How to create a multiple item menu from a single image.

I used an image from the Warrior Cats books by Erin Hunter to demonstrate how to setup a menu within an image via the use of tables. Check out the picture menu @

Choose an image that has landmarks on them. What I mean by landmarks is designs that you can clearly find spots to crop sections easily. This is important for the next section cropping. If the sections are not cropped with accuracy, you will end up with a jagged picture at the end. It takes a bit of experimenting at first. After a while, you will get the hang of it and will use it more and more. Do you find this valuable?

I have an idea. Let's call it Cryingdove's seamless graphic menu. Do you find this valuable?

OK! Thanks. I really think it looks cool. This is my first wiki I put a lot of graphic design into! The image menu got me going, it is inspirational! Do you find this valuable?
