I love these! Do you mind if I post the KD one from the first page on my LJ? These are gorgeous!

Does anyone have any idea how the banners could be posted to a webpage? Thanks!

you would have to have some html host, like a Photo album or something online. Then you copy the html of the image from the online album and past it on here

I've had good luck with www.photobucket.com for hotlinking images to boards and the like. It even has cut-and-paste links to post in HTML and BBcode. Copy that link and stick it in when you're typing a post.

OK, this is terrible of me, but when I was scanning through the first page of this thread at the original banners, I kind of misread one - it was the Alpha Xi Delta one. It is a beautiful banner, don't get me wrong, but as I was quickly scanning my eye saw the words and I thought, "what kind of motto is about a penis?" Then I saw it is "the pen is mightier than the sword." I thought it was ironic that Alpha Xi's requested a different slogan be used. Maybe they misread it too! :D

irishpipes, you werent the only one

hehehehehehehe

and that bear in it looks kind of flirty

I saw this thread waaaaay back when I first started posting here on GC, and I told myself when I got Photoshop that I would try these....so I've gotten Photoshop, and I've made a couple.

Mine are a lot different than WhiteDaisy's (and I think hers are a lot better, but this is my first try at this). I've modeled these after the "blends" i've done of celebrities.

At the moment i've only done 2....but more are to come---if you all like em.

^I actually made that one for NinjaPoodle (but her's is a little different)


I'll start to do the ones for the rest of the NPC, and if anyone would like any of these "blends" let me know :D

looks good 2 me.

can i get one? let's PM on it.

Is there another way to make banners aside from using Photoshop? I'm a big ol' loser who doesnt have Photoshop and can't really afford to go out and buy it :-( lol

You can get a 30 day free trial of Adobe Photoshop CS2 or Adobe Photoshop Elements 4 on their website. Adobe's website

Also, you could use Jasc Paint Shop Pro, Microsoft Digital Image Pro (DIP), Ulead Photo Impact (PI), Corel Draw or any kind of program that supports .png files & layers.

Just poke around on your computer and see what kind of photo editing software you might have.

But if you decide to buy- Photoshop Elements is awesome, has the capabilities of most things you would need to create banners, and is much less expensive than Photoshop CS2.

These are lovely! What a lot of work you did!

Thanks, I enjoy doing it! Its just another reason for me to go on the internet! hahaha. :D :D

BettyDavisEyes I tried to send you a PM, but your box is full, so here's your Sigma Kappa banner.

Pretty!!

(I should really be offline right now, bunch of tornados in my area... ah well)

Delta Chi banner
 

If someone could do one for Delta Chi, I would be extremely grateful.

Colors- red and buff (like a tannish yellow, kind of)
Our fraternity flower is the white carnation.
A version of the crest can be found on the first page of http://www.deltachi.org/quarterly/su...all_03.pdf.pdf and a crazy 3-D version is at http://www.umich.edu/~deltachi/resou...esources.html, along with the insignia, lower on the page. A black and white version is at http://www.fredonia.edu/sa/Dchi/imag...at-of-arms.jpg and a better version of the insignia is at http://www.deltachi.org/cgi-local/So...47a+1142301017 .
Motto - Leges, the latin word for Law
Slogan - "Tradition. Character."
We were founded at Cornell in 1890 as a law fraternity
A picture of the fraternity flag is shown at http://www.deltachi.org/cgi-local/So...47a+1142283447

I didn't want to clog anyone's PM mailbox, and figured a lot of you might enjoy some trivia. ;)

SOOOO, i downloaded Photoshop CE and was all excited about creating some fun banners, until I realized that Photoshop is my nemesis....I just can't seem to figure it out! I tried some of the links that were posted in this thread, to find directions to make banners, but none of them worked :-(

Can anyone help me? (I'm not so saavy when it comes to photoshop jargon, so laymans terms are necessary!)

Thanks!

ps: I'm still on my little high from Initiating our Gamma Class last night :-) SOOOOO Exciting :-)

For all the people who sent me a PM, I finished all yours and sent them to you---if by chance i didn't send you yours, please let me know.

I haven't been able to make a lot, because I got into a major car accident (i'm alright, but my car isn't) so i didn't have a lot of time to spend on Photoshop.

Here is another NPC:
