As-Salaamu alaikum

You may like to try out the Paint programme that is usually found in Windows--> Accessories to make your own personalized avatar or signature.
Open the Paint programme by clicking on your Windows start menu --> all programmes --> Accessories ----> Paint

Choose the size of your graphic. --> Click on Image ---> Attributes

For an avatar some forums have a limit of avatar size 80x80 pixels but here in the Art Garden the max size is approx 150 x 150 pixels

For ease of use you can click on View -->Zoom and choose Custom and at least 400x magnification --> also choose 'Show Grid' and you can add blocks of colour of your own choice and design (similar to making a mosaic). If you want to add text to your design, such as your name then it is easier to add that first before zooming in inshaAllah.
The grid will dissappear when you revert back to normal size.

InshaAllah I will try to add some pics to this tutorial when I have more time available.

Please also visit the help menu in the Paint programme as this has loads of info for you to learn more and understand the programme more easily.Most importantly, have fun while you're doing so inshaAllah computer05 wave

WaSalaamu alaikum,

Well i have been dabbling around in the paint programme and this is a flower icon that i have made. It is based on a design of a flower from the Peachies Collection.
Making a Graphic (perhaps an avatar or siggy) in Paint Aishaflower
This was made with the image attributes 25 pixels width by 50 pixels height. Because it is such a small image then you need to choose the maximum zoom 800x magnification and also 'show grid' as a guide.

If you save my flower image to your computer and open it in the paint programme you can see what i mean inshaAllah. I opened two separate Paint windows (side by side) so that i could work on my own flower whilst at the same time using a reference image also on high magnification.

Here's a screen shot (please click on the image to view it full size):

Who else is going to have a go? it doesn't have to be complicated - think of it as a beautiful mosaic made up of coloured tiles. cool computer05
