I used Adobe Photoshop CS for the graphics and I purchased a set of action scripts that takes a completely flat image and turns them into 3D books, ezines, cd's, video covers or whatever. An action script is recorded by someone who creates the digital graphic from scratch but records each process of how he does it. Then the next time he wants to do a similar graphic, he can just do step 1 which is create the flat image and then just press play to load the action. The computer then takes the graphic through all of the stages automatically until there is the final product. I have been messing around with photoshop for about a year and it is a pretty expensive software but I think in the long term will save me thousands in graphic design costs. As I become more experienced with Photoshop I am sure my graphics will get even better. I really think creating successful graphics comes only to those who love to design and you can tell by my offer to Alex's students that it really is fun for me. You can totally do this Chelsea if you really want to. As Alex says just fail forward fast when you do. It's not hard to look online to find color combinations that flow with each other and you can also look at other peoples graphics or magazines for design ideas. That's what I do anyways. If you need anything else or have ideas about graphics for your future products, just let me know and I'll be glad to help. I'm no graphic design guru but you really can't beat free can you? LOL Also this goes for any of you who need a graphic kickstart for your business or product idea. Keep up the good work and I'll be visiting your site soon. Talk at you later...

You can totally do this Chelsea if you really want to. As Alex says just fail forward fast when you do. It’s not hard to look online to find color combinations that flow with each other and you can also look at other peoples graphics or magazines for design ideas. That’s what I do anyways.
