What programs are used for making really cool graphics for your websites, something that could look like a blizzard website or even for an online store stuff.
 
i would imagine Photoshop, Fireworks or Paint Shop Pro :D

not easy though
 
Maybe look at using a portal system like Joomla, there are TONS of free templates already made out there.
 
or, check out www.freecsstemplates.com

yeah, you guessed it, they give you free CSS based templates :p not bad at all really.

fast, lightweight, and customizable. see what they have and use the ideas
 
Yeah... the graphics applications are pretty varied. Photoshop is great for design but some folks do prefer Fireworks.

But like people said, it's tough :D Just software doesn't make it easy :D
 
Where can i get adobe photoshop for free anyone?
Im upgrading my webste and that jasc paint shop that i was using is difficult to use:(

I mainly want to make banners for my site.
Thanks

I'm used to Jasc PSP, I use version 7 - because newer isn't always better!

If PSP was too difficult, don't even attempt to use Photoshop.

PSP is much easier than PS, and it's not always about the software, it's about what you can do in a package!

oh...okay...It's just that i found more tutorial stuff on photoshop i just assumed it's easier.
I'm just not good with these programs.
How much would somebody charge me to make 10 banners?:)
 
Most designers use a mix of Illustrator + Photoshop.
 
So it looks like photoshop so far is the all round program to do things? Cause everone knows it sucks to move from one program to another just to get something done. photshop seems abit tricky for me sometimes, i need something that i can catch on to quickly just for starters, then move on to the bigger programs. I made a signature in photshop wich looks really cool. but i used a tutorial to do the whole thing and forgot everything i did to get it done.

CASHMONEY, is that the website you got help with from people in the forums from? Cause its very good, well done man. congrats. Please let me know what software you used and the tutorials u put urself on, so i can keep them oneside for when i do my website. thanks man

Yip these guys helped me alot with their expert advice. I'm really not an IT/computer guy so i could not have done it without them.

I used joomla 1.5 and didn't use any tutorials for joomla. The tutorials i studied were the basic html ones on that w3school website. Best to do the basics first before jumping into joomla.

Just want to give a big thank you to AntiThesis for designing my new banners. They look amazing:D:D:D:D:):):):)
 
How do you get this joomla to work, i downloaded v1.5, something and now i cant use it
How do i get it to install or something
