See the fancy advertising banners at the top of the page?

Just how do you make them?
Do they need to be a specific size, is there a standard?
help lol!!
Am very tempted to create a collage type affair of products/services but how on earth do you take them from there original photos and place in banner.

(any advice relating to pasint shop pro would be handy as adobe photoshop 7 just doesnt want to install :()

Most websites that support banners have a maximum image size and dimensions. (download one to get a rough idea) PSP does fine, create several images and then yYou need to use the animation shop part to glue em together.

cheers for that lan, so basically draw several then string together thru animation shop, makes sense.

The only other thing is how do i take photos of seperate products then get them all on banner together overlapping each other, say if you had keyboards, mice, speakers etc.

How would i take the seperate images, copy it to the banner, then overlap each other as if they are piled up without it looking a dogs breakfast?

Was written for me. Nice images with no need to have artistic talent.

The banners you see at the top are 468x60 and that despite being an odd size is a standard size. Our guy who does ad banners is given 12K maximum for such a banner, so as you can see some of the ones on here are waaay over the top.

Edit to say I just saw a 33K one :eek:, afterburner exhaust, shouldn't simon have some limit on how big these banners are?
