I'll move this to the DoW Skinning forum in a minute.

How you do it depends on your graphics package and your personal preference, but basically the steps are:

1) Download the banner wrinkle sheet that Hangar-8 created
2) Make your banner as usual
3) Create a new layer
4) Paste the wrinkle sheet on to that layer
5) Set the layer's blend mode to something like "Overlay" or "Soft Light"
6) Reduce the layer's transparency

All of the steps will vary by application, and steps 5 and 6 can be tweaked to different values depending on the effect you want. There's no "correct" set of values for 5 and 6, so just experiment until you get it right for that banner.

I'm glad the information was useful. Hopefully you'll be able to make and submit some banners from there.

If you want to change your name then just drop me a PM. I can do it from the Admin Control Panel and it means you won't lose your posts (plus it means we won't have a spare account that isn't being used).
