okay.. i really want to learn how to make banners.. i have adobe 7.0 and paint.. i am just still so confused on how to make em.. ive tried looking for tutorials but those jus confuse me more.. geez.. if anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated.. thanx mucho

simple banner...


1] you open a NEW document. File>New
make it 220 (width in pixels) by 90 (heigth in pixels)

2] take a picture you want or picture you want to put in...( file>open> the picture you want)
use the POLYGONAL LASSO (its the second to last top tool that is closest to the left corner. it should look like a lasso. to make it a polygonal lasso, just click on it and chose polygonal lasso.)

3] use the polygonal lasso to trace your picture by clicking on edges and curves to shape the picture's shape.

4] after you have connected the polygonal lassso, click and drag the traced picture to your new document that you have opened in the beginning.

5] now open your BRUSHES window. (window>brush) and click brushes to decorate your banner.

THE END!!!

k, when your using your brush, there should be a little blue arrow on the side of the brush window thing.. click on it and go to "Load Brushes".. then find where you downloaded the brush and voila !
