Hey guys i'm here to give you some tips on photoshop all this information was given to me by George, so please use it wisely.
Tips:
- You should definitely read this tutorial - https://dawnstormgraphics.files.word...enronguide.jpg
- You should read how to label your layers correctly.
- You should read what Rules of Third is.
- You should never give up, if your work isn't looking good, start over and try again.
- Getting sad over starting a new work after wasting so much time is something you shouldn't do, I sometimes work on a project for 40 minutes and afterwards erase it because something else, something better popped up on my mind and takes me less more time + effort to re-build it.
- Not every signature requires a border or a text, some people like to make them clean without any extras at the end.
== What is CnC ==
CnC stands for Critique & Criticism / Comment & Critique.
More about CnC can be found here - https://freestylersworld.com/showthread.php?24256 | https://freestylersworld.com/showthread.php?57189
NEVER take CnC to heart, if you get mad/sad over a real critique then you shouldn't be a designer in first place.
If you are not ready to handle real critiques, please leave the group right now.
== How to do it? ==
If you ever have any questions/doubts you can always ask me personally (George) & Oni/Rain or ask anyone else in the group chat.
Experience and practice is the key to success, take your time and try to pick the most basic thing which is the render.
Look around your resources and watch what you can build with them so your tag could look amazing at the end.
Whether it's smudging style, copy/pasting the render multiple times and blend it with C4D or custom stocks/resources does not matter, there are no rules!
== Resources ==
First of all, credits to all the users/companies who released their resources for learning purposes.
You can find all kind of Resources including Wallpapers, Tutorials, Photomanipulation, C4D's, Textures, Stocks, Renders, Templates & MORE!
All tabs on the left are named with the resources they provide, you can click inside the folders and browse your favorite items.
If you find anything that you really love, you can favorite it inside your account and download them on PC.
I personally always do both of them so in-case I lose my HDD, I have a back up of my resources on DeviantArt, cool huh? ^^

== Things to keep in mind ==
Don't give up if you fail first few times, it took me more than 10 retries until I create my very first basic signature/tag.
After a lot of practice & motivation to study, I can finally create anything due to the fact my imagination has improved a lot.
Being positive and accepting CnC is a huge plus.
If you need any of my .PSD files, a certain signature for instance, let me know and I will send it to you for learning purposes only of course.
