Graphics Help?

Happy Friday all!

I was trying to make a logo/design/thing in Photoshop the other night and let me just say - I SUCK AT IT!
I wanted to try and put together a Pink Ribbon and our walk team name - Hope for Miles and maybe AWBC Chicago - then add feet or shoes or something.
Yeah just could not figure the dang thing out.
Cafepress.com lets you open an online store where you upload your logo and pickout what you sell - I wanted to open a store to raise money for our walk team for the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer.
Anyone out there in LBT-land think they can help me?! Or help unlock the secrets of that silly photoshop program!

Not sure what you tried or why it wasn't working, but you'll want to use a layer for each graphic element. That keeps them separate - which means you can always go back and position/change/manipulate one piece without touching the others. If you don't work in layers, you're really clamped down in terms of what you can do without having to recreate the entire thing.

So you'll want a layer called something like "Shoes" and that will hold the image of your running shoes, and one called "Ribbon" with your pink ribbon, etc.

I've used photoshop (and PSP, and fireworks, and illustrator, and...) extensively for years, so feel free to ask any questions you have.

Something to keep in mind - unless you're going to create all of these images from scratch (which I'm guessing you aren't), or have purchased reproduction rights to proprietary graphics, you can't usually 1) reproduce or alter the original images or 2) sell anything featuring that image, whether for profit or not. Copyright rules are a fickle beast.
