^Well, first of all, you have to get an image program like Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop. (I'd reccomend PSP, it's cheaper and a lot easier to use, from what I've heard. ;)) Then, you can browse around A-U (there's a really good tutorial on the main A-U site under the Misc.>>Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials section that I used to learn. At first, it's a little confusing, but when you get better it's fun! :dance: To use textures, you copy and paste the texture to the graphic, go to Layers>Properties>Screen. It's really fun! :)

As I've said before, you do a lovely job with textures and text placement. I would suggest, again, learning to blend pics tho. I think you will be happy with the results. I know for me, I always love recieving advice because i constantly leanr new little things that way.

Here's a link to a tutorial for PSP blending by our very own Elanor!

http://www.state-of-daydream.net/elanor/blendtut.php

Also, try using white text with a soft light layer blending.

Awesome job so far!

Sam

You make good banners. I like your second round of banners better, because of the light. IMHO the first round is too soft... I think I would've liked a little more color!! :angel:

We might want to see if she even has the same programs as we do. Do you use Photoshop 7.0 or Paint Shop Pro, Elwing?

Colors rock. The banners have a crazy look... thats what I like. :D


Kito, i think she has PSP but it´s pretty much the same in PS... Overlay is another good option for text, I use it alot :)
