I haven't mastered animation, yet, but I do know how to do it.
If you want animation, it'll have to be really simple, and it'll probably suck. Just warning you.

Here's my latest example:

I make these on either Gimp/Photshop Elements.
I usually animate on Gimp.

Just fill out this form:

Username:
Background Image:
Creatu/Other Image:
Font: [Optional]
Text:
Animation?: [yes or no. May not do it.]
Other?:
Tip?: [yes or no.]

Thanks for ordering!
By the way, I don't brand by putting my username or a copyright sign on your banner!
I think it's useless and stupid! So I don't do it. :D

You didn't complete the form, but I suppose I will do it anyway. In the future, please fill out all the form. :D
