"Naomi" Banners

So, Dawn Zhang was the second person to ask for banners, this time to promote her story "Naomi" which is now available to read on WEbook.com. Go check it out if you get the chance. Any of the banners below will connect you to the page.

Originally, Dawn had this very pretty and dark picture of a girl holding a rose (It's currently the main cover for her book) but the image was unfortunately too small and I wasn't able to turn in into a banner without the image pixilating. However, I told her not to worry because I could replicate the same feel wtih different pictures. All three banners have at least three to five pictures that I layered on top of eachother in order to get the full effect. Then, I inserted the text which is the name of the story, "Naomi," and a poem Dawn really wanted on it as well. Enjoy!

"Entry into the Unfamiliar" Banners

Matt was the first person to ask for banners for his blog "Entry into the Unfamiliar." I've known Matt for a little while now so it was important to get the information on what he wanted on the banner and then finish them quickly for him. Each banner is pretty different. The first is actually a piece of concept art Matt doodled. The second, I found. It feels a little dark, but I think it can be interpretted in many different ways. Plus, you can't be a writer without being a bit dramatic. :) The third is from one of Matt's landscape pictures.

I personally loved how they turned out, and hopefully he will as well.

PS. All three banners will magically link you directly to Matt's blog. (That's what they're made for!)

PPS. The offer still stands for anyone else who would like banners made for their blog or website. Just leave me a comment and we'll talk about what to make you. :)

"WYE?" Banners

I remember making tons of these when I was into forums. I'd make banners for forum moderators so that people who came across their profiles could simply click on a banner and "BAM!" it would send them straight to the moderator's forum. So, I thought, why not do the same for blogs!

The two images at the bottom of this post are rather simple banners I created for my own blog (Hopefully you all can see them considering it took me a while to figure this all out again. If all you see are some strange computer codes that make almost no sense, it didn't work and I'm trying to fix it.)

There are a lot of different things you can do with these, but it usually starts with a picture, you add some text, sprinkle some virtual magic fairy dust and Bibbity-Boppity-Boo! you have a banner that will teleport all who click on it to your blog. :)

I'm going to keep making a few here and there just to do a bit of advertising, so if anyone is interested in having one made for any of their websites, just let me know. I'd be happy to throw one together for you!

What do you think?
