Tutorial
My first attempt at a video tutorial.
This is a 15 minute tour of making an animated icon, similar to the one I'm using here. Narrated by yours truly, it's a hopefully easy-to-follow guide using Adobe Image Ready CS2*. Er, his probably isn't for you if you are a total beginner.
I've taught myself how to use this programme, so if I say something you think is utter bollocks, I do, of course, defer to your greater knowledge.
The file size is 85MB, and I'm sorry for the quality - hopefully you'll be able to tell what it is I'm doing!
Click to see the icon I'll be making Please be aware that the icon in this tutorial contains a small spoiler for SGA 3x09
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to comment here. It all seems pretty straightforward to me, but I'm sure there's *something* I have forgotten/haven't said clearly.
Anyhow, hope you enjoy!

*As far as I'm aware, the main difference between CS2 and earlier versions of the programme, is simply that in this you can select/drag more than one layer at a time. If you have any other problems, let me know.
