Small Steps

As most of you know i havent a clue what to do where graphic design is concerned but it's something i want to learn. This thread will be a kind of blog on my progress if you can call it that lol
I havent any graphic software as yet so i am using paint. Once i get the hang of that i'll move onto the software.

So here's my very first design (don't laugh)

I took a normal winter scene and added christmas lights to the trees..

Now, i'm wondering how to get a variety of fonts to use on my pc..

Actually that's pretty good for a paint rendered photomanip, I've done alot of things in paint too, it's not a hard program to use but it's kind of blocky, as for fonts just put it in on any search engine, there are hundreds of places that offer good free ones.

Oooo I like that one with the lights. That's very nice. As tMM and Straga said, there are plenty of places you can get fonts from. There are a number of good sites if you're looking for free fonts as well.

I like the last one with the pile of lights, it's unique and inventive, and it looks awesome!
