Everything you would need for Mission Nine
For this mission members of the hokages room will need to make a banner 375 x 75.Not all members have image editing programs or know hot to make banners.Here ill give you links to programs,tutorials and more so you can make a banner or sig.
Programs
-Gimp - Gimp is a free image editing program. If you dont have photoshop its a great start because it can do most of the stuff photoshop can
http://www.gimp.org/<---Download Gimp here
-Photoshop - Photoshop is the probably the best image editing program out there. Its expensive but there are free trails on the adobe website. There are different versions of photoshop all basically the same. Photoshop can be hard to understand but gets easier with time.
http://www.adobe.com/downloads/<---Download Different Photoshop Versions Here
-PhotoFiltre - Photofiltre is basically a fancy version of MS paint. Althought not as useful as gimp it doesnt take up much space on your computer and it can be used to make simple banners. If you dont want to take up any space download the french zip file. If you know your way around paint then it should still be easy in the french version.

Fonts
There are many sites for fonts out there,here is my favorite site and i think the best font site out there.
The site has many fonts going from halo to naruto,grand theft auto to god father font. They also have other very cool fonts. If you need some go here to install your fonts once there downloaded on your computer go to:
Control Panel > Appearance and Themes > Fonts
Then just drag the font file into the Fonts Folder
Brushes
Brushes are useful for making backgrounds for sigs and banners.Theres alot of brushes on deviantart even naruto brushes.Its the main site i use so i suggest you check it out.
Photoshop Brushes - Here are many good photoshop brushes on deviantart. If you need some check it out.
Installing Photoshop Brushes
Gimp Brushes - Brushes for gimp.Basically the same as photoshop brushes.
Renders
Renders are precut images that people use for sigs. They can be extremely helpful especially if you cant cut images.
Planetrenders.net - Has a krunk load of pre cut images and sprites. To find them just search whatever you want ex.naruto,bleach,kingdom hearts. To download the renders you need to sign up for the site which is no big deal.
