I haven't made any banners in years. What is the preferred art program for making banners?

Thank you!

I use GIMP (a free downloadable program and you can download a lot more add-ons too). Its also really easy to download and install new fonts too.

GIMP is great. I used it for a long time.

I'm a professional graphic designer so I own Photoshop along with the whole Creative Suite.

I use a combination of both GIMP and Paint.net. Both are free downloadable programs. Here is a banner I made a long time ago using those programs.

What format do you save your banners in for upload?

I use PNGs personally because they support transparency and they're naturally a higher resolution than JPGs.

I'm lucky enough to have photoshop CC which is the most current/up-to-date version of the program.

Here is a banner I created earlier this year happy :)
