Howdy, welcome to skin love.

You need things such as graphic editors, base skin template, tutorial sites etc etc

And you can find them here...

www.jasc.com get paintshop pro from there , a great art package.
www.adobe.com get photoshop from there, a better art package
www.macromedia.com get fireworks from there, another sweet packages.

As for base skin templates, you cant go wrong with....

http://www.winamp.com/skins/detail.jhtml?componentId=71571
or

As for tutorials, check out...

Hope these are of some help to you.

you may want to stick with Jasc PaintShop Pro for now. It's a free demo download and a fairly solid program. If you have never used a graphics prog before, than this should be more than sufficient. Adobe carries a weighty price tag but in my opinion is superior to the Jasc counterpart. Hell, Photoshop is the standard, for the most part.

here's a few more links:

hope these help a little.

Hey Jonesy?
Need a new project? May I suggest an announcement at the top of this forum with FAQ/tutorials on skinning for the n00bs?
We added one for SHOUTcast that Tom came up with and have cut way down on n00b queries.
