Banners

Through out the almost 2 year history of the blog, I have gone through some banners. Before the theme was remade, I made a collage of pictures. The overall result looked so dull that it’s not even funny. The reason being is that I didn’t know most of the functions in Photoshop until I took a course called “Intro to Digital Photography,” which thought me some of the commonly used tools in Photoshop.

In May of 2010, I gotten a bit more creative with the banners and the quality of them went up significantly. Normally, these pictures are taken from cleaned or vectorized scans. I might use fanart in the future (with attribution), but I have yet to do that and its always the last resort.

All the banners are made in Adobe Photoshop. The later ones are done in Photoshop CS5 with the Wacom Bamboo Tablet assisting in cutting out the pictures. Banner’s after May 2010 has a tagline stuck together just for fun.

2009

This is the first banner when I started the blog. It’s really crappy and random.

Its still pretty meh. I should have used the cropping tool…

This was the summer banner of 2009. I don’t think I bothered changing it until February of this year.

2010

This was the banner I made back in February. It’s slightly better than the previous one, but not as good like the next three. This banner was used from February until May.
