I think this one expresses Howard Dean's strategy toward combating terrorist perfectly:

I used to hang out at fark.com and enter the photoshop contests all the time. They are great fun and there are some really talented folks there. I got in the top 3 in several of the contests, but I will spare you my winning entries as they have nothing to do with the specific topic at hand.

First try a few things at free online image manipulation websites.

You need to convert any .jpgs to .gif format to crop, make backgrounds invisible, etc at GIFWorks.

You can do this at MyImager or ImageMagick

ImageMagick also has the most tricks on a free online website image toolbox but takes a little experience their to try out their toys.

Resizing and cropping is quickest, most simple, most accurate at GIFWorks

Next come MyImager for resizing and cropping

ImageMagick is the hardest for resizing and cropping

I always select "SMARTCROP" so my images will sit down flush on top of other graphics and not float above with a dumb space between them you cannot eliminate using HTML Tags when posting or building webpages or writing an email.

FlamingText.com has lotsa freevies

Try their "HEADINGS" tab at top of their Home Page and make some great banners, logos, scrolling text .gifs, "blinking" text .gifs

It take practice and experimentation

Play with colors, sizes, font styles, "pause", "speed", "loops", "glow", etc.

Examples:

(blinking text made at FlamingText.com)

http://0access.web1000.com/goreTV.gif

This can be Uploaded and posted as is or taken to Imagemagick and "composited" onto another large .gif

EXAMPLE:

(I made the heart at FlamingText, "zoomed" it at WebFX, resized it at GIFWorks, "composited" it at ImageMagick and also restricted the anomated "zoom-effect" to only 6 loops for 6 shots)

Practice

or borrow other's stuff as you learn

Good Luck!
