Right that's a link to a free Demo of the programme that i use to make my art work

Here's what we are going to make -



Firstly, open a new File/docement what ever
-File, new



Then i usually make the dimensions about 525 X 125 Pixels!



Which shoud give you a screen like this -

[Dawny]

Right now we need Pictures to go on to your banner, so click open and search for your pictures



Ok now minimize all the pics apart from the main white banner and the picture your going to start with

[Dawny]

Right click on the picture and copy



Right click on the white banner now, and then move down the list to Paste, and click on - Paste as new Selection



Then move the image around until you have it where you want it to stay and left click.

Ok, now were going to use our next picture, and copy and paste in the same way we did with the first one.
Now at this stage it doesn't matter if we over lap the first picture as the next step will explain.



Ok, i enlarged the banner part a little (using the scroll on my mouse) just makes it easier for me too attempt to see what i'm actually doing.



Then i click on the Eraser tool on the left hand side, and erase the part of the 2nd picture i don't want. (When the prompt appears click ok)

[Dawny]

Right now i've minimised the 2nd picture and i have the 3rd picture up.



I repeat the same steps again, copy, paste, and the same eraser tool again, till we get some thing i little like this



We then want to merge our picture together, this is so we can add other things to the picture like, text and frames and borders etc...

To do this, we go along the tool bar at the top until we get to Layers, then move the cursor down to merge and click on Merge all.



Right that is the end of your basic banner, next it to add other features including text...
