Please tell us how you make your banner and dividers

hi nonnie! i'd be happy to do so. there's a variety of ways I go about doing it - but i'll post a small example under the cut ( using the extremely bare minimums of a dainsleif divider as an example )

in terms of dividers - i usually start out with a blank photoshop canvas at 540 px by 100 px, sometimes a little taller, or a little less tall. but never any wider otherwise tumblr makes it look fucky wucky.

the most important things for dividers is your... well, divider part. it's best to just start out with a simple rectangle. we can adjust this at any point but for now i've just made a little blue one. everyone's preferences are different, but i like my rectangles to be about 3 px tall. note: i always like to have a background layer included while working, because it helps with visualization of your stuff.

now the hardest part of the dividers is well... the elements. we need them to be transparent and clear and in our case, form a somewhat cohesive vision. what i like to do is visit various reference archives ( 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ) and pull in game assets if you can. a good place to get just... general assets ( like flowers and shit ) like clipart is etsy, or if you can find free to use and it's not stealing - even pinterest/canva. if the asset is already cut out? even better. if not... well. cut it out and enjoy the suffering ig. but it needs to be on a transparent background for this to work.

in our example, dragaliareferencearchive provided us with a very lovely high rez asset of mr. dainsleif with which i chopped out some elements and will be making use of. say hi to dainsleif, everyone!

what i like to do is go in - use the lasso tool, and just draw around the elements i went to yoinky over. i hit ctrl c - go back to my divider canvas, and paste. at that point you just resize it however you want.

note: i shrunk down the rectangle a bit.

now that we have an element. added on one side - lets make the rectangle look a little fancier. duplicate the rectangle layer, and add a stroke while removing fill. drag it down just slightly, and you've got... more rectangle. wahoo.

do that as many times as you want.

cool great, now we have more rectangles. at this point i'd probably add some more elements (stars and shit idk) and some text. one of my favorite things to do is create a small rectangle and smack some white or black text on it. looks poppin.

dope words, dainsleif.

next, i slap a psd on it.... or i make my own. if you're going to slap a psd on it, remember to credit the creator per their rules! in this case we'll use one i have laying about - jaynedit's fable hope. smack that shit on your layers.

NOTE: I highly advise keeping you text on your dividers / icons / shit ABOVE your PSD layer. sometimes psd's make the text look crunchy. we don't like that. no crunchies on our dividers.

at this point i'd probably apply some masks and shit but that's too complex for me to teach and also i'm starting to get hungry so lets wrap this shit up. i finalize all my dividers by grouping things into neat layers and labeling them because i'm a chronic... remaker.

now the next part is very important. tumblr REALLY likes to make shit blurry as hell lately. So we sharpen to combat that. go ahead and select one of your elements in the layers panel - go up to filter - > convert to smart filters. go BACK up to filters - > sharpen - > sharpen. i do this for every single layer, including the text.

after that. i simply save the psd, and then export the divider itself (WITHOUT THE BACKGROUND LAYER TOGGLED ON) as a png. and voila!

a very crappy very quickly made divider.

please note that i am like... not formally trained in photoshop at all. i'm actually an idiot and my beloved partner helps me a lot. but if you have any specific questions, i'm happy to answer them. mwah mwah happy graphicing.
