Have a Heart!

Is anyone by the chance experience with designing graphics and picture editing and such? I would do it myself, but since I don't have the porgram that was on my last computer since my house burned down, I really need some help on forums pictorials for proboards so I can rebuild a forum that might make an old friend happy sicne they were hacked. So please someone mind helping me out with a design?
Your house burned down? Owch. That must really sting. (v.v)

So, uh, what do you mean by "pictorials"?
Don't worry, old news!

Anyway, I need some designs for a proboards website. Like an average banner for one thing for a RP forum.
Well, what's the RP about?
Oh yeah! I should post the link to give an idea what's the banner going to be on for the page. It's still in progress, and I just started today since it seemed likely to be the opportune moment seeing I'm not busy.

Sorry, I'd love to help, but I barely have time as it is. ^^;;
Don't worry that's okay. I'm just going to find a way. I want this forum to be spiffy since I want her to be comfortable when she gets back. She's going through some rough times and that's why I want to do my best to help.
