when you are doing a graphic how do you go about it? do you draw it out first or do you just go from whatever is in your head? tell us your techniques!

you just need to know all the functions of almost all the button then it's up to your self what to do!

well i just do what ever

well with me I just open program I want to use and just start making stuff keeping in mind that I have been learning how to use photoshop and other programs for serveral years now. :P

It really depends on the funtion of the graphic that i'm creating. If it's a page header, page footer, button, banner, or just for artistic release. Then I have to figure out how I want it to look, what the theme of the page will be. I usually use stock imagery because i'm not so great at freehanding (or would it be freemousing?) it. I mess around with the same image in several different ways, trying to decide on exactly what look I want, which tends to be difficult because i'm EXTREMELY indecisive.
Once I get the look I want, I incorporate it into a layout visually and if i'm satisfied, I go ahead and proceed with the fun part, coding.

like you want

i think imagine it first then start drawing main lines then the rest finally details

it really depends on what i'm doing, when i'm making a graphic, i first imagine what i want the image to look like, if there's some image and gfx that i wanna add i just prepare everything then start, but if i'm making a web template, first i draw everything i need on a white paper, then try to make it with psp

i mostly just use tutorials to make my sigs

For me, its just experimenting until I get a good one.
