Welcome to all SSers with an interest in graphics to Madam Malkin's very own Tutorial centre! Keeping with the Madam Malkins theme, we have decided to name the thread Sewing Lessons.
The objective of this thread is to share. It is for anyone with any background or knowledge of making graphics to give tutorials, tips and certain "cheats" that will help each other as well as anyone who is interested in giving this addictive hobby a try.
It is completely voluntary, that is to say that anyone and everyone is allowed to post a tutorial here. ALSO, we welcome requests from fellow makers who wish to know how to use a function, or to create a certain effect, or simply anything to do with making graphics.
Our purpose? To make sure we're all lookin' spiffy with our snazzy graphics! lol
Rules: For requesters:
1. Do not post graphics or graphics requests here. We don't make siggies or avvies, we only teach how to make siggies or avvies.
2. Be patient. If you've asked a question, just wait until someone who knows the answer comes along and answers. We don't know everything, but hopefully the accumulated knowledge should be enough.
3. The main thing you should know is that we are here to answer questions starting with "How can I make..." and not "Where can I find...".
4. Before posting, read and make sure your question hasn't already been answered.
5. If you want to duplicate an effect you saw in a certain graphic... ask the maker of that graphic!
For tutors:
1. Try to be CLEAR with your instructions. Make it so that everyone knows what you're talking about.
2. State what program you are using.
3. Name your resources (textures, brushes, fonts, patterns, etc.).
4. Try to post your tutorials in proper English.
We are here to:
- Share tips and tricks of the trade (trade... except we're not making moolah!)
- Learn how to use graphic design programs.
- Tutor and answer.
We sure aren't here to:
- Share icons or banners.
- Share resources (like textures or brushes you may have made).
- Make requests.
- Give feedback on what you may have done.
- Advertise your own graphics thread.
After sales service (lol):
- When using a specific effect taught by someone, be sure to (if not credit) at least give some recognition to the person you learned the technique from.
- This thread is only for posting tutorial requests and tutorials. Comments should be PMed to the specific Tutor.
Yours,
Malkins Makers
