Did you ever wonder how people make some of those
cool looking pictures and logos that you see on the Internet? It's easier than you may think. You can do it too, if you have more than just a basic paint program and also have some time on your hands. Let me take you on a simplistic journey into making an amateur logo. I use Paint Shop Pro version 9. In my opinion, it's the single best digital art and photo program I have encountered and it can easily be learned by average folks like me.
The logo in the attached
gallery and tutorial took me just under an hour to make. The tips and screen shots should help make this an easy project for you. Much, if not all of what I describe can be done on many different paint programs. I have been using digital image editing software for many years and
Paint Shop Pro is the best I have gotten my hands on thus far.
Take a look at the tutorial and please feel free to ask any questions using our comment section. Enjoy!

You should look into GiMP. (GiMP.Org)
ReplyIt's an open source image editor/creator. You can use vector based shapes as well as the raster based image you used in Paint Shop Pro.
As a professional graphic designer I spend all day in Adobe's Creative Suite (Photoshop, Indesign and Illustrator mostly) but for the layman GiMP is more than enough and you can't beat the price.
If you want some help learning try tutorial sites, like Tutorialized.com.
