Most computers these days already have editing software pre installed and Adobe Photoshop is amoungst the most popular and widely used and has great tools installed to make creating your own graphics a breeze.

There are just three things to get used to using to enable you to create great looking graphics and the are as follows.

1: Formatting

2: Fonts

3: What Layer Style you want

Dont worry yourself at this point if you have never used any of the above before as it is quite simple. Here is an example of how to easily create a great looking header for any website.

1: Open up the editing software

2: Click on “New” at the top left hand corner

3: write “what a cool header”

4: Highlight “what a cool header” and click on font. Change the font to whatever you like.

5: Highlight text again and then click on “layers” in the photoshop menu bar, click on any layer that takes your fancy.
