How to Create a Banner in Microsoft Publisher

Making a banner is only one of the numerous things you can do using Microsoft Publisher. As long as you approach it correctly, the creation process is rather simple and saves you the time and money you would have otherwise spent hiring a professional banner designer.

• Step 1: Choose a Banner Template

  
  Launch your Microsoft Publisher application. Go to the File tab of the Publisher ribbon and click the New option. After that, select “Built-in” to use one of the pre-installed templates in Microsoft Publisher. Then, select the Banners category, and click on the banner design that you want to use.

• Step 2: Customize the Necessary Information

  
  Once you pick a banner template (for example, a congratulations banner), go to the right side of the screen and, under the Customize and Options menu, make the necessary changes that you want to include with your banner. After that, click on the “Create” button.

• Step 3: Personalized the Banner

  
  Do one or all of the following actions on the Page Design tab: Click on Size, select the page size, or click on “Create new page size” to alter the width and height of the banner; select a color scheme from the Schemes section to alter the color scheme of the banner; and click on Fonts, then select a font pair to alter the font scheme for the banner. Additionally, replace the placeholder text and images in your banner with the text, images, or other objects of your choosing.

• Step 4: Save the Output

  
  To save the output for your banner, go to the File tab, click on Save As, and choose the location for your banner. Then, type the name of your banner and save it as Publisher Files in the “Save as type”. Finally, click the Save button to complete the process.
