Illustrator can export GIF images in the 'File>Save for Web' panel.

If you want the banner to be animated, you can download a freeware GIF animator from a site like webattack.com to assemble the frames in a GIF animation.

No matter what software you use: if you enlarge a bitmap image, it will blur.

File>Place //locate a picture of business folk
Select text tool //type 'possible made practical'
File>Save for Web //Save as a GIF


While this can easily be done in Illustrator, I would recommend creating web graphics in a bitmap image editor (like Photoshop or GIMP). I recommend GIMP because it is free and perfectly suited for your application. You can read about GIMP at gimp.org. A Windows version is available at:

A Mac OSX version is also available through 'Fink' (sourceforge.net).
