So I ant to start a new shop again. But the thing is, I barely know anything about gfx, except a few things. I hear so many terms, like cnc, c4-something, watermark, layers, etc. What the heck do those even mean
So a number if things
1. What program would be good for a beginner
2. If someone could define those terms, that would be nice
3. Is there a free, good website where I could learn gfx
4. Should I even start a gfx shop?
Thanks a lot
1) Photoshop CS2Quote:

fractal = sort of like lighting effects
cnc = Comments and criticism
tag = signature
Smudge = a style of tagging by smudging
gia = a style of tagging using techie anime renders.
vector = a style of tagging using bright flashy colours
grunge = a style of tagging using dark themed colours
liquifying = A style of tagging using the liquify tool
Flow = the direction your eye moves in a piece
Rule of thirds = a grid used to determine the focal
Theres a lot more but I can't be bothered to explain
3) Im not recommending a particular gfx site because you'll be hated when you say " im from sc"
so, siglabs or tagfreaks for you
4) A practice to begin with.
Wow-thanks a lot!Quote:

They hate people from here because some of us(Not sayin names) are REALLY annoying and cause unnecessary drama.
BTW i forgot depth
Depth = how 3d your tag looks. You can do this by: shadows, lighting, c4ds, blurring and sharpening.
Keep it up in GFX termsQuote:

Oh yeah doesn't photoshop cost money though? I can't spend money unfortunately
Don't join tagfreaks yet. You'll get torn apart.
I use photoshop cc, but cs2 is free.Quote:

Just google tuts. Idk too many sites thatll hold your hand to learn the absolute basics of huge program you use. "Photoshop beginners tutorials" google that and learn how to use the program. Then look uo GFX tuts. Some will explain the little things (like how to use or where tools are) but some might so just keep looking at em.
Grunge style art:
1) Take hammer
2) Smash PC
3) Repeat 1/2 set layer to soft light
now you have a grunge PC.
