Question on making flags:

[brandnew70x7]

How can I make it so a complex symbol such as a bird or something on a flag doesn't come out distorted when converted?

Thanks in advance guys.

hard to make, if the bird is too little compared to the flagsize. There is not much pixels used for the flag ...

I just can't figure out why it came out so bad..

you need to anti-alias when you resize, it makes it appear a lot smoother and less specky

Alright, how do I apply that in Photoshop 7.0, and do I apply it before turning it into a flag or after?
