I don't really consider YouTube to be the "land of tutorials." You'd be better off reading the construction set wiki.

 

Some suggestions:

Honestly I wasn't sure what you wanted. The way you worded it didn't make a lot of sense, especially talking about tutorials on YouTube.

 

The answer to "any old image" is it depends. If you can find an image that is high enough quality and you can use Photoshop or Gimp to make it work with a UV map, then yes. I would recommend some stock image sites like Morguefile.com or Imageafter.com for some higher resolution images.
