alliancesjrMy new deviantART DeviantID:
I made the background the same shade of grey as the background of deviantART itself, just to have the cool seamless effect. Except for where the text is cut off, of course.
Having a distinct lack of Photoshop either at home or at work (not even the bastardized Elements that I used to have at home), I improvised. I wasn't going to use Paint, of course, so I took a screencap of deviantART, cropped and expanded it in Irfanview, and placed it in MS Word. I then played with the formatting options to get the text to layer over the grey box, and started typing. I quickly ran out of things, so I did the tried-and-true copy/paste to fill up enough of a space.
I used a couple of the least-lame WordArt functions, layered that over the text, and took yet another screencap. One more cropping session in Irfanview, and I had this to show for it.
It's basic, and I could have done it much better in Photoshop, but I'm still fairly pleased with how it turned out.
