I am starting at making Signatures and I wanted to know whats the best way or a good way to get started and what tools I might need to get started. Its because I play alot of MMOs type games and My Clan or Guild usually asks people to make signatures and I wat to lear how to make them so I can make the signatures for them.

Please, Don't double post. If it seems like I am being hard on you, don't worry. I just want to implant the rules in your head Photoshop CS2 is the best program available for creating digital images. You will go far with it.

Well, Photoshop CS2 is awsome for making signatures and any other graphics for your site or any forum. You will want to read a few tutorials and get to know the controls. Also, remember there are more options for the tools when you right click on them (Those are 2 things XD told me when I started less than a month ago. ) A great site to find tutorials is www.solidsnakedesigns.com/And another is socal.proboards26.comAlso, if your doing signatures, you will definately want to look into downloading cool brush sets. Some of the best brush sets (Including the infamous "Grunge" sets) can be found at www.deviantart.com/ by searching for something like "Photoshop brushes" or "CS2 Brushes" I hope this helps you in becoming an A Class Graphics designer

Good luck Oh, there are 3 good ways of practicing I've learned: 1) Follow tutorials, then follow it again the next day. (Helps with remembering) 2) Battle! Even if you lose, battling helps you learn. 3) Make premades. You can make simple premades or harder ones. This is what I do when I'm bored

Tutorials all the way. Go to a site like Gamerenders.com and try out their many tutorials. After you can make some kickass sig then you should mix all those skills you've learned and make your own style.

Brushing isn't everything. You should use it with other techniques. Brushing alone is boring. Try tutorials Good Tutorials - Pixel2Life and experiment. That's how I learnt.
