<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
13. Add name. I used Sverige Script Decorated, size 50 #833d7f, with 2px stroke black.<br />
<br />
14. Add drop shadow to all elements if desired.<br />
<br />
15. Open Paper4Purple-GI_DOTN, resize 600 x 600 px, copy and paste to canvas.<br />
<br />

Program of choice (this tutorial was written specifically for Photoshop users)<br />
<br />
Don't forget to save frequently! *Note I didn't put how much I resized elements, since you might want to play with the sizes.<br />
<br />
1. Open THD_ForumSetBanner template, change canvas size to 599w x 425h px (Alt+Ctrl+C).<br />
<br />
2. Delete Info layer.<br />
<br />
3. Select remaining layers and down slightly, your canvas should look like this (click to see larger image):<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-V1Zc2A457HU/T8ee7z00nTI/AAAAAAAABqs/Y5ljzOuQYTY/s1600/AGothicObsessionScreenshot1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="250" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-V1Zc2A457HU/T8ee7z00nTI/AAAAAAAABqs/Y5ljzOuQYTY/s400/AGothicObsessionScreenshot1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
4. Open paper 1, resize to 600 x 600 px. Copy and paste to canvas above blue circle 2. Create clipping mask. (Right-click layer and select "Create Clipping Mask".)<br />
<br />
5. Open tube, copy and paste to canvas above previous layer, position on the right side. Create clipping mask. Change blending mode to "Soft Light".<br />
<br />
6. Duplicate layer and position on the left side. Flip Horizontally (Edit->Transform->Flip Horizontal). Create clipping mask.<br />
<br />
7. Open gothic e24, copy and paste to canvas above Previous layer. Position on the left. Create clipping mask.<br />
<br />
8. Duplicate layer and position on the right side. Create clipping mask.<br />
<br />
9. On the right side, I placed these elements in this order and resized each as shown. Create clipping mask after each one:<br />
<br />
gothic e40, duplicated once<br />
gothic e34, duplicate and select "overlay" blend mode then merge down<br />
Duplicate above layer 3 times<br />
gothic e17, duplicated once<br />
gothic e4<br />
gothic e11<br />
gothic e7, duplcate layer and select "Overlay" blend mode<br />
gothic e9<br />
gothic e40<br />
gothic e27<br />
gothic e35<br />
gothic e28<br />
<br />
10. When positioned as desired, merge the layers in step 9.<br />
<br />
11. Open gothic e36, copy and paste to canvas. Create clipping mask.<br />
<br />
12. Duplicate layer with cluster of elements, flip horizontally and position on the right side.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
13. Change the color of the frames if desired. You can use a paper or flood fill a layer and create clipping mask, or you can use a color overlay (in the layer styles).<br />
<br />
14. Open tube, resize so it fits canvas, no larger than 420 px in height. Copy and paste to canvas. Position as desired.<br />
<br />
15. Add name. I used Angelic War 72 pt black with 2px stroke #780000 (blend mode of stroke set to "Hard Light").<br />
<br />
16. Add drop shadow to layers if desired.<br />
<br />
17. Add your watermark, save as .png and you are finished with the banner!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Avi (very easy once banner is completed)<br />
<br />
1. Open THD_ForumSetAvi Template.<br />
<br />
2. Select these layers from the banner: both background layers and one of the clusters.<br />
<br />
3. With two background layers selected, resize to fit (Ctrl+T, lock aspect ratio and drag inwards at corner)<br />
