Introduction to the course:

This course seeks to teach, and tutor the minds of those who take it, so that they might be able to make their own masterpieces. It will progress in several step, listed in order as follows:

  · Terminology
  · Basic Artistic concepts
  · Different image design
  · A look at Photoshop as a graphics tool
  · A look at Paintshop Pro as a graphics tool
  · A basic tutorial in Photoshop to create a button (Needed for test)

So, follow this course, and open your mind. Please note that Photoshop or Paintshop Pro are not required, but are recommended (The author has a very strong leaning towards Photoshop). Of course, there are other tools which could be used to create images, such as Fireworks, or 3DSMax. These arent covered because they are either not widely known, or used in the Emperor's Hammer, or the author has little knowledge in most of them (Or the author hates them, and doesnt want to spoil his lunch, nor the readers' for that matter)
