    Default I made sumpin' in photoshop

    I have been trying to teach myself some stuff. Here is the 2nd thing I have made. It's not all that cool, but I had fun making it. I'm ready to make another one, but I am tired

    I have tons of things that I try to do, but can't figure out. I just keep pressing buttons until something works

    Maybe someone can answer this one for me:

    How do I put guide lines to make things centered and stuff?

    go to view : view ruler : use arrow tool to drag guides off of the ruler.
    to remove them you go to veiw : clear guides


    this is all off the top of my head, so I hope I thought of it right without opening CS2
    I sound kinda like a douche

    Thanks about the guide lines. I'm gong to change the font so you can read it a little better. I just couldn't find anything as pretty

    Layers have to be rasterized before they can be manipulated.

    Damn Tracy, that's actually pretty damned good.

    You really might want to consider looking into getting a copy of Illustrator if you want to do more design oriented stuff.

    Duh.

    Guns aren't really the point. It's just something I was messing around doing while I was learning. It's not like our new logo or anything. LOL. I didn't realize it was so serious that I would have to explain myself. Maybe next time I'll use flowers instead.

    you could replace the guns with 240's at the side. Either way, not a bad design for starters.
