Zeta Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 Hey folks really simple banner this time to find out how to do something. Al I really did was crop a picture and put it into a banner. How do you make nifty looking banner borders? Like, a border that has a line going through the middle around it. Do you know what i mean? I have looked at tutorials and everything, but they talk about things I don't even know how to get to on PS, version 7 by the way. I was wondering if there was a real easy way?

Zeta Posted September 6, 2004 Author Share Posted September 6, 2004 Yeah, I know what it is, lol. I just slapped it together to see if anyone could help me with my question concerning borders. Just a quick banner so people can see what I am talking about. And now that I look at it, it seems as if the border doesn't even go along the top and bottom? Anyone else see this?

Korey Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 [COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]you could make the banner a little bigger. Its a good image from the movie ( i presume?) also the colors are maybe a little too dark for my eyes to see. also some parts of the text are a little difficult to read (since they are in black) my advice to you would be to change the text color or border it with a lighter color with a shadow effect. Also lighten the image up just a tad, anymore and it might be a little too much. otherwise it is a good banner. use it![/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 [color=#707875]In regard to borders...it depends exactly what kind you want to use. Borders are really easy to make though. In fact, they're probably the easiest part of the image, once you get the hang of 'em. I am not using Photoshop, so I could only tell you what I do in Paint Shop Pro. But I assume that the process is similar. When I make a banner I choose my dimensions and make my image as usual, but to do borders, I actually use rectangles (with stroke and no fill -- usually one pixel thickness on the stroke). That way you can have, say...a black outer border, and then a white inner one (like many of the avatars here at OB). Or, you can do all sorts of other things. For instance, in PSP, you can create many different types of stroke styles on your objects (ie: broken lines, diamonds or something more complex, like actual little shapes that follow the line). Generally my borders are nothing too elaborate. I just like to play around with different types of lines, usually.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
