I used Illustrator to create this banner. I was inspired by handwriting on the original template and just decided to write my own name in cursive for my banner. First, I worked with the watercolor brushes in Illustrator to achieve a messy, splotchy effect. I then added color accents to the originally blue strokes. I then decided to create a solid color background to fill in the white space. I made the jellyfish in Illustrator as a spur-of-the-moment addition and imported it into my banner file. I added the text last.
