thepostmansknock I’d like to state as a matter of fact that hand-drawn banners are the chic design element right now, and their applications are limitless. One stroll around Whole Foods will tell you they look great on chalkboards. Many hip blogs {though … come to think of it, not mine} feature them to draw your attention to this, that, or the other. And then there’s the illustration aspect! The Arch Banner: To create an arch banner, start with a curved line. Extend a line down from the right side, about 0.5″ long. From the bottom of that line, draw a curved bottom line that’s parallel to your top line. “Seal it”! Now, draw a short horizontal line that starts about 1/4th of the way down on the side of your banner. Draw a line straight down from the end of that line. Finish up this shape by drawing another horizontal line over, and a vertical line up. For the ribbon tail, draw a small, curved line that starts about 1/4th of the way down on the horizontal line that is furthest left. Repeat on the other side.
