Create your own banner without having to resort in complicated external graphics tool.

Example

Banner

 

To create a banner:

1. Insert an image on which text will be added. In this example, we used a banner image in Clip Art.
Namo WebEditor 4 comes with over 8,300 clip art images to help you find the banner, button, bullet, or icon you need for any occasion.

2. Select the image and choose [Image > Image Effect...] in the Insert menu.

3. Image Effect dialog box appears. Select Add Text tab.

4. Enter text to add to the banner. In this example we insert dark colored text to give shadow effect to the text.
Remember the attributes of the text such as font type, size, and style to be used, to enter the actual text to be shown again.

Add Shadow Text

5. Press OK to save and check the image with the shadow text.

6. We created the shadow of the text in the previous steps. Now, enter the same text again over the shadow. Set the font type, size and style as in the previous step. In order to give shadow effect, enter slightly different value to the coordinates from the values of step 4.
In this example, the coordinates of the text is moved by 3 pixels for X axis and 4 pixels for Y axis.

Add Text

7. Press OK and check the result in the Edit window.
