Hello, I'm an enormous noob trying to figure out design. I was using GIMP at first but my friend recommended that I try paint.net and I am still trying to get the hang of it. I was wondering if any of you design wizzes out there could help me (or point me in the right direction of some pre-existing tutorials) about how to make an awesome profile for a site like myanimelist.net.
Some profiles that I want to make something similar to (not quite as extravagant though):http://myanimelist.net/profile/PresSiT, http://myanimelist.net/profile/Susurrous,http://myanimelist.net/profile/Lillyness.
I understand that these profiles probably require photoshop but I'm just looking for pointers on basic profile making stuff. Thank you so much in advance!
