Hi I'm Grapple

[Grapple]

I'm from the UK. I joined because I want to learn how to make sigs and artwork.

Seasons greetings to all.

Hi! welcome to sigbar! this is the right place to start learning :D

do you have a graphics program, like photoshop? :D

[Grapple]

I dont, any advice is welcome.

Thanks

If you can I would get Photoshop CS2 or CS3.

Many people can't, however, and if you are one of those people you might have to resort to GIMP. To get it go to gimp.org.

The GIMP is just as good as Photoshop but harder to learn. Don't make the mistake of thinking it can't make amazing images like a large majority of people do. I've seen countless pimp things come out of it.

This for example http://white-sock.deviantart.com/art/Whitesock-Design-for-T-Shirt-70045078

Thanks for your replies. Sorry I didn't reply earlier, I had access problems yesterday.

I;m living in Lancashire now but I'm from Scotland originally.
I will look into getting photoshop or gimp in the next few days and we'll see how long it takes old fumblefingers to learn

Regards all

Welcome Grapple, im from the UK too (wales)

I started out using GIMP and found it a very good start, although it is slightly harder than Photoshop, try using GIMP and at the same time, see if you can get hold of any version of PS.

If you need help dont hesitate to ask (although im sure noobie already has it covered) :D :lol:
