Starting New Graphics
In order to start a new graphic in any program there are a few things you need to set before you begin to draw the graphic. The examples used here are for Adobe Photoshop, but other programs would have similar arrangements. Adobe Photoshop can be found under the windows Icon in the bottom left corner of the desktop.
