banner images?
Does anyone know of any tutorials or pointers or something on how to make banner images made from several elements look not lame?
I have been thinking about maybe switching to one of those "expressive" LJ blog-style layouts, but if I do I'd like to have my own custom banner. I thought it might look nice if I'd use some of the pencil drawings I made for my icons and combine them into a banner, but all my attempts look lame, kind of like those atrocious c&p wallpapers made up from several screencaps, where you can see that someone just pasted some random images onto a background.
