avatars

ok i always see ppl in forums with these kick ass banners at the bottom. HOW DO U CREATE THESE GAH.

With programs like Photoshop, GIMP, Paint.net, Paintshop Pro....things like that. I personally use GIMP. Photoshop is expensive if you buy it. But if your willing to torrent, then so be it.EDIT: Also the things at the bottom of people's post are called signatures. The one that goes under your name to the left is your avatar.

i c i c. but that doesnt tell me how to do it. but ill tinker with my programs right eventually

Tinkering I find is the best way to learn. Or check youtube.com for tutorials. That helped me as well.

thanks for the advie i appreciate it ^^

Most of the time, youtube is not a good source for tuts.http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorials/photoshopTry that, it has a cool bunch of tutorials for PS.
