like every wonderful story it all started with my grandma. you have to know she's 70 years old now but she started to operate with an own pc like 10 years ago.
i got my first own pc 8 years ago.
my grandma gave it to me as a birthday present and ontop of that some programs.
i don't want to advertise something so I'll just say.. uhm yeah.. burning-software, office-tools... and "Microsoft Picture It!"
my first picture editing program (paint doesn't count)
i started hardworking to create and modify pictures and had much fun with that.
that was the time I got pretty much more active in the internet had a ninendo game console and joined a Gaming-Clan for nintendo's super smash bros. (i don't play it anymore but it's awesome!!!)
in the community of this clan there were some guys that were creating signatures with the nintendo-figures. I was completly fascinated and wanted to create something like that, too.
i looked up on google for pictures and made my first signatures. I have acknowledge they weren't very good. But no one is born a master so i continued...
i soon got Photoshop (it really doesn't matter how, does it? NOOO!)

what now follows is chaper two: "GFX-Sector"

i soon made a lot of signatures for the clanmembers. I used a lot of brushes and simple typographies. by then I thought it is supercool (can't understand when i see it right now. lol)
somebody asked me for a signature with joker (from batman) as motive and I looked for the font used in the sentence: Why so serious (I'm sure you know it from the filmposters).

in fact I didn't find the font BUT another board called gfx-sector (www.gfx-sector.de <<- VISIT VISIT VISIT! )
they had (and have) a lot of "Tutorials, Ressources and friendly Members".
so I registered..
i read a lot of tutorials, downloaded ressources, read more tutorials, posted my creations, learned by feedback, trial and error. i had good and bad times and now here i am. fresh sam. fresher than I've ever been. ready to make YOU fresh, too.
