How Do You Create Minisite Graphics?

by Hamida Harland Posted: 17 years ago 16 replies

I'd love to learn how to create my own minisite graphics but was wondering how you go about learning? Like is there any ebooks, video training etc available? Are they mostly created using Photoshop? In which case would photoshop tutorials show you how?

Here's a blog that offers tutorials to give you a basic idea how things are done. You will need photoshop to create the images.

Here's a site that offers Free How to videos for Minisite Graphics

There is also a book you may be able to find on ebay called Photoshop WOW. It's fairly technical but you'll tons of good info inside.

Hi Hamida,

You can produce top quality mini sites and graphics using Gimp, and the best part is
Gimp is free. There is a membership with videos tutorials for Gimp Graphics Videos
and it's only a one time fee of $17. I got in some time ago though a WSO.

This is not my membership and the url is not an affilate link.

Hope this helps

  You can use Gimp, which is free and has many features as well as being compatible with Photoshop.
  
  Download a free copy here:
  
  GIMP - Downloads
  
  As well there is an excellent collection of short video tutorials (about 10 mins each) which show how to use Gimp. These are very inexpensive and they can be downloaded to watch. You can see more details here:

  If you are a serious marketer, this is how you create killer minisite graphics:
  
  1. Send an email to Darren Kaye of Graphics Genie - Web Design | Minisites | Ecovers | Promo tools and say, "Hi Darren, I need a new minisite."
  
  2. Answer Darren's questions about what you need and what you're trying to convey.
  
  3. Work on your marketing until Darren's email arrives with your professional graphics.
  
  4. Done
  
  And you may think this is a little tongue in cheek. It is not. Don't waste time doing graphics, copy, articles or anything that can be outsourced. You're supposed to be the CEO of your own little company. Act like it.

Another tutorial site I like is: Photoshop Tutorials - PSDTUTS

Personally I feel this is probably one of the things that is easier to outsource.
