Graphics help!

[hubovetz]

Hi, I have no idea at all about graphics, not even which program to use to make somthing like the VodaHost banner in the corner.

What I am trying to to do for my page is a header like we had in our former page. All I have is a thumbnail of it. Nobody seems to know exactly who created it or where to get the photos that were used.

Also how can I take or change a photos that was taken to 800x200?

Any help will be greatly apreciated, also if somebody can tell me how & with which program to make a logo.

Re: Graphics help!

You need image software

You can also use a pic resizer to resize your pics.. if you go to the downloads page theres a free one there..or used to be.

Re: Graphics help!

Thanks Karen,
I already have pic resizer, will try to follow the link you gave later. My problem has been, as you yourself commented, the pics will be scaled. How do I change a normal pic to 800x200 without it getting distorted or do I need to start with a pic in panorama format?

Thanks Ed,
I may not have stated my question clearly...I have the BV / VodaHost banners. What I want to know is how do I or what program do I need to create these type of graphics(bv banner, firefox banner, google or yahoo logos)? Tried it with the paint program that comes with windows but that does not work. Any suggestions?
