Description This is part 1 of a three-part series I'm working on. This first part should explain anything you might wonder over when it comes to stationary emotes.

The next two parts will deal with Simple Animation and Advanced Animation. Stay tuned.

If there is anything you feel remains unaswered in this tutorial, please contact me and I'll make sure to add it.

Ofcourse CS3 is ok. CS2 was the latest thing available when I wrote this tutorial, but now I'm using CS3 myself as well.

Wow, great tutorial. I always did mine entirely by hand in Paint, even though I have more advanced programs. This should help a lot.

Hehe, great first point with the music
I wanted to try your method right now and my media player has been running for about an hour giving me the right mood to create emoticons

What I want to say: You're right, music "helps"!
