5 Hour Time-Line...

Hour 1:
Installed Photoshop, activated Keygen and now own CS5.
Messed around with program.

Hour 2:
Couldn't really figure out how to do much of anything as most of the first hour was install and download. This time, I go onto Youtube and find a couple of tutorials.
I spent about 30 minutes finding a decent series that will give me a jump start.

Hour 3:
Spent most of this hour watching videos

Hour 4:
Created a P3T file for my Playstation 3. If anyone wants it, let me know it was my first ever creation with Photoshop, took me this full hour to create.
It's Assassins Creed 2, with a Abstract Background. Has the Icons from "Dynamic Heavy Rain".

Hour 5:
Created my first Youtube Background. I found this one to be pretty cool, i messed with some of the designs and got something that in my opinion turned out to be really nice.

So basicly, in about 5 hours, I have a basic understanding of how to use Photoshop, I hope to learn how to use it better and faster. I'm also hoping to learn how to properly create applications using Visual Basics. My goal is to create a very nice Playstation 3 Theme Developer with a very friendly UI. For now I'm going to use some of the ones out there.

I plan on using Photoshop to help me creation awesome Themes for Youtube and Playstation 3.

I will be uploading them onto my youtube account. My Youtube account contains the background you see here, so if you want to check it out you can.

Well, please let me know what you think about my first ever theme.

Sorry bro I don't like it.

It is just too messy, no flow and just isn't very authentically pleasing to the eye. It's good that you are learning though. Keep up the enthusiasm.

Ive to say it look like you gave a child of 2 a paint brush and let him go.
It could be an abstract thingy but i don't like it.

But Its just my idea you should keep try to make some figures into it

Blahblah being mean etc, keep up the work bro, you'll get there eventually!

Its funny because you said authentically pleasing when you surely meant aesthetically pleasing ^^

Also keep at it m8 ull get there, listen to Oc, he's got a wario troll, but by god does he know what he's talking about xD

Thank you for the honest opinions.

I feel that for my first and my extreme lack of knowledge in photoshop, this was decent. I'm still watching the videos and learning how to, it will just take me time.

If anyone has a link to a great site that gives great brushes to help me create an abstract theme please let me know, I really love the abstract looks.

HeY it's a new word I learned leave me alone.

Nah its a good thing trust me, at least you try, id rather see that than some of the language i have seen people use

I learned a new word as well.

I also took a attempt today and made my first signature. It's pretty decent for my skittles in my opinion.
