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.

  • If you leave me a PM, please give me a week to reply before sending me more PM's.
