BANNER SHOPPE FEATURES:

4 Styles: (see Display 3)

More Features: (Display 3)

• In the .AI file, banners are given as editable paths (not flattened). This means you can easily resize the banners in Illustrator using the select tools, or apply any brush of your choice. (Banners are flattened in the .PSD file as compound paths)
• Each banner is made up of several panels, making it easy for you to switch the orientation of the banner - simply reorder the layers. (A simple tutorial for this is included.)
• Centered text paths are included on each banner, as well as horizontal line blends for custom shading and/or text paths.
