Hioco Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 right i have noticed a lot of people are making mistakes and using stuff like paint for there banners so here is a tut for gimp which has a lot of power to it Brushes http://project-gimpbc.deviantart.com/art/GIMP-Inner-Universe-Brushes-62834150 1.open up gimp and start a new image with 400 width and 150 hight [IMG]http://i26.tinypic.com/waiuxs.jpg[/IMG] 2.then go to brushes and select one you want (dont forget to set the colour) [IMG]http://i28.tinypic.com/2md41w7.jpg[/IMG] 3. add another brush for effect (make the colour darker) [IMG]http://i25.tinypic.com/a27vwk.jpg[/IMG] 4.Go to photobucket planet renders game renders or request one to find a render (here is mine) and save your render as a png file [IMG]http://i28.tinypic.com/29bf4ox.png[/IMG] 5.open your image in a new layer and [IMG]http://i27.tinypic.com/96gxlk.jpg[/IMG] 6.after that move it it to your liking with the move tool [IMG]http://i32.tinypic.com/2mrtqtw.jpg[/IMG] and this is what mine looked like [IMG]http://i31.tinypic.com/2llncck.jpg[/IMG] 7.now merge the layer down 8.Now you can add text so go to dialogues and go to fonts [IMG]http://i31.tinypic.com/344v91w.jpg[/IMG] and then pick from the list [IMG]http://i29.tinypic.com/5lx508.jpg[/IMG] 9.mess about with the colour and size This is what the finished result should look like [IMG]http://i27.tinypic.com/262kz6a.jpg[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
