    Post Customizable Banners for Gimp with Tutorial

    So, i finally prepared the customizable banners i made for the Aug/Sept Lite Challenge. You can find the .xcf files in the attached .zip folder together with a tutorial, explaining the customization process step by step. The idea is to import your own symbol/emblem/coat of arms (not sure what is the exact term ) into the Banner files. For each banner there are multiple premade colored banners to choose from, or just color it the way you like...
    Here you can see a picture of the banners with my own symbol on.

    And here is the tut, if you want to take a look first, wether it might be of some use to you.

    Hope you enjoy it!
    Feedback is, as always, very welcome.
    Cheers,
    AL

    EDIT: I added a zip folder with the banner files in .psd format. No guarantee that they'll work, but if a fellow PS user could spare the time too take a look and give me a short feedback i'd greatly appreciate it!

    @Chickpea Thanks for the rep, much appreciated. Also, for all the great effort you put into spreading the word of this great community lately, i'll say thank you with another evocation of the mighty Stripy Pink Kitty of Doom, one example of how you can put this customization to work

    Heehee, I'm laughing all over again at this!! Fear the wrath of the Pink Stripy Kitty of Doom, minions!! (I better be quiet or Alien Overlord Bogie will be displeased!)

    But, yes, well done again for a great tut.

    Hahaha, yes, all fear the army of doom!

    One of these days I'll create my first battlemap and it'll feature the Stripy Pink Kitty Army of Doom™
