Banner battle: TaylorSwift vs. WiccanWillow91

[LoveLoveLovix]

Stupid GIMP don't wanna be downloaded...

 

[WiccanWillow91]

I came up with this. 😀

 

[TaylorSwift]

I LOVE IT! You fulfilled the challenge perfectly! I wanted to add...shall we do five rounds? And also, you should post a challenge now so I can give you mine and we'll do our banners at the same time! 😉

 

[WiccanWillow91]

Oh god! Five rounds?!?!?!?!?

Sure 😛😛

Ok, now that I think about it... I have no clue what a texture or how to use it in my banner. Can some one who uses Photoshop tell me where it is so I can figure it out?

A texture is usally a jpeg that is placed over your picture to create a subtle pattern on the picture. You can find some here: http://browse.deviantart.com/resources/textures/
Just click on one that u like, and hit the download button
To use textures, bascially just drag the texture jpeg into ur signature and resise it so it fits how you want. You want the texture to be covering all of the other layers that you want this effect on. Then go to the layer panel, and click on the texture layer. You should see a small rectangle on the top of the layer panel that says "normal" (it's right next to the opacity one). Click the little arrow so that a whole list of effects drops down. You can just play with them, and see which one you like best. These effects should make the texture overlayed on your signature, giving a kinda patterned look. I usally use the "overlay" or "soft light" effect for textures, but it's good to experiment to see what looks best with ur sig. If you just want some of ur sig to be affected by the texture, you can erase some of the texture layer however u want.
Good luck, I hope this was helpful!

Are we doing our new banners in the same thread? Or starting another one?

Awesome! Ok so, new challenge!

-Must use one Character from both Angel and Buffy, but cannot use Angel or Buffy. (Teehee this should interesting)
-Use a quote from Buffy season 7
-Have one male and one female.

Shouldn't be too hard, but should be interesting to see who you use 😛

So I should use two characters, one female and one male, both of which starred in Buffy and Angel but not Bangel..right? Ok..this is a great challenge, I'll get right on it tomorrow morning. Here's yours!


-Use Xander and Buffy together
-No textures
-At least one brush (if you wanna what they are, otherwise "add green text)
-At least three pictures

Here's the next challenge for you.


-Bangel banner

-Use purple and white
-Use two pictures

LoveLoveLovix agrees: Those really are the perfect lyrics... I love this! Good job!

Thank you sweetie! 🙂

 

[WiccanWillow91]

Not my best, but I like my song choice.

 

[TaylorSwift]

Not my best, but I like my song choice.

Awww I love the pictures you used...and the song..Breathe is really a beautiful song from Tay and it's clearly fitting with Bangel A LOT..actually it's "without" not "with" (yeah, I know I'm annoying) but that's still an awesome banner! Your turn for the challenge..round 4! BTW, love the font..what is it?

 

[WiccanWillow91]

Wow... Epic fail on the lyrics on my banner lolz!

Round 4:

-Must be Dawn/Conner (I love that pairing)
-Must use more then three colors (your choice)
-Use lyrics from Katy Perry
-At lease three pictures

Have fun!

-They have to be from "Just Rewards" episode
-Use Nirvana lyrics
-Dark colours

I admit this was very hard to do...I managed to do four colors using a little bit of pink, yellow/golf for sparkles, light blue and purple for lyrics..phew! But it was also hard to find pictures...in the end, I'm pretty satisfied with this.

It's AWESOME!! I love it!!

 

[WiccanWillow91]

So this is offically the worst banner I've ever done... This one was really hard to do since I was limited to use pics for just one episode. Sooo here it is.
