Very, very good introduction. I enjoy reading these :]

Welcome to GFXVoid, this is a very friendly place with a great group of Artists and GFX Artists. We have tutorials and don't mind helping you out with anything you need if you are stuck, I would suggest asking for help outside of the chatbox since people usually use it to mess around and don't take much seriously there.

As for Classical music, Bach and Beethoven's albums are on my top-priority list for when I design so I enjoy it as well :], quite a bit. I also listen to Electronic music and other sorts of musics ranging from Meditation scripts and fine tuned Endorphin release sounds to Dubstep, Hip Hop, Rap, Raggaeton, Club, Country, Techno, Rock, Modern Rock, and others (depends on the artist and/or band) so great if you ever need some song suggestions feel free to ask!

When it comes to art and design, I suggest never trying to rush, take it slow and enjoy the ride because it is all part of it :].

c ya around!
