Tips and Tricks: Creating Ribbon Banners

Creating Ribbon Banners

Ribbon banners like the one you see in the card example above (“Do Not Wait”) remain popular design elements. You can buy or sometimes download free CU4CU brushes or vector sets with these elements, but you could also learn to do it yourself. Here are links to some helpful tutorials that we hope will inspire and help you in your design work.

We haven’t found tutorials for PSP  or Gimp. If anybody has a link, please let us know in the comments. Thanks! And everybody else, have fun.
