You don't need paint if you have Photoshop. Paint is Trash. :/

5. Then put it the one that you crop the image to the banner.

6. Transform both width and height by 50% then ok.

7. make sure the banner has changed to sepia.

8. Then change color to red 136, blue 0, and green 0.

9. Then do whatever you want any text from your banner.
10. Then border to make it black.

Here it is!
