Help Is Needed
« on: October 12, 2010, 09:01:07 PM »
So I had this posted on the main site and I'm not allowed to do that...ooops. I honestly didn't know I wasn't allowed to do that.

So this is what I need help with.

I would love to make banners for some of my stories. However, I do not have access to photoshop or any other  program that would help me make them.

So if any of you would be willing to make banners for me I will give you full credit for making them and I will (if you want) make you a character in a future story.

You're in luck, we have a list for such things ... http://absolutechaos.net/fictalk/index.php/topic,2168.0.html

I know there are some free Photoshop-like programs online.  I haven't used any of these myself, but check out this list; you might be able to play around and make your own banners for free.

I recommend Paint.NET for making banners!  It's really easy to use :)

My friend uses Picnik and makes some really good stuff.  I use photoshop CS5 and could make banners, but mine are usually quite simple as I'm lazy!

I've never made a banner for myself before. picnik is a really good site to use though. It's really easy to use too.

I've never used it but my friend does.  I just stick to photoshop because that's what I know.
