Animated Banner

Step 1

Start a new document of size 460x68 pix. Use the foreground colour as #B39E75 and background colour as #EFD8AB.

Use the gradient tool and do a gradient fill as background.

Step 2

Create a new layer and select the electrical Marquee tool and fill it with this gradient.

Now use the following settings in Blending Option. Stroke>1 px Black Colour.

Step 3

Now Create a new layer and use the rectangular marquee tool to select a long rectangle at the bottom and fill it with white colour with a 1 pix black colour stroke. This is what I got.

Now let us fill in the price and some advertisement text. Use a Bold and Colour fill font as the main intention of a banner is to attract the visitors. This is what I have chosen.

Step 4

Now let us create a simple logo for the banner. I just typed a text and used a small icon over it to make a simple logo. Usually your client will give there own logo so you can use it instead.

Step 5

Now it is time for some animation. Type 3-4 ad text and use the visibility mode of the layer to turn them on of off. The visibility mode can make a layer visible or hidden on the canvas. You can select or deselect the visibility anytime by click the "eye icon" on or off.

Now it is time to fire up Image Ready. File>Edit In Image ready (Ctrl+Shift+M ).

In the animation window duplicate the current layer

Now select the layer visibility of the ad text layer to make the first ad text appear and the second layer disappear. This is how to do it.

Now duplicate the existing layer again and make the current ad text disappear and make the new ad text layer visible. Press the play button and this is what I got my animation as.

This is what I got as the Final Result. Hope you liked the tutorial.
