MySpace Band Layout Tutorial Welcome to Version 2 of the Band Layout Tutorial! This tutorial will help you out in making those professional looking layouts that graphic designers are making for these rising bands. A lot of people are getting into this kind of thing, and resources for Band Layouts are very slim, so I hope this topic helps anyone out that needs the help and resources. Rules:

Getting Started Here is a list of things you might want consider using to make your layout: Adobe Photoshop CS4 Adobe Illustrator CS4 GIMP Notepad Some of this tutorial will be based on Adobe Photoshop CS4, but the steps are optional, so you don't have to follow those steps. Before we even start making the layout, make sure you have everything prepared for the layout. Make sure you get rid of all of your current coding on your MySpace, but make sure you do all of your editing in Safe Mode. If you don't do editing in Safe Mode, you will not be able to save your changes. Also, make sure you have your images ready to put on the layout. You will want to have your pictures all uploaded, unless you are looking into slicing images, then you'll have to upload as you go along. Here are some websites you can use to upload your pictures.In my opinion, I would recommend using webs, because Photobucket and Imageshack aren't that reliable. |
