Tutorial/Resource Sites

For the love of Christ, practice, deviate from and combine tutorials before you start offering graphics services. At least get the hang of making stuff look cool. The following sites will help you.

Golden rules:

Anti-Aliasing

Anti-alias is your friend. Use it on 95% of your fonts. Common sense should tell you when to not use it (Pixel fonts should not be anti-aliased. Neither should some other fonts at low font sizes.) If you see jaggies on your text, give it some anti-aliasing. If not, don't. If the font becomes blurry and hard to read, take off anti-aliasing or increase your font size. Go with what looks best and if you can't get it to look right, try another font.
