A great way to spend a few extra minutes here and there is to create banners. I like to use intense colors to really make the banner stand out. Here are a few of the better ones I've put together over the last five or six years. The banners were created with Adobe PhotoShop, Illustrator and PaintShop Pro. Animations were assembled using Ulead GIF Animator or PaintShop Pro.

Some of the banners are targeted toward certain seasons, products or marketing promotions and others take little jabs at the competition. The puzzle banner was used when National Semiconductor purchased Cyrix. National Semiconductor had state-of-the-art semiconductor fabrication plants and Cyrix had the innovative microprocessor designs and digital design expertise.
