Photoshop Tutorial

Today I wrapped up my Photoshop tutorial from the Talk Mania site.  Going through about 200 Lynda videos and half of a Photoshop Down and Dirty Tricks book, I have really sharpened my skills.  My project was to take one of there designs and duplicate it.  I picked a kind of challenging one to make myself that much sharper when I was finished.  I am getting really good at utilizing layer panels and making everything extremely organized.  Going through their design was tough at times trying to find the right brushes and matching their design exactly was also challenging.  So I guess you could say that I took their design and made some of it my own.

The Down and Dirty Tricks book has been a life saver with any questions that I had.  It is a lot more hands on and makes you really do it on  your own giving you tips on the way.  So when I was working on this project I was remembering all my short cuts, and when I ran into a problem it was easy to remember what to do.  If I had known that I was going to have to slice this up and make a website out of it I may have picked a little easier design.  So I guess I am not only going to make my Photoshop skills better I am also going to make my CSS skills better.  I am always looking at the bright side of things!  So here is the finished product. Hope everyone likes it and I am looking forward to some feed back!
