I just made this Marines banner, took about an hour. I think I did really good! I really like it! please tell me what you think!

sportydude · 12-10-2006, 10:06 PM

aww...it looked better in photoshop

ozballer23 · 12-10-2006, 11:50 PM

I think you did really good for a first effort, well done!

Stang81 · 12-11-2006, 12:04 AM

Not too shabby!!

Try this, when you are saving it to a JPG you are asked what file size you want it to save as. Select 12 (max).

Also, once you have your Banner complete and you are ready to save it. Go up to LAYER and select (NEW LAYER). Then click the little arrow and go back to LAYER (ARRANGE) and select BRING TO FRONT.

Then hit CTRL+A (a blinking box will go around the outside).

Then go to EDIT and select STROKE.

Make it whatever color you want, and select 2px (Inside).

That will give you a border and make it look a little better.

But if you try to save it as a larger file and then load it into Photobucket you shouldn't have any problems with it resizing.

Good luck!! If you have any questions I would be happy to help.

Thanks
Mike

here is another piece of advice:
if you paste a pic on your banner and want to make it smaller, hit ctrl-t and then hold shift and drag one of the corners in. this prevents the pic from getting distorted....

it looks okay, but also looks a little streched out in the middle

Quincy8Douby · 12-11-2006, 06:53 PM

decent for a first one but the text is hard to read and everything is confusing... 6.5/10, but good for a first one...
