General graphics design tips

As we have learned before, remember the general rules, keep it clean and keep it fast. Check your page load times, and try to keep them below 20 seconds maximum using a 56k modem connection, that includes images and everything. Obvious exceptions is that if you have a large area with multimedia content that the user chooses to enter, not an area that you force him to enter.

Use good software, it will make the difference. Don't expect to be an expert in Photoshop if you can make some text and throw a few filters at it, and all of a sudden you are an expert. It is much more deeper then that. Be sure to learn the way channels and layers work, and learn all the toolbars, as they will help you out of a lot of sticky situations.
