Among the many hobbies I have picked up over the years is a love for graphic design. I am by no means a professional nor do I claim to be an expert but I love learning new Photoshop techniques and tricks. I am 100% self taught on the program and my knowledge base is very limited when it comes to such extensive software but I manage.
Want to learn how to do Photoshop too? The software can be very costly but there are free Photoshop-like programs available on the web. Two that I am familiar with are Gimp and Paint.net. Gimp is the more advanced option of the two but I have found that Paint.net may be easier to use if you are unfamiliar with the programs. Tutorials on different Photoshop techniques are available on YouTube which is where I have learned most of my abilities.
If you are interested in basic photo editing I recommend trying Google's free program Picasa combined with Picnik. Both very easy to use and have fun features to create unique photographs.
My latest project was creating a header for my friend Krista's blog, granolAnika, of her beautiful little girl.

Of course there was my own header.
And then a commemorative sign I made for the 1 year birth of my son and other January 2010 babies.
So awesome!
