Creating simple graphics for you website
April 27, 2008
Creating graphics for your website or for any printed work seems like a daunting task for the novice graphic designer but its not as difficult as it first looks and with a little practice you can create stunning graphics with just a few clicks of your mouse.
I use Adobe for all my editing needs and a lot of computers these days come with it already installed and you can learn the basics within just a few minutes.
If you have never created your own grapic before then its mostly just a case of pointing and clicking your mouse and you only need to get used to the following three basic things to create good looking graphics.
1: Formatting
2: Deciding on your font
3: What Layer Style you want
Dont panic at this point if you haven’t done any of that before as its all self explanitory. Below is an example of how easy it is to create a great looking header for any website.
1: Locate adobe editor on your computer
2: Click on new page
3: write a line of text {anything will do}
4: Highlight text and go to fonts and choose one that you like. Your original text should now have changed to the chosen font.
5: click on “layers” in the menu bar and choose something that you like.
6: Highlight text {last time now} and then simply resize to what you want.
And there you have it….a cool header for your website. There are obviously plenty of other things that can be done to further enhance your graphics such as adding multiple layers to your text to create a totally different look.
As you can see there are no complicated skills involved and over time you will be able to create any number of killer graphics for your website.
