Hello everybody! I thought I'd 显示 你 how I make simple club banners. I'm kind of a beginner at it, but hey, they get the job done. XP Here we go:
1. First, I gather a few 图片 relating to the club- usually at least 6.
2. Then I open Paint and use "Fill with color" to paint the entire screen one color. I prefer light pink, as it hurts my eyes less than other colors.
3. Next, I use "Select" to select a box that's 800x100 pixels. Then I click the tab under "Select", then choose "Delete." The white box remaining will be a guideline for the banner.
4. To put other pictures into Paint, I go to the tab under "Paste" and select "Paste from."
5. Now I can choose the first image.
6. As 你 can see, the image is too big to fit in the banner. Not to worry- I can just click "Resize" to make it the right size.
7. If an image is too big, I go to "Resize", then choose "Pixels." I set "Vertical" to 100 pixels so the image will be small enough to fit in the banner.
8. Then I align the picture so it's in the right place in the banner.
9. Then I repeat steps 4-8 until all the pictures I want are in the banner.
10. If the banner still has some room left over, like this one, I like to fill the empty 太空 with one color and use "Text" to add something related to the club in another color. The Segoe fonts are my favorites, but 你 can use whatever font 你 like.
11. Then I use "Select" to draw a box around the banner, making sure it's 800x100 pixels, then click "Crop."
12. Now the banner is ready to save.
13. If the banner is for a club 你 created, then go to the club the banner is for, click "edit club", and 上传 your banner.
If 你 didn't create the club, 你 can 上传 the banner to the club as a suggestion.
And there 你 have it! A basic banner-making tutorial. ^u^
A few side notes:
Not all my banners turn out like this- sometimes there's only a tiny bit of room left, in which case I like to make a little bar on eack side and color the bars. Then I add some text over the pictures. An example:
或者 sometimes the pictures take up too much space, in which case I have to use "Select" to grab parts of the banner and drag them around to cut off parts of some pictures and kinda squish them together more. XP Then when I crop it too 800x100 pixels, there might still be a really teeny-tiny bit of 太空 left because I might have squished the pictures a little too much... I just fill that in. Those don't turn out as well as the others... >u< Like this one:
或者 sometimes instead of text, I'll add a picture 或者 two with words in it... I have to mess around with resizing a little 更多 for those- keep trying different pixel sizes in both "Horizontal" and "Vertical" until it fits. XP Sometimes I even have to stretch the picture(to do that, uncheck the "Maintain aspect ratio" box). Like with this one:
Well, I better stop blabbering now... XD Have fun making your own banners! :)
