Well, not only hints. But since I've been working with the p-shop for a while, and I want to improve myself...is there anybody else here, who thinks think they are goo? If so, I was wondering how can I make a nice frame for avatar or a banner... Say, something stone, or metal...frame.

could i get photoshop for mac?

I can tell you from the years of experience I have that framework (i.e. interfaces) are very difficult to do if you want it to look good.



www.phoenixium.com check out this site for an example of a painterly metal style (which I think looks the best)

this is done through a simple two color high contrast scheme and two highlights (a direct light gleam and a secondary light gleam)

if you understood that, the frame is cake
