not bad at all Tony

try this. after it's all done,
go Layer - Merge Visible
then layer -> Layer Style -> Stroke
Change to Inside from the drop-down Menu
Change the size and color to whatever you want and you got yourself a border for the banner. Should make it look a bit snazzier
(I assume you use Photoshop. if it's Gimp i can't be of any assistance ^^)

here is collection of all my current brushes
http://adv3rsary.com/data/design/Brushes/

download whichever and put them in c:program files<your Photoshop directory>PresentsBrushes

They should be there next time you open Photoshop ready to use

(although i have only used brushes in 1-2 of those banners I made. None of them are too complicated to make at all. Some were a lot of work but they don't require any kind of advanced knowledge of Photoshop. Just willingness to put in time and find the right renders/backgrounds/fonts.... and then meshing them together with relatively good taste :P)

I agree. I had friends who were design majors and their stuff was ridiculous. For web graphics it just takes a hell of a lot of time. It took me like 4 hours just to do my profile but it was very easy. Just a pain in the ass some times.

downloading Photoshop CS4 now. hope it's even better than cs3 (*Cough* and virus-free) :)

this is what i am looking forward to the most:
"Images can be adjusted in half the time

Making several adjustments in Photoshop CS4 using the new Adjustments panel is more than 200% faster than using Adjustment Layers in previous versions to achieve the same results. "


EDIT: Okay PS CS4 is officially

@tigerz, you should probably make a MAL blog and store your collection/pictures in there
instead of having it on a thread, most people do it this way anyway =)

I just took the password protection off my own renders website. So feel free to leech the crap out of it if you need some renders for your sigs/banners/wallpapers/whatever

there is about 1300 renders currently up for ~70 shows + a Misc section that contains renders from different shows... and i add to it often



enjoy!

okay but i dont expect that much traffic considering it's a new site and no one knows about it :P submission to google will probably take weeks to process. so the only way people can hear about the site right now is this club :)
