• Photoshop PHanatic!

    My Photoshop CS3 program has been keeping me plenty busy lately. In addition to the usual photo editing features that I’ve been toying with, I’ve been busy creating cool and fun banner ads, button ads, and various other graphic junk. Some of my favorite tutes come from here, here, and…
