To start off, let's open up your Photoshop program (versions 6.0 or 7.0) and fire up a new document. Simply go to File > New or just hit ctrl + N (windows) or Apple + N (Macintosh).

Let's put in the following dimensions for our document:

Height: 300 (pixels)
Width: 300 (pixels)
Resolution: 72 DPI

So far everything is going just great. If something has gone terribly wrong at this point, maybe Graphic Design wasn't meant for you. Otherwise, let's move on.
