~*~INTRODUCTION~*~

Welcome!

I learned a technique a while back on how to place your copyright info directly on your art, *THANKS* to my friend Bernadette Hurley, who first intruduced me to this way of *ruining graphics* lol, she showed me what she had done, but didn't tell me her *secret*, so I found my own way! THANKS FRIEND!

After being asked many times how I *did it* I decided to write up this little Tut for my DCS friends :) Hope you enjoy it!

This branding was really born out of necessity. I was doing *way too much* work for a site competition I was involved in, and some of my graphics were being sent out, adopted and picked up like hotcakes, but I wasn't always getting a link back, or the links were being given to the competition itself and not to me :(. I found this to be a nice way to make sure my name was always close to my work!

Ok I use PSP7, but we will be using the following tools: writing, cutout, dropshadow, and exporting it into a tube. So if you know where all those things are on your version of PSP, you can do this!

Ready??? Ok Let's go! I will be as specific as possible, I will show you how to create it, how to make it into a tube for later use, and how to add it to your art, and adjust the layer settings to make it look right :).~~~So when you're done...you should have something like this:
