At last a decent video that actually shows you what to do

Whenever I’m having an event, particularly a party for the kids, I love to create a banner.  It is fun to stretch out a large sheet of butcher block paper, and have everyone work on it along with pens, pencils, paints, stencils, and glitter to create a banner which will show everybody where the important event is.  I first got the idea from going to my 5 year old’s preschool open house, where all of the youngsters created banners about who they may be. 

I didn’t get to observe my kid create a banner, but I could tell that he had had plenty of fun doing it!  His banner showed are house, his parents and tiny sister, his best pal, his dog, and his favorite hobbies.  There he was, curled up in an imaginatively drawn chair, in my lap, sharing a picture book.  It actually touched my heart and made me wish to create a banner with him, where we might have an experience bonding and sharing ideas about our life, so on the week before his very next birthday, I returned home with some butcher block paper, and we got to work. 

Naturally, being involved in Internet commerce, banners are more than the way I bond with my toddler.  Every time I start a new e-business, I need to make a banner for my internet site.  There are a variety of different software options for doing this, but truly, if you know your way round the PC, and already have web-design software, there’s no need to buy special banner making software.  You can create a banner out of any photographs, animated or otherwise, and good old Photoshop, mixed with a search engine and a faithful scanner has always worked good enough for me. 

It’s mad to bother to form a banner with animated gifs and flashing colors, as it will just look annoying and grating to somebody, and they will probably close it outright.  The best banners have a more subdued, tasteful appearance to them, and try and earn the sympathy of the viewer, rather than clobbering them over the head and making an attempt to force them to buy what your selling.  Before I make a banner, I think about my audience and what sort of images they are most likely to appreciate.  Then I’ll create a banner that will appeal to them and their tastes.
