          Im not good at design but I know the basics, and I can produce some decent shit....

          I usually fire up photoshop and design the whole thing there...then hit the slice tool and cut my tables/headers/footers etc.. in multiple images...
          mmm my sig was too big... no more cool animation
          but hey still! need php? ICQ: 94586959

              not enough choices in the poll. the closest of the three is to lay it out in photoshop, though I know how it's going to fit together before it gets sliced and uploaded.

                I wasn't really talking about slices. But ok. I haven't used Photoshop to completely design a site before. I usually make the graphics over there, then pop them into Fireworks. But I can learn new tricks still.

                          You ARE quick...I spend at least 4-5 hours to design 3-4 good logos to choose from.

                              any designer who doesn't do thumbnails and/or sketches first is most likely a self-proclaimed designer who has no actual training.
