Hi there.
I'm currently trying to brush up on my skills if I want to start getting freelance work.
The main problem I have more then anything is when it comes to graphics work. I'm rubbish at it.
I have the ideas and what not, it's just I can't quite grasp the concept of putting it into some form of computery form.
Which is why I'm asking you guys. There is some brilliant graphics designers on this forum (monkey_man, Tyla, Nimco etc) and I was just wondering if you could point me in the right direction in terms of making cool stuff like logos and, well, graphics basically!
I remember monkey_man showing us one design of his site that had an almost 'drop shadowing' effect to the page, I want to know how to do that sort of thing.
When it comes to Photoshop, all I ever seem to do is put one piece of text here, one photo here, colour the background in etc
Also (don't worry Tyla, I'm not planning to copy this) on his development site, that logo in the right with all the hexagons and stuff, thats simple and cool. [URL]http://dev.digital-prozac.co.uk/[/URL]
So, erm, got any tips/advice/program reccomendations/sites you can offer me in terms of pushing me in the right direction?

Nimco's a brilliant graphics designer?
The hexagons are benzene rings.
