Web Banner

The software the school had to make the banner was called, Gimp. This programme is a cheaper version of photoshop so it has the same features as Photoshop but not all. As a photography student i am very familiar with Photoshop however when trying to use GIMP, i found it a little frustrating because i did not recognise the icons and know exactly how they worked. I made many attempts to try and create my banner using GIMP but i got too wound up.

So i then went home and searched for a decent web banner creator and found a site called MyBannerMaker and proceeded to produce my banner. This was my outcome;

I was very pleased with my outcome especially as i had limited features such as font and the ability to put links such as Facebook, Twitter and Youtube icons. However i could still manage to do this when i put the banner into the website. I will have to use the banner as an image and add extras such as the links and text to lay over the top. 

Incase of this banner not working i am going to produce another on another software that i have downloaded on my own computer called 'PhotoImpact10'. If both of the banners are successful then i will choose the one that i think is the best to promote my artist.
