Hi everyone! How’s your day? Thank you for visiting my blog for a moment just to read some of my thoughts. Did I hooked your eyes? 
Because you are always waiting for my post, I will give you some of my tips in graphic designing, actually my top secrets 
“I’ll be waiting for you! Fun price is waiting for your work.”
Do you know that I am not really interested in web and graphic designing before? It’s just so happen that we have a personal website project at school then I improved my skills on what I’ve learned. With the help of my sister, I began to do like these artworks, thanks to her!
Xsabrina.chic’s own tips:
1. Design. Always think first what to design. Is it a drawing? Or a photo manipulation? Or just want to make unknown creatures (like the picture used on this post)? Hm.. a retro style? Emo? Girly? Vector? 3D style? It’s up to you, think creatively.
2. Color combinations. After the decision, next to color combinations. You should think of at least 3 color combinations for your design. Colors is the most important in creating a design either graphic or website or fashion.
* Choose a color which is not too bright. If it is a combination of dark colors, make it dark colors. If it is light colors then make it all light colors. If you want to make it colorful, then choose the best colors like a rainbow [ROYGBIV].
* Think of the colors which are favorable on the type of your design [eg. Retro style should have the colors of violet, lavander, purple and pink color combinations.]
3. Design Elements. Next, the elements of your designs. What elements am I talking about? Those things that you can see on your designs. Example of this, if you have a girl on the design, you have an elements of banana, flowers, rainbows, fruits etc.. like this.
* Don’t make it too crowded. Having at least 3-5 elements is enough. If you want to add more, make sure you know how to decorate it that will suite the full design.
* Do not animate it as much as possible. If you want to animate it, make sure it has a very eye catching graphic animation. But to tell you the truth, I am not a big fan of animated graphic design. I used to animate for a little not for a huge one 
I only animate a graphic if it is advertisement banner.
4. Design Text. Having a texts on your graphic design is easy to add but choosing the good color might be confusing. Simply make the text darker color (black is suggested) if you have a light background, and make the text lighter color (white is the best) if your background is some kinda darker color. If you want to blend it with a gradient, then blend it from a lighter color to darker color. Make it plain text if you want. Do not emboss it 
aw! I’m not a fan of embossing a text.
5. The Backgrounds. I used to have a very light designs on the background. Try to check my designs, the background is always transparency. Why transparency? Because I want to emphasize the main graphic element. Boink boink!
6. Observe. Observe the overall finished design. Satisfied with your work? Does your color combination looks well? How about the graphic elements? Don’t tell me it’s too crowded! Peace 
Take note, this is just my own way of designing my own graphics. When doing your own graphic designs, beauty is not important, just feel it and work with passion 
Be creative and do it with self-confidence!
Well, I think you’ve got my proper way of designing. I hope you have learned from me, at your service Miss Xsabrina.chic

Hi Eunice, welcome to my blog! Thank you for this message
I only used Adobe Photoshop CS3 when it comes to designing friendster layouts. Unfortunately, I’m not active anymore in designing friendster layouts.. Sometimes I used Adobe Illustrator too, for 3D Text effects 
Salamat ng marami Eunice! You are very much welcome here~

This is the good start neo
I like the text styles but the 2nd image doesnt give cool colors, maybe u can change the color of the texts to make it cool in the eyes of your viewers 
i like the design, this is a good start neo

September 14th, 2009 at 2:12 AM
ate sab nid ur comments here.. work1 and this one too. work2 and the last one work2 hehehe…thanks in advance ate..
bout that multiply pala wat dapat kulay ng font? para pag i blend xa na multiply makita parin ung texT? hmm
October 11th, 2009 at 11:08 AM
hmm, i like the work1, it’s simple and i like the color combination
mahilig tlga ako sa mga simple tignan pero maganda sa paningin.
I suggest for the t-shirt, dont make a gradient kasi hndi kaya ng magpprint ung may gradient, mahal yan kapag nagpa-print ka :-p although the design is good, just make it 3-4 color combination
I like the background of the 3rd image, maybe change the red to black? hhmm, and also the picture hndi yata na-cut ng maaus, do a 1 px of feather only
ung color ng red lang palitan that is 93% for me 
sa multiply blending options? hm.. I suggest white kng dark ang bg color mo..not sure with the white bg.. anyway, ang alam ko ung multiply in any color makikita pa rin eh? hmm..
October 11th, 2009 at 6:00 PM
i also like the first one and last..anung 1px feather ate? how will i do that? sayang di mo na che check mga bagong gawa ko sa fb..dun ko kasi nilalagay agad para ma access mo..to have your comments din..hm, basta ung multiply kasi nawawala ang nilalagay ko pag ginagamitan ko..
October 18th, 2009 at 3:03 PM
i usually do “0px feather” para clear ung pagcut
naku, pasencya na kasi bihira ako mgopen ng FB account sa ngaun, puro work ako sa office dahil sa PBB websites.. Anyway, ill check it if i have time

Hi Sabrina,
Belated Happy Birthday!!
I am planning to have a website and I don’t know how to make an attracting one. I want it to be a blog that can relate everybody mostly teens like me. But, I don’t know how to make graphics effectively like you do. I don’t seem to see tutorials that will sooth my needs anywhere (even in your site). Would you mind if you would teach me. Hope you would answer my request.
Thanks in advance and more power!
Arkin

Thank you Arkinx! You said that you want to build a site, but do you know how to program? The first thing to do is to learn and read the basic codes for building a sites. You can build a site without knowing the main root of it
I suggest you to learn designing first and coding as second 
Thank you so much for the greetings! It’s my pleasure!
