Depends on the number of layers and blends you want to have, I would say. The one I am using now took me about 20 minutes to make having with 3 background layers, two text layers, and five Buffy's face layers.

My last one (for JW) took me two hours. I had a bunch of ideas and it sort of evolved. Four blended pictures, color editing, and a text layer. I wanted to use brushes and patterns but there wasn't room  . My other ones take me much much longer because I'm constantly tweaking it. Like on my graphics thread, the second set took me the longest (rough estimate 4 hours) just because of all the blending and gradients and I used (and am not very familiar with). The one that I have now took me the least amount of time because it has no layers. It was an excellent base  |

sometimes I can't get the colours right, or the text looks shite, so yeah it varies a lot!

about an hour, i'd say. getting the screencaps, sizing them, putting them into photoshop and adding all the textures, lights, brushes and stuff would all be an hour. But much slower if my computer's being a jerk. He's very old, and does not work quickly. it takes half an hour to turn my computer on....

it can take 20 minutes or hours. deciding on a font and the color of the font can take a very long time for me.

You know, it really depends. If I know what I want to do and everything comes together the way I want it to, maybe 15-20 minutes. But that's not usually the case. Do you want me to include the time that it takes me to scrap designs during the creative process? LOL. Also depends on if I'm in a banner-y mood. If I'm really into perfecting a banner, it can take more than an hour  |

I hear you. And mostly I'm done and have already uploaded and posted in my art thread before I discover;
Hey, that text sucks.

I hate it when I see a banner of mine on this board and it the colors look completely different than it did in my editor. Also different monitors show colors different. It's quite maddening.

It usually takes me about 30 minutes. Mostly because I like doing different things with coloring and such...
PS. I hate having ugly text on my banners!

Mine can range from 30 mins-hours. Sometimes, I can get everything right all at once. But that rarely happens! Usually I take hours to perfect it, and sometimes then I get disappointed in the way something doesn't turn out, so I switch it up!

This one took me about 20 minutes, it was pretty easy to make. But others can take me more than an hour, and most of that time is spent on text.  |
