Introduction
More and more people are learning to create
avatars for themselves. Why not join them
and take the plunge?
AbD offers one of the best
graphics design apprentice programs around.
We offer a thorough training structure,
to teach the various elements necessary
to create your own works of art using Paint
Shop Pro.
There are two stages to the
program. Stage One is an introduction to
PSP, and Stage Two is for fine tuning and
learning more advanced techniques.
To date, literally hundreds
of people have participated in the program,
and AbD is proud to boast that many great
designers have graduated the program, and
gone on to participate in other areas of
AbD and other avatar sites.
Some have even carried on
to further graphics design training in real-time,
and included it in their careers.
The program is FREE and run
solely by a group of amazing volunteers.
(Many of them graduates from the program
itself.) There are also buddies available
to give that little bit extra help in the
early stages, and administrators to ensure
the smooth overall running of the program.
