How do i make a banner for my signature?

It would be great if someone could tell me how to make one of those forum banners that say "whatever" user. Like i've seen one that says Zune user and firefox user. I play ssbm so mine will prolly say samus user.

you will need PS or PSP for that.. 300 width, 17 height... graident the background, put a stiped pattern overlay on it, get out the elliptical marquee tool out, and cover a little less then half the image with white, lower the opacity to about 15, down load the font "Bitdust" then put whatever you want in black on the right side in size 8-10 font, out a 1 pt strole of white on the word, then get you image, put it under the white layer with the 15 op. and put a white outer glow on it. =).. to get to the outglow/stroke options, right click on a layber, then click blending options.
