I got it up and working again, so i might as wqell learn how to use it. If anyone here has a ny good beginner tutorials I would appreciate it if you posted them here so i can learn form them.. *is currently rearanging all of the pellets and stuff* well wish me luck..

How long did it take you to get semi familiarized with CS2 and how long was it before you made your first siggy that was good enough to be used.

Go to gamerenders and go to the tutorial section. A lot of them are full sig tuts but might be a bit too complicated for you >_<.

It didn't take me long at all to figure out CS2 and start creating sigs. Its just the process of learning things from tutorials and your own fooling around and applying them to your sigs to make them unique and your own style.. Check out the tutorial links people have provided and that should get you started. Have fun smile.gif (I may not be in the graphics team, but I still dabble in creating sigs in CS2 when I have time... gonna apply for graphics team once I feel I have a good quality of work.)

Tutorials lead you to the fountain, you have to drink. I use a lot of tutorials as references. There have been many times I've been working on an image and had to sift through tutorials to find an effect i want but am unsure how to create.
