I want to learn how to manipulate graphics and design logos, and I’m starting almost from scratch in terms of knowledge.
I’ve heard that Adobe Photoshop is a good program for this.
Does anyone know of any good resources on the web for webmasters like me who want to learn how to do this?
Hi Randy!
The web is full of photoshop tutorials just look at these results:
http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=photoshop+tutorial
Then again I have not used many tutorials as I have just banged my head agains the wall until I got it
, but if you´r fond of reading I think there´s a lot of free info around. One way that I found to be helpful was to get photoshop templates and then see how they were done.I hope this helps,
Cheers – Mika
The cut down more user friendly version of photoshop would be a better start (WTF is it called…eludes me). There are so many features in the pro version that you will never use (believe me, I have been using it for 5 years and about 80% of the proggie is still semi mystery).
There is nothing you cannot do with it and it is a bit like poker, a few mins to learn and a lifetime to master.
Thanks guys. I’d thought about doing a google search on it, but couldn’t come up with a decent phrase to search for.
I think I’ll try to go pick up the stripped down version of the program on my way home today.
I remember….photoshop elements adobe offer a free 30 day trial I think so have a play first.
Randy! What will I do if you learn how to do it LOL!!
For those of you not willing to learn and would rather someone else just do it, I would love to help and offer my services. I have done some recent work for Randy who can share with you what I did if you would like to see, or my sights feature almost all my own graphics, logos, and banners which you can get the link in my signature!
Matt’s graphics work for me has been excellent!!!
I work with Macromedia Fireworks. Excellent program
That’s what I primarily use but it lacks the effects that other more user friendly programs offer so I have Ace Photo as my backup for special cool little effects!
Im a big fan for Adobe Imageready (web version of photoshop) does a good job optimizing grpahics sizes… (File sizes)
Just took on 2 more peoples projects for logos and templates !! Yay!! Thanks to Randy for inspriing me to use my talents for more then just myself and his stuff too LOL
With any luck, you’ll start spending more time working and less time putting money in those one-armed bandits online. LOL
j/k Matty!

Sorta the reason I quit web design.
My all out masterpiece and most fun job was for a millionaires escort agency. (Photoshop, flash, fireworks and dreamweaver all got a major workout to the limits of my ability) that was online for all of a week before the proprietor’s boyfriend said marry me but quit this business.
I got paid, but only about 20 people ever saw my Mona Lisa of the web world.
Fuckit. Make more money doing generic portals anyway. BUT, the artistic itch is always there. Will do a DARING portal one day!
Id stick to generic too if it wasnt for my addictive overlyperfectionist OCD that engulps me while im coding and designing LOL
