Ok Guys,Let's get started =)
Section Nr.1 :What is GFX?
Well,gfx is an abbrevation,its meaning is graphic.We mean under graphic,that you make (or get)graphic works such as Signatures,Avatars,Banners,Wallpapers.These graphics until all of them a part on a talent,but rather this only partial,all rather what is the most essential one that's it what we call so:Experience.as you practise increasingly more and more,automatically obviously your competence, your taste stain so,and your knowledge to increase.with a word as I said it beforehand,his most important constructor element for the graphics the experience.your experience exclusively on the hints,and on trials and then you obtain it as a cross on the time.and then it is not allowed to forget that you will never be growing if you give it up!

How to gfx?:
You will need a :
-GFX Program(Gimp,Photoshop,Paint Shop Pro etc.)
-Knowledge(As i wrote it before)
-Fun(If you do not enjoy it stop what you do then!It does not make sense so to continue!)
-Tutorials(I will detail this later!)
-And finally the last one,that it is never allowed to forget about it,that we may not be good without practice.
3,GFX Programs:

Well,as I mentioned this before already,very many kinds a program stands for our provision.now some the from among a lot I stain to list.
GIMP aka GNU Manipulation Program.

Well,the gimp than program exceptionally multi-faceted and single.It has exceptionally many options.is able to forge the pictures,we can add special effects to our picture with its help.I add ones leading to him to the picture making now,and I tell it to you where you can download it gratis.
To download gimp,please click to the following link:Click to download Gimp.
Photoshop:
Exceptionally many of his versions known.I list the best-known ones now:CS2.CS3,CS4,I am not CS6(in this in the latter one sure.separate I'm sorry.)
This program a level edge is blessed with exceptionally many abilities.first,some people say it,that exceptionally easy treat (that it is said,that easier than the gimp).
Secondly,very many of his options yes.
thirdly:right works with a quality than the gimp(according to single ones.since I am not photoshop using,I'm sorry,maybe,how I am out.)
To download photoshop,please click to the following link:adobe.com

Avatars,
What is an avatar;
An avatar is an little picture what you made or you got from a request and you use that pic for your basic profile picture.

That is clear,but how can I make one:
Well,the simplest answer is that you have to visit some gfx sites like deviantart.com or photobucket for tutorials.
But usually I make an avatar in this way:
1)Get your base
2)Resize,and sharpen if needed.
3)Add some color layers which fit with the render + with the BG
4)add some lightning
5)Check the Contrast .Make that higher if needed.(that is also for the color)
6)You are done.Just make it to JPG. format and upload that on tinypic.com.

Wow, thank you... I have been looking for Photoshop tutorials everywhere.
Me and my bro have decided to create a clan. Of course we know that there is more to it then just clicking a button and selecting a name. Since I'm the only one who has any chance of ever becoming a decent GFX-er, these will really be useful to prepare the clan site and board topics before we start recruiting. :amused

Again thanks.. :blink
