Help Making Cool Graphics

[Mars]

Hi All,

I'm realitively new to this Graphics deal, I Have Adobe 7 and have messed around with it over the past couple of years having it but im only Just starting to delve into the world of Advanced graphics such as the ones on this site...

Im struggling with the basics of creating a funky yet random background........

E.g. all the background on the example/free graphics are all so cool ( I especially like the Ashey graphic someone has made for themselves)

Does anyone have a selection of Brushes that they can advise to me that would work on my Adobe 7 so I can create such backgrounds?? Once I have got the background to my liking I should be ok with the rest (id just play with the colours and editing of images etc till i get it right....)

Thanks for any feedback! As im trying to make the background perfect before I go into editing the Images themselves..... Im very critical about things like this I create and I do like them to be perfect so the help will be very much Appreciated....
