Create Your Own Banners![User Image](https://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h269/tosay_banners/yaoi/DeathNotebanner.jpg)
Okay, so you've seen all these wonderful banners, but you want to make your own! Take a moment to look around and think about what makes some banners seem better than others. The text being centered? Off to the side? Matching or complimenting the color of the picture? Small and simple is usually the best way to go, but do whatever you want!
Step 1 - Find an image you would like use for your banner. Remember, simpler is better for a banner in most cases. Be sure the size of the picture is no more than 500x500 pixels since this is the maximum size for a signature picture. And remember, nothing over PG-13! Step 2 - Next you have to find an image-editing program; there is always Paint, but it is very difficult to make a nice banner there. It is better to use PhotoShop, PaintShopPro, or Corel Painter. There are many more to choose from. Step 3 - Open the program and import the image you want to make into a banner. Crop it to look good, but don't cut any faces off! Step 4 - Now pick a nice font to use, and add the appropriate text such as the name of the guild, join now, or something like that. You can often use layers to do effects with the text to make it less clashy with the image. Add shadows, make it transparent, etc. Step 5 - Save the image, then upload it to Photobucket or a similar website like Imageshack. Step 6 - Come here, click 'post,' copy-paste the URL of the image in and edit it into the banner code found in the above post. Then submit it!
