Website Banner Options

[mverzyl]

I Need To Make A Banner For This Website I'm Trying To Put Together. My Father's A Preacher And This Site We're Opening Up Is For Our Church. I Know Exactly How He Wants The Banner, But I Need Help On How To Get Started On The Banner Because I'm New To Making And Putting Together Graphics. I Just Installed Paint Shop Pro This Morning.

Here Is A Link To A Drawing I Made On How We Want The Banner To Look: CLICK HERE

Don't Mind All The Scribbles In The Banner, That's Just To Show What Part Is What Color, I Wrote A Key In The Content Section Underneath The Banner.

My Father Wants The Scene Of Golgotha (The 3 Crosses) On The Banner With A White Dove Flying Up. Underneath The Crosses He Wants It Black, Then Dark Maroon/Red, Lighter, Then Sky Blue And White Finally Ontop. Also Where It's Black Under The Crosses Is Where He Wants The Name Of His Church.

I've Been Searching For Pictures, But I Just Don't Know Where To Start And I Need Some Help. Like, If I Find A Picture Of The Scene Of Golgotha I Need To Crop It And Change The Colors To How I Want. And Then When I Find A Pic Of The Flying Dove I Need To Put Just The Dove Into The Banner. I Don't Know How To Do That, Etc.

So, lol. I Could Use Some Help.

they have bird brushes

I suppose you can search http://creative.gettyimages.com/source/home/home.aspx for the crosses

for the sky use a gradient

and i guess you can try vectoring the ground (the black part) and easily add text on it.

Well Thanx For Pointing Out Those Bird Brushes, But They're For Photoshop. I Have Paint Shop Pro.

And I Don't Know What A Gradient Or Vectoring Is. lol.
