Anyone good with Photoshop?

I'm trying to set up my "studio" on a website called Artfire.com so I can list some of the jewelry pieces I've been making. In my opinion,the whole setup process could be easier for newbies!

Anyway a "banner" at the top of the page is required, yet they don't give you any preset templates to even start from. I did find some basic instructions on Google using Photoshop. I'm still having trouble though (I lack the specific creative element for this!) and was wondering if anyone could help me. I'd really appreciated it!

I see this as a quick and easy project for someone with more creative genius than me and with a better understanding of Photoshop (or other graphic design program).

If anyone is willing to help, please let me know -- PM me if you want to keep it private. I'd be willing to do a little bartering and make you a special something in return for your help.

Here's a link to the instructions I found.

just going out on a limb here so hopefully she doesnt get mad at me but i bet myste would be great at something like that!!

Thanks!

Cool! I think I like the top one best but maybe something to make the words pop a bit more?

Anyone else have any opinions?

THANKS!

Beth, here are a couple more versions. The first two are variations on the one that you liked. The third one is something completely else to show you what else is possible (this time with glitter text). Let me know what you think.

The top two look the same to me? But I'm not see the whole thing either so maybe the differences are on the right side?

yes, just the outline around the heart is different. Sorry, not a huge difference.

I think the glitter text stands out really nice.............

Beth -- can you never see the whole banner? I can see the whole thing in Mozilla, but cut off in IE. Let me know if you have never seen them whole, I will send them to you or you can just download them to your computer.

ah ha! I usually keep my screen settings at both work and home fairly large because I'm nearsighted. Made them smaller and wha-la! There's the whole thing, lol.

Ok, had to go back and look at everything (now that I can actually see it all!). I like the top one of the last post but think that Heart needs to be spelled out, so I'm not sure how that all works out. I like the background of the fuscia one but not so much the glittery letters, or at least the animated part of the glitter letters.

Gosh, I hate to be changing things when you're doing me such a favor! I guess the very first one is most appealing to me overall if you could spell out Heart, put a heart graphic in somewhere, and maybe outline the test or do something to make it stand out more/give it more contrast.

I used to work in public relations/publishing and I got really spoiled because I worked with great graphic artists -- I just let them use their own vision to fit my copy or article. I didn't have to come up with my own ideas! I don't have the artist vision for this, lol.

Thanks!
