One fine day, in a land called "Graphics Nation," the members of the high committee were discussing and debating on something new to add to the fun and the hype that was happening and finally came up with the "Tricks | Tips & Tutorials 101."

If you're fairly new to graphic designing and don't want to spend money firsthand, the best program you can use is Pixlr. It offers quite a lot of features and is easy to work with. Pixlr has three different apps on web (not that sure about mobile though as I haven't used it). One is Pixlr Editor, Two is Pixlr Omatic and the other is Pixlr Express. Editor is for making your graphic, Omatic is to add retro effects and Express is to add your filters, overlays and effects.
