Title: Little Zane Is Learning
Post by: Zane on October 07, 2007, 05:02:11 AM
I've been trying my best at graphics for a while, but only recently got photoshop. ;) I'll be posting some of my accomplishments, and some of my horrible attempts in this thread. Feel free to comment, and enjoy!

This (http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e228/zane900/vista.png) was my absolute first graphic I made in photoshop. Scipio of www.urbsurbis.com taught me how to create a vista button.

Soon after I tried my luck (http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e228/zane900/tppplus.jpg) with an avatar size icon which I might end up using on TPP 4.0. At that point I still didn't know anything about image quality; ignore the fuzz. :thumbsup:

This (http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e228/zane900/tpp40.jpg) is probably my best work yet. I made it just the day before yesterday. I plan to put it up as a teaser image on the homepage of my site while we continue working on it.

This (http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e228/zane900/motmtpp.jpg) is just a little 5 minute work which I cooked up for some future award ceremonies. Who knows if I'll ever use it? :D

My attempt (http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e228/zane900/glossy.jpg) at a glossy icon. I actually like this one quite a bit. ;D

Laughter is an instant vacation, let's see you guys prove it. :P Comments, suggests, criticism, and appreciative comments are all welcome!

I made that today. ()stsfd() I'm still just a beginner, but that doesn't make photoshopping less fun! :)

I gave that a try. No luck. I tried all sorts of settings, but none really seemed to suit the picture.
