You know the drill, you gotta have Superimpose, Phonto, and Afterlight. Okay, you don't have to have these apps, but they're what I use. You can most definitely find other apps that let you do what I'm doing with these banners because they're very very simple.
Now let's get to it.
Step One. Go on to Superimpose and set this black photo as your background:

And your photo of choice as the foreground. Expand the photo so it covers all of the black photo. Save when done. Your photo should be like this:

Step Two. You can edit your photo on Afterlight or wherever you edit your photo now so it doesn't mess up with the text later. I like to edit the photo by changing up shadows, contrast, saturation, adding grain, any of the simple stuff. I rarely use actual filters and if I do it's A6 on VSCO.
It's not even a huge difference, but I always like to add at least grain.

Step Three. Next go onto Phonto and put up your photo. Type in your text. I used the font florence. To do the two triangle, you can either google triangle shapes or you can go on this app called Uniconsole where they have a whole bunch of emoticons including the triangle.
Final Product.
