the help section in every program which will learn you how to use their program, like the help in windows or internet explorer ...etc

Have some grunge inspiration from Smashing Magazine and search for some torn paper photoshop tutorial and experiment using some grunge brushes. You can always find it using google.

Hope it helps.

yeah that sorta helped. I was mostly just looking for the torn paper, which I got now.

for torn paper I'd usually look to split the layers and use a pen tool to create a jagged or marred edge. maybe a slight shadow (maybe only 30% opacity) on the side which would be "below".

Try checking out these links for more of a tutorial.

Also you can download a few grunge brushes. Just google "Free Grunge Brushes" or go to deviantArt they have some really nice ones.

you could also find some fonts, tutorials, ect. on deviantart. that site really is amazing for photoshopping.
