How to create great looking graphics for your website

by Roy Cuddihy

Creating graphics for websites or for printed work may seem like a daunting task for most people but little do they realise that it is not that difficult to create eye catching effects that will transform their website and indeed their printed work.

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.

There are just three things to get used to using to enable you to create great looking graphics and the are as follows.

1: Formatting

2: Fonts

3: What Layer Style you prefer

I am now going to show you how to create a cool looking header for your website.

1: Locate adobe editor on your computer

2: Click on "New" at the top left hand corner

3: write "what a cool header"

4: Highlight "what a cool header" and click on font. Change the font to whatever you like.

5: click on "layers" in the menu bar and choose something that you like.

6: Lastly, resize to whatever you want..

How easy was that? there is obviously a lot more that can be done to further enhance your work like adding more layers to your text giving even more different combinations.

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.
