The name says it all, I hope, since it is my first ever video tutorial that you enjoy it.
If there was anything you didn't like, then please use constructive criticism to help me make a better one next time.
Bah! I hope my voice isn't that boring, I'm only 15 and you might find me a tad squeaky, i dunno.
Yeah so I hope you like the design. If you send me messages through the email system in YouTube with somethng you want doing, make sure to leave me an email address, and I will make a design for you. I can make some pretty nice designs in different styles. Make sure to tell me:

-Background colour.
-Background type, Gradient, like on the tutorial or solid colour.
-What sort of images to use, ie: If it is a gaming clan that playes Left 4 Dead, you might want the Left 4 Dead icon. If it is a money making site you might want a dollar sign or some coins/notes.
-Your Email Address - I won't be able to attach files through YouTube.
-Any other information I might need/find useful.

Oohkay, so just a recap on what you do incase you didn't understand the tutorial:

+ Load Photoshop. New File. Set the dimensions to 150 x 45, click Okay.
+ Use Gradient tool with the Black Colour to make the base effect.
+ Select File then Place to place the image you wish.
+ Put the image to the place you want it at and press the tick at the top of the screen on the toolbar.
+ Click the Text Tool, the 'T' on the side panel.
+ Choose 'Copperplate Gothic Bold' as the font, and type the name of the page you will want to link this picture to.
+ Save a copy as a Photoshop PSD file format so you don't have to remake it every time.
+ Save it ideally to PNG Format, as I find they are highest quality to use.
+ The rest is up to you ;)

Bye the way: I never noticed this until after I started uploading, but Snag It didn't want to view the slide show for some reason, but you could kinda see the images before and after I play the slideshow of them.
