i could create things like that in a couple of minuets... whats so good about it?
Why not try it then? Because to me, I don't think you can. And to prove it to you, MrLlamaLlama told you this a while back when you posted in his Topic in the GFX + Creativity forum:
To be honest with you Deji, don't say that you can do it, because really, you don't have the skills to do it. Possibly you know how to use the blending options for a text, but when it comes to the main images, you just crop then and claim it. You shouldn't do that since it looks really simple. You should get some brushes (If they have that in Fireworks), play around with the background colour, use a bit of gradient and see what you can make.
Thomas uses Fireworks, and he's produced something that awesome, yet it's unique. I would like to quote this though: "No-one Else Has Done Any Of These. So They Are Unique" - Actually, those aren't classified as being unique, just plain and simple. And if you still think that you can do it, I challenge you to replicate my signature, if you say you can do it. As a matter of fact, I'll give you a day to replicate my sig. If you can't do that, then don't even say that you're good.
If you find it hard, ask for help. Us members that are good at GFX will surely help you out. Just don't prove to us that you can make a sig, because like everyone said, your work's rubbish. If I was you, just use Fireworks, nothing else.
