All right. as you all now, Nagashi made a great tutorial, which can be found here: http://serebiiforums.com/showthread.php?t=124230. I decided to make a simple one, for people that even had trouble installing photoshop.
Here we go.
step one: Snatch a picture from google that you like. open it in photoshop. crop it so that it is the size of 380x100 or smaller.
All clear so far?
step two: your image probably looks simple. to get rid of the simplicity, pull it through multiple filters (can be found on the top of the screen, on the same row as 'edit'). I reccomend Plastic, Wind, and neon glow (can be set by changing the color). Your image should go through at least 3 filters, 5 should be enough.
Step three: Your image on your banner. Again go to google, click images, and type in a subject you like. before going to step four, make sure youre image has a transperent background.
Step four: Move you image onto your banner. to do so, click the tool that has a rectangle with dotted lines. Don't select it all, it will cause problems, only the part that you will use.
Step five: pull your image through about 2 more filters.
Step six: Almost done! Add some text(click the button with 'T' on it). I cannot reccomend any fonts but Verdana.
Congrats, You should have a simple, yet nice banner on your screen!
Extra defenitions:
Color: can be changed by clicking the top colored square which is down the control pannel
Filter: something thats adds a taste to a image
Transparent Background: an image without a white, or any other colored background
Good Luck!
