How to make a banner?

Step number 1:
Open up a web page and navigate to Google



Step number 2:
In the Google search bar search for mybannermaker. Click on the first result that appears (see above). Once you have loaded up the new page proceed on to the next step.




Step number 3:
Now you should have a page looking like the one above^^^. Here you can chose the size of the header you would like to make. In this case I chose 728x90 which is the average header size. once you have picked the size click on 'background' on the tab of options just below the header preview. Once you have done this proceed on to the next step.



Step number 4:
On this page you can browse through the background colors and pick the one that best suites you. If you would rather pick a picture of your own to set as the background then just click on the browse button down the bottom of the screen and chose your picture. Once you have a color that suites click 'Text' and proceed to the next step


Step number 5:
Now this page is probably one of the most important steps as you will be choosing what your header reads. You can pick anything you want. Go on.
Once you have put down the text you want you can add other text above or below the main one. once you have finished editing your style and size of the text please proceed on to the next step.


Step number 6:
On this step you will putting a border on your header (if you want to that is). You can pick which color you would like and also the width of the border. Once you have chosen this click on the effects tab and proceed on to step 7


Step number 7:
In this step you can funk your header up. Chose from one of the effects in the drop down list. you can chose the intensity of the effect just below the drop down bar. Once this is done proceed on to the save tab and also on to step number 8


Step number 8:
Yes you are nearing the end of creating your master piece. As you will see after you have clicked on save it will come up with a list of ways you can save your banner as. For the most simple way you can just click download. (this will download the header to your computer so you can upload it to where ever you want). Once you have selected the way you would like to save your header scroll down to the bottom and hit 'save the banner'. Once you have done this proceed on to step number 9

Step number 9:
Lucky last step once you have the best looking banner EVER you can download it to your computer.


I hope you have enjoyed this blog on how to make a banner using mybannermaker. Thanks

Why I chose media this semester?

Why I chose Media? I chose media this semester because I really didn't do too well last semester. This semester I hope to do a lot better in media this semester. I really want to do better this semester but it is not the only reason I chose media. I have access to my own computer. This makes it easier to do subjects like media because it is usually computer based. e.g. this week. If I have to do something with pen and paper I can do it then scan the work on to my computer.
I also really didn't want to do some of the other subjects which made it really easy to decide that I wanted to do media. As I would rather do this than something like science. Half way through last semester I lost my Pirates of the Caribbean disc. This cause all types of problems first we tore the house apart looking for it. Mum bit the bullet and bought it but to he surprise we found it the week later under my bed.
This semester I hope to learn a lot more. I don't really have anything specific I would like to learn because I take every week as it goes. When I get into higher years I would like to become an electrician. And as my media teacher said to me last semester I will probably have to create fliers and maybe even a web page if I get my own business. Media has a lot more to do with electricity then most of my other subjects.This basically sums up why I chose Media and even some of my experiences in media.
