only thing i have on comp for making an avatar is ms paint. is there anyway to superimpose text onto your image without having the text box?

i found 4 images that i'm experimenting with making new avatars for all our squad members. i just made the one i'm using now. any comments on it?

anyone?

if its only four images i could put it together for you.

yeah, i found 3 images that i was considering. i would like for each one to have "Pigs On The Wing" with each squad members name on it also. text in pink using Braggadocio font. the way its arranged doesn't matter really. i liked name in upper left and squad name on bottom right, but its only a matter of preference.

is flash free? is there any sort of free software better than paint? if you were to give it a try, i could email you the images. i'd be very gracious.

sent you a pm with email addy.

flash has a free 30 day trial. you can find it at http://www.adobe.com

its a fun program to learn. a bit of a learning curve but not too bad.

probably better programs to do it with i am sure, but its what i use.

Roger Waters would be jealous

I believe the shot of that pig is from Delicate Sound of Thunder during "One Of These Days".
