    Default tutorials for making your own banners, or graphics?

    can anyone post some tutorial links for making your own graphics that are easy to follow? i want to make banners and such with text that look cute for my blog with pictures. i tried some of those "make a free banner" sites and they all came out looking crappy.

    im fairly ok with doing regular photo editing i just dont know how to get cute fonts and stamps and pics and throw them all together.

    alternativly, do you know of any good sites that will make them for a decent price?

    a good example would be layla starz graphics on her mfc page. they are really cute.

    I use photoshop and things you'll want to use are... magic eraser for easy background edits, pen tool to erase a hard background... feathered erasers... layer styles... layer masks to change only SOME things in a photo.

    I was thinking about doing some adult graphics tutorials because nothing is ever really all in one place... but everyone is so paranoid and grumpy lately that I feel I need an ulterior motive first.

    people have been super grump lately....

    id pay for online tutorials honestly. id like to learn to do this myself, vs having to hire someone to do it. and your right nothing i ever all in one place hence my thread. i was hoping to get it here

    ps i use GIMP but i think a lot of the tools are the same.

    I do a quick collage using Picnik. I have the full membership thing, which is like $25 for a year, so I don't remember if you can make a collage without signing up.

    Make collage - select your background colour and format, drop pictures in wherever you want, then click Done - then it's treated like one big "picture" and you can drop text and stickers, etc., on it.

    I have the site Layla uses for her photos bookmarked on my laptop - I'll send you the link when I get home. I think her profiles are always well done!
