Making a banner

  • Make sure and have the 'FREELOADER' on a F-key. Also have the 'ImageMagick' also on a F-key.

  • Take the following image:

    To get the url, click the image and hit your GO TO key at the top of your keyboard. Then hit, SHOW LAST. The url will then be in the long box. When your censor is up in the long box, hit your CMD & A key and the whole line will be hightlighted. Now hit your CMD & C key.

  • Now after you have that graphic from doing the CMD & C thing, hit your F-key where the 'ImageMagick' is stored at. Paste that url on that page in the 2nd long box and hit VIEW.

  • Now at the top of the next page you will see all kinds of buttons. Hit the one that says: RESIZE. On that next page, erase what it says in the small long box. Type in for example: 300x90! - don't forget to put in the ! mark. This will make the graphic the exact size typed in. Now click on the red circle so it is in the SAMPLE word. Now hit RESIZE, under all those words.

  • On the next page, depending if you want to just write some letters on the banner or put a picture on it, we will first start by just putting words on the banner. So now go to the top of the page and hit the button that says: ANNOTATE.

  • On that next page, you will see a large box that should have the word 'white' in it, just erase that word. It is only the last part of the image url. Now type in what you want to say on the banner. Let's just work with my name - POODOO - If you want you can take the time to check out all of the different fonts by clicking on the word: FONTS and it will show you the different ones. Once you decide which font, decide what color. If you put in a color number, be sure to put it in with the # first, like black's color would be #000000 - if you leave off the # part, it might not work. Now go down alittle more on the page and decide how big you want it to be. Just change that number.

  • Once you have what you want, for now erase the numbers if any are in the small box that is to the left of the button that says the directions, like Northwest, North, Northeast, etc...just put it to CENTER.
  • Now click on the ANNOTATE button just below that, NOT the one on the top of the page.

  • On the next page, scroll down to see the graphic, and if you don't like the font or color or where it is on the banner, or the size, just backpage and adjust to different size, color, etc. Otherwise if you like it, you can now put a border around it by hitting the DECORATE button at the top of the page.

  • Change the size of the border if you want by erasing the 15x15, make it bigger or smaller, and change the color if you want. Remember to put in the # first. Now for the border, you have to put the red button to the word BORDER. Once you have what you want, hit DECORATE under all that.

  • Now if you have what you want, on the next page at the top, hit OUTPUT.

  • Now on the next page, make it a gif or jpg but clicking that word in the box. Now make it a SINGLE file. Now hit the word OUTPUT, but the one below all that, NOT the one at the top.

  • Next page you should see a small graphic of what you made. Click it on and when it comes up by itself on the screen, hit your F-key for the 'FREELOADER' and your done!

  • Going back a few steps. Say you want to put a picture on the banner. After you get the right size banner, hit the word COMPOSITE. If you have a graphic that you want on the banner and know the url for it, type it in the long box.

  • You will have to adjust where you want the graphic to go on the banner. If you put it NORTHWEST, that will be on the left of the banner, but you also have to put how far from the side and top of the banner you want it to go by doing this: +20+30 - the first +20 is how far left to right of the edge it will go, and the +30 is how far from the top it will go. Change these numbers if you don't like where it went by just backpaging each time. If the graphic is to big for the banner, you might have to take the url of the graphic first to the very beginning before your resize the white banner, and when the graphic comes up the size of that graphic will show up on the bottom of your screen. If it doesn't hit your CMD & R key until it does. Now resize the graphic like I told you how when making the banner. Once resized, you have to hit OUTPUT and make it a gif or jpg, and then click on the finished resized graphic until it shows up on your screen by itself. Now you can transload it if you want, but what I do sometimes not to take up file space, is when the graphic is on the screen by itself, I just hit the GO TO key on the keyboard and hit SHOW CURRENT and then highlight the whole url and hit my CMD & C key, and then it is cut into my memory of the keyboard, then I go back to the very beginning (sometimes you have to just write on paper url's)... and start with the banner url and then resize it, then hit COMPOSITE, and when on that page, hit CMD & V when my cencor is on the line that has: http on it, but remember to erase that part first and the resized graphic I just made will go in that box. Now just adjust where you want it on the banner.

  • If you want to put a graphic and some words on the banner. First put the graphic on and then once you have it the way you want, hit ANNOTATE and put in the words you want. Adjusting to the right-left-up-or down of the graphic you put on.

  • After like what you see - hit OUTPUT, make it a gif or jpg and transload it.
