Hello,

i consider myself to have a good imagination but when i view some of the sigs in the forums, i am amazed they are cool.

How do you go about designing them, i have read the tutorials but i cant come up with ideas like you guys.

where do you all get the backgrounds from?

cheers

Well if you wanna be like everyone else, ordinarly you got to deviant art and download brushes and just play around with the colors.

read the tutorials on P2L and deviantart and many smaller graphics sites, become a member on other forums so you can get some help and so people can recommend good tutorial sites, photoshop wasn't built in a day, so take the information one at a time, i know "masters" of photoshop won't admit it but they'll find new ways of doing things and discover new functions that they never new of on photoshop, make a range of different formats of images (ex. animation, still images) because after a while you'll forget how to do things with animation or still images, and if you didn't know CTRL+z will undo, ALT+CLTR+z will take you back one step and Shift+CTRL+z will take you foreward one step, and learn the keyboard shortcuts for instance CTRL+o will open the "open" window
