Banner creator

[Shaunte]

Hello!

Would anyone happen to have a suggestion for easy to use banner creator that will allow me to layer a graphic over a solid background and add custom font? I found a lot of links online, but none seem to offer these options. Online or download (Mac-compatible) is fine.

Thanks!

I think I've used Print Shop in the past to do it, but the last time I did one was several years ago. It was inexpensive and easy to learn. I was using it on a Windows machine. You need to be sure that you have a printer capable of using banner paper - not all of them can.

Shira, thanks so much for the info! You're talking about poster banners, no? I should have been more clear, I'm actually referring to the online banners/buttons for advertisement purposes......

Ah, you're right, I was talking about the banners you print on paper and post all over the place! I'll defer to others for the online banners. I use Adobe Photoshop for my web site graphics, but that's because I use Photoshop for lots of other stuff as well. It's so expensive and hard to learn that I wouldn't steer someone to buying it just for something quick like banners and buttons.

Yeah , I considered it but just can't justify the price right now.....
