Banner Making Tips

DanSoup

- Make sure you can read what it says on the banner. You can do this by using a shadow on a text, a dark outline on it and/ or a good contrasting colour.
- Use an interesting image for the background, so someone could easily tell what game it's for.
- Try to use a different image for multiple banners, otherwise they just tend to look the same.
- Try to keep your banner to a round value. 40px high seems to be the standard, but width is variable. Most use 300px, but I use 250px as it is more manageable in a signature (you can have three different banners across, like in my current sig.)
- I know everyone says this, but have fun doing it. You don't need any fancy programs (hell, I use Microsoft Paint to make mine

), and with a bit of practice you could be making nice looking banners.

I would grab the L4D ones, but I can't find a way on how to get "Nothing Special", the ONLY achievement I need.

Also, someone should make a CoD WaW Veteran Completed banner as well.

Yay, finally, a banner I actually have earned.... (maybe throw a 251/251 for 2nd gen poke club?)

EDIT: Maybe you can make some banners for the battle frontier (symbol related maybe?)

I might do even more Pokemon ones, but I went ahead and made symbols ones.

I'm wondering if I can use the complete pokedex one because in my old diamond save I had 493/493 in the dex. Hmmm...

If you didn't cheat (besides maybe events) it counts.
