I've seen a lot of pilots making great banners but they all have some kind of add to a company or that particular banner/photo editor name in the Corner. Most of my banners I make for myself and others are used with these sites and if you haven't seen them there in the LEGENDS banner library.

-1st you will want to go to pixlr.com and that's a free photo editor that has most of what Photoshop offers and there's also GIMP which is as good or better than Photoshop. When you get to pixlr.com you will see 3 tall boxes.. The 1st one (butterfly on it) is the photo editor (crop, cut&paste, resize, layer, filter, etc). Pick the desired banner size (height and length) then go to work!




-2nd If you want to add text to your banner you can use picfont.com they have 130+ fonts. Just upload it from your computer then click "text goes here" box it has a ocean seen on it.


examples of some of the fonts.




-3rd you will want to go to postimg.org to get the jpg/jpeg link. you need to sign up for it though but it also serves as another location to save pictures I think it requires a email, username and password no other information is needed. Just upload your banner then click "Upload It!" then it will load the image quick then yell be at another page and below your pic yell see the pictures info.. Copy the direct link then post it in your signature box on Dogfight.





Hope this helps you guys in the art of banner making and it will take sometime to get use to pixlr but all my banners are made with it and there not to horrible! :)and if you know any other good or free websites please share!

thanks I just posted on the banner factory and sent my good friend ice girl a message so if u can find anything thats fine

I found somethin u might like
hows this for a logo

Ok....heres a free easy simple way for window(laptops/desktops) people...
go to bannersnack.com
create ur banner
when u are finished, view the banner in editor mode, using windows handy dandy 'snipping tool' to copy the screen image off of ur browser and save in onto your pc
however, on banner snack, the only way to retreive ur banner through there is to download it as a gif, and then it has a watermark.....everything else u have to be a paid user to do.....but atleast all the editor stuff is free to use.....which is where the snipping comes in handy

thats pretty sick! Now only if there was a hot babe in a camo bikini holding a gun in the front xD

Great info Mr. Becken! I'm gonna have to give this a try sometime. Also, I have been messing around with the Pixlr Express app for android on the Google Play store. I might have to see if this will be user-friendly in making a banner from my tablet, rather than my laptop. I'll post any results if I decide to give it a try!

www.webestools.com › Tools › Generators ok people some of you may have noticed these gif sign banners going around well heres the website and its really easy to do..I use a phone and can make them on there so its really easy and maybe a pc will give you more options!! Just remember after your done doing your banner to download image and get link and copy and paste it and your done!! Easy easy lol good luck look forward to seeing them.

I love that R.I.P. REDS part of your gif banner lol!!
