Beginner

  • There are a few things I think you will need to know if you,like myself, want to start designing, wether it be for extra money or just a hobby. The first things are getting the right software and resources.
----------------------------------------------------------
  • Adobe Photoshop CS2 9.0 is the key to start designing as it has all the nessesary tools and functions to get you on the right track. You can download the trial here - www.adobe.com.
----------------------------------------------------------
  • So when the installation is complete I guess unless you have a sole desire to do designing you will have no inspiration or knowledge where to start off. So this is where the advice starts:
  • WWW.DEVIANTART.COM - AdobephotoShop Brushes
  • WWW.PIXEL2LIFE.COM - Adobe Tutorials and Good Inspiration shit.
  • WWW.GOOGLE.COM - Stuck? Google it.
  • WWW.SXU.HU - Find good royalty free pictures to mess around with on photoshop.
  • When i started designing i wanted to go for a real big explosive design but then i realised, half of the explosive design came into another part of the webdesign..Coding.
  • So firstly I started doing simple square websites with columns and then using the resoure link WWW.DEVIANTART.COM I downloaded a few brushes and started messing around.
Well I hope thats cleared some stuff up..

beN!-
