    First create an image or grab a image
    Open Paint.NET (what we use in this tut)
    Of course the image needs to be resized or already in banner size I recommend size 370x83
    Put your image into Paint.NET
    I created a sample image so you can easily see what's going on
    example [​IMG]
    To pixelate your image like KaG in Paint.NET go to Effects/Distort/Pixelate set it to 2
    example [​IMG]
    Your done but a good thing you can do in some circumstances is add shine like in some banners
    Choose the color white then lower the transparency to about 31 then choose box with fill then cover part of the top.
    example [​IMG]
    To create shadow you can get a transparent black I recommend transparency 12 or 8 and then color over where the shadows would be like in the first image. And same with white.
    What I have created

    You might not notice my shine because i don't like too much shine.
