DNI banner with picture background tutorial!
What I use/what you need (all are free and none need use of any ai features to make as I hate ai)
Canva (for the acutal making)
Pintrest (for character pfps and background images)
First go into Canva and make a custom size design.
Make the dimensions 3,000px x 635px in in the 'create a design menu.
Next for the picture of your character, go to the elements menu and go to 'frames' pick the square frame and set it to 531.8px x 549.8px, you can set it easiest by clicking the frame and then clicking the edit option.
for the colored band around it click 'stroke style' and chose the first option, set the withe to 14 and then choose a color using 'stroke color'
to add your characters picture, copy and paste whatever one you want and copy it, paste it on the design and then drag it into your box (you can change how it fits by clicking the image after and clicking the crop option)
The rectangle behind the text (optional)
go back into the elements menu and go to shapes, pick the square and put it on your design, click on position, then set it to 2366.8px x 549.8px to set the size, then go to the transparency and set it to 62.
chose whatever color you want
Go to text, select whatever type you want after we're done with it it doesn't really matter.
For 'Character Protects this blog SFW interaction only!!' select the text and set it to whatever font you want (I use Cherry bomb one on this part), set the text size to 87 and then go to effects and add chose 'outline' then pick your outline color (I suggest something that makes the text pop)
For 'DNI: pedos, zoos, terfs, transphobes, homophobes, kink blogs and anti agere/petre!' select the text and set it to whatever font you want (I use Sniglet on this part), set the text size to 54, I don't recommend a outline for this one, through trial and error I find it makes it harder to read on tumblr unless you click on it.
go and pick your background picture, copy it and past it into your design, then right click and scroll down till you find 'Set image as background' you can mess with how it sits after that by clicking the image and clicking crop.
Similar to the rest of the text, but you put @/your-user-name-here and set the text size to 43, chose whatever font you want (I use Schoolbell), then choose whatever color (I like the cream), then you use the outline effect on it. Set the transparency to 43.
Once you're done it should look something like this but with your own character and picture and colors!
