I know sometimes you all will look at some of the blends that are made and think that you are never going to be able to do anything like that. Well.. I just wanted to show you all some comparisons.



Beginning:
I seem to be unable to find the disk. I know it is out there, just don't know where... *calls for disk*. Hmm. It seems not to be listening to me.



Former:








Not So Former:












When I figured out what Overlay and the Feather Tools Were:












Recent:












Pretty much, I just want to tell you all to keep going. It is going to be hard at first, but you will get used to it. The first banners you see aren't even the first banners I made. My first first one was very bad, in case you were wondering. Although, with persistance, practice, and a little tweaking knowledge here and there, you can do it!

Sweet! That is exactly what I was hoping for. I will put the "beginning" ones up if I can find the disk. A lot of people would be encouraged then...

Except my first pieces were so terrible I can't bare to even look at them.

Keep at it and all of your work hard work and dedication will pay off.

I'm sorry, but, what happened was they were on my old computer, which, to sum up, died. What I would do is go to the "Resources" Section and there are threads there for textures and brushes.

hey ive got a question, do borders usually make your graphic look better>generally speaking?

_________________

I won't necessarily say that. I, personally, perfer borders, but I have seen many that look great without them. The added touch that borders give is the "defined area". It basically tells the person that this is your graphic, not what's outside. So, they will, typically, judge the graphic with what is inside rather than comparing it to the outside.
