Important Tips, a must know for Graphics Designer Important Tips, a must know for GFX. I'm going to be giving beginners a few helpfull tips to start them off, these may or may not help you (hopefully they will =P). Tutorials:Tutorials are a good source of help, find them, read them and follow up on them. They come in various different skill levels so they can suit both advanced and beginners. Reading tutorials can be a very good way to start off. Remember not to copy a tutorial exact (same render, colours as such), many people have done this and have been accused of ripping for getting the signatures almost exact when it isn't technically ripped. For a good set of tutorials to begin with, look through this section. Borders: Some signatures do look good without a border but using borders makes the image more presentable. It's a trial and error thing really. Using a Cinematic border has a better outcome but again, it's user based (trial and error).
