My suggestion on getting started with branding in SharePoint is to start with just generally css branding. Try changing the css files around to see what you can do. After you do that maybe go into SharePoint designer and start changing the Master Page on a site to see what can be done. Pay close attention to everything going on in the Master Page while you are in SharePoint designer so you can get a feel for what it contains. Then, after you see what you can do directly against a Master Page in SharePoint designer, you will be ready to learn how to deploy Master Pages to sites through features and solutions.
This series of articles is my attempt to write an article every step of the way through the Master Page modification cycle. Now that we have just given an introduction I am going to show the more specific concepts of SharePoint Master Pages in my next article. Then I am going to go through some of the techniques I mentioned in this comment on modifying the Master Page through Designer or html. Then I am going to go through how to wrap it all up in a feature.
Hopefully by the end of this series you should have a good understanding of how to brand effectively. But, if you want to get a head start, I would suggest looking into the suggestions I mentioned above in this comment.
Stay tuned.... Greg

I have a doubt and i feel you the right person to solve it.
We are currently having 300 sites. We have a requirement to display the name of the site owner on each site and sub sites.
I feel that we can make this changes in the master page. Kindly inform me whether it is possible and also mention the steps. I am a newbie to sharepoint so kindly be simple in explanation.
Thanks in advance
Anis
