MySpace Band Layout Tutorial


Welcome to Version 2 of the Band Layout Tutorial! This tutorial will help you out in making those professional looking layouts that graphic designers are making for these rising bands. A lot of people are getting into this kind of thing, and resources for Band Layouts are very slim, so I hope this topic helps anyone out that needs the help and resources.

Rules:
  • Do not spam this thread.
  • Please look through other posts to see if a problem similar to yours is resolved.
  • If you see a broken link, unavailable screenshot, or non-working code, please report it to me.
  • If you are having any trouble, feel free to ask in here or PM me.
  • If you leave me a PM, please give me a week to reply before sending me more PM's.
  • If you have any requests for my tutorial, please post in this topic.

^ yes, once you get all the image urls in the slice table, copy the whole table (from the first table tag to the second one) and put it where your top image is.

if you used tjs tutorial i think the class is .topbanner


im pretty sure he goes over it in his slice tutorial though, but i could be wrong.
