2. I changed the pixels to 200px-500px, as this size is suitable for websites
and banners.

3. I made a rectangle shape around the banner. I then went to the color tab on
the right hand panel- there, I selected three colors and dragged them into the
gradient bar on the right hand panel.

4. I then added a stroke- a border- on the edge of the banner. I selected the
stroke button on the end, and added the dark purple color to it. I made the
uniform thickness of the stroke thicker

5. I then inserted text using the typing tool: I changed the font to Myriad Web Pro,
as I thought this was suitable for the banner. I then changed the color in the color panel
to a gold yellow color.

6. I then inserted the image my client wanted. In order to blend it in, I feathered
the edges. To do this, I went to effect- Stylize- Feather- And adjusted the
radius to 9 pixels.
