Is making website graphics really that easy

Creating graphics for websites or for printed work may seem like a daunting task for most people but little do they realise that it is not that difficult to create eye catching effects that will transform their website and indeed their printed work.

I use Adobe Photoshop for all my editing needs and a lot of computers these days come with it already installed and you can learn the basics within just a few minutes.

If you have never created your own grapic before then its mostly just a case of pointing and clicking your mouse and you only need to get used to the following three basic things to create good looking graphics.

1: text formatting

2: Deciding on your font

3: What Layer Style you prefer

Dont panic at this point if you haven't done any of that before as its all self explanitory. Below is an example of how easy it is to create a great looking header for any website.

1: Open up the editing software

2: Click on new page

3: write a simple line of text

4: Highlight "what a cool header" and click on font. Change the font to whatever you like.

5: Highlight text again and then click on "layers" in the photoshop menu bar, click on any layer that takes your fancy.

6: Lastly, simply resize to whatever you want.

And there you have it....a cool header for your website. There are obviously plenty of other things that can be done to further enhance your graphics such as adding multiple layers to your text to create a totally different look.

Given a bit of time and practice you will be able to create hundreds of different combinations and make your work something to be proud of.
