How do you make a banner?

How do you make a banner, like the one you put right under your name in a forum? Could anyone help me? Thank you!

Re: How do you make a banner?

There's a few different tools you could use. If you've got good computer art skills, you can try GIMP, Paint.net, or MS Paint (even though the quality isn't really that good) to make one yourself.

Or you could just use mybannermaker.com if you have no computer art skills like me.  tongue

Re: How do you make a banner?

I used to make a project in scratch and put it as my banner before I knew how to make one  tongue

Re: How do you make a banner?

After you've made the image, save it as a PNG and then upload it to a image hosting site such as tiny pic. If you have a google account you can also use Picasaweb.

Re: How do you make a banner?

Oh, and to upload it, go to personality and type it in.

You need to get the image url and do this(remove the spaces when you actually do it)...

[ i m g ] url here [ / i m g ]

Re: How do you make a banner?

I made mine using the Scratch paint editor, then added the blur effect using paint.NET. I then uploaded it to Tinypic (you could choose a different image hosting website though). Then you just need to put

Code:

[img](URL of picture here)[/img]

Re: How do you make a banner?

You can make your own using Paint.net, Gimp, Photoshop or other image editors. Then you upload the picture to a image hosting website and put the url of the image in between the [img] tag and the [/ img] tag.

If your not that graphically talented, the "Requests" section on the Forums is a great place to get a sig.

Re: How do you make a banner?

What? for your signature? here are some steps:

1. make an image. use paint or gimp is best.
2. save it as a PNG file.
3. go to your profile in forums and click on  the personality underlined text and upload the image and bam! all done. (Note: you need to be a scratcher to save a signature banner)

But if you want a banner for no reason try mybannermaker.com  tongue
