How to Make a Badge for a Blog (6 Steps)
Go to a free online badge generator where you can pick out the text, size and colors of your badge.
Open a graphic editing program such as Adobe Photoshop. If you don't already have a good graphic editing program, you can download a free trial of Photoshop or a free, open source program such as Paint.NET.
Create a new file in your program that is 125 pixels wide by 125 pixels high. This is the standard size of a blog badge. Do this by choosing the size when you create the new document.
Open the file that holds the logo for your blog, or create one if you don't have it. Right click and 'Copy' the image from your site, or simply type the name of your blog on the new file that you created. Find a freeware image or clip art to add to your badge. Make sure that however you decorate it, it represents the look and theme of your blog.
Save the badge to your computer when you are satisfied with it. Make sure you save it with a file extension of .jpg, .png or .gif. These extensions are the ones that are used the most often for badges. Go to a free image-hosting site and upload your badge. When you upload it, the badge will have a URL so you can put it on the sidebar of your blog for people to use. If you have a domain that is hosted on your own server, you can upload the badge with an FTP program or from the online file directory in your host's control panel.
Put the badge on your side bar with a line of HTML code. If you uploaded your badge to a free image-hosting website, it will most likely give you the code you need for your badge to show up. If you uploaded to your own server, use this code to place your badge on the sidebar of your blog (replacing 'yourdomain' and 'yourbadge' with the correct names):

How to Create Race Car Graphics (5 Steps)
Get all the measurements for each graphic you are preparing. Accurately measure each section of the vehicle. Account for any 'contingency' decals required by the sanctioning body the race car will participate in.
Use graphic design software such as Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator or InDesign to create the graphics. Because these software programs require training and familiarity, most race teams hire a graphic designer to create the graphics according to the needs of the sponsor and the team.
If you are obtaining a logo from a sponsor, be sure you have the file in the correct format and large enough to print in the size you need. Vector files are the most common file format but be sure to check with your printer on the required format and minimum size they prefer. This will ensure that your graphics are clear and high quality.
Once the design of the graphics is done, send them to a printer that has the capability to output graphics large enough for your race car. The most cost effective material is vinyl, which also applies easily. Your printed decal will come back sandwiched between sheets of paper to protect both the adhesive backing and the printed side.
Apply the printed decals to your race car. Start with a clean, dry surface. Spray the area with an adhesive fluid, which allows you to position the decal before setting it in. Remove the back of the vinyl, set in place and using your squeegee, press firmly from the center of the graphic outward. Let it dry, saturate the outside of the decal and carefully remove the sheet. Use your Exacto knife to pop any bubble that may appear.
