This will hopefully be a easy tutorial and it will include pictures so it makes it easier to do. I will also have some tips and tricks on making a cool and clean thread designs.
This is just a example on how you can do it I am not saying that should do it like this I'm just sharing experience on how you can do it to attract customer to your shop.
Step 1
You want to first make a new photoshop file / template by going into,
File > New and there will then be opened a mini window like the one bellow.

This is when the designing will start and the tips and tricks for how to make a good looking tread design for beginners!
Basic information about a thread design.
Making a good thread design is really important, the better it looks the more it attracts customers more because it looks clean and professional.
Step 2.
Header.
To show that the thread is professional I will recommend making a good header with your company name and slogan or subtitle. Here is an example of how a header could look like, you can also add more things than just your company name and subtitle or slogan.

Now what I like to do for thread designs to make them look clean and good I like to add some extra things, as you can see on this header that I have added an extra arrow that will make it look more "clean" as I believe.
If you are wondering on how to create this, it is really simple to do yourself but you can find this around on the internet by searching for "Arrows" and you might find something that works out, now I like doing it myself and if you want to know how I can create a tutorial later on how to create cool icons. ( I have a pre-made psd file with most of the icons I need...
) So, header is important because it is the first thing a customer will see on your shop.Information, why me or other things.
The second thing that is important is talking to your customers. Tell them about your experience of modding or doing graphics, the more positive information you share with your customers the more they will be attracted, now do NOT share too much because you want the information to be short and not to long so the customer will be overloaded with information.

What I like to do is share some information with my customers on who I am and then after a bit short about me I will talk more about my service and my rating on what current customer has rated me and I also will share some like "Fast Delivery", "Good Quality" etc. Now again I have custom icons for myself, but you can search up on google on icons you can use.
You can also see that I share my "skills" or the programs I can work in and that is to share with my customers that I am good within the program and I have chosen the most used programs of mine and not spammed with the once I use.
Prices and Packages.
I'm not going to talk to much about how to price your products because that is up to you and the prices you use are the once you want. There for you need to chose on what you want, but you have to remember to be reliable with the prices so you can attract customers.
Design within the shop and packages.
The design within the shop and packages I will again recommend using a clean design but sill you need to have it like you want to have it, so if you want it dark and shabby that is up to you but I recommend using a light and clean one. like the once bellow.

Designing packages and prices like this is clean and you can easy see the included things inside the packs. I recommend having something like one of them above, or you can create your own style which also recommended.
Contact and Payment.
Now I will repeat myself a lot I recommend using a light and clean design because it will the customer be more attracted to the service you offer because your thread design looks clean and professional.
Design for this is similar to the rest of the thread.
Subtitles.
When we talk about subtitles I have a few different ones. You can make it with a background image with looks good or not. As you can see bellow.

The cleaner it looks the better.
Conclusion.
So, I again recommend using a clean and nice design which attracts customer more and it will look more professional. The light theme is good swell because it is a light themes website and if it has been dark themed I would recommend using a dark themed design, but for NGU I recommend using a light design.
Before you finish reading remember, create your own style!
I know I'm saying "do it like this" and "do it like that", but you have to make your own style and make it uniqe so it wont look like all the other ones! I'm just making examples on how you can do it now that you are going to do it.
