Does your website look a little out-dated?
Do you struggle to get users to trust your site?
Is that "Secure Transaction" badge on your page really working?
Did you know that your website graphics can change all of this?
I was approached last year by a number of people all with the same
question; "How can I make my online business more successful and
generate more sales?". From my own experience, spending time and
effort on creating stunning graphics DIRECTLY INFLUENCES online sales,
a result of creating a better impression on the user.
If you can make a good impression on the user visiting your site, the
user is MUCH MORE LIKELY to trust your website and consider purchasing
products...
So every time I got an email with that same question, I told them:
"The success of my business is a direct result of high quality
promotional designs and graphics, all produced in photoshop"
I then told them to ask themselves the following:
* Would you buy products from a website that looks out-dated?
* If a website was covered in "_secure payment_" and "_safe
transaction_" badges, would that make you trust it?
* Does your site look like it has been made by someone at home? or a
team of designers?
Which site would you buy from?

all, people use. Learning to use colours creatively is key to making
your graphics pop.
Photoshop brushes and pencils
When using brushes and pencils in Photoshop, you can paint and draw
on images. This is one of the main parts of graphic design with this
software. When you are learning how to use brushes, the skill is not
something that you can catch on to overnight. The Photoshop Help Guide
has detailed hints on using Photoshop brushes and pencils.
Pictures and the 'Picture layout' in Photoshop
Implementing the picture layout is simple and doesn
