Links to tutorials on making overlays, please?

You never know what crazy stuff people will pull off. If it's supposed to be placed in your own custom map, with it's own theme, on a huge wall, why not?
I agree it is too much 99% of the situations but I want to give some freedom here.

Nineaxis: You can post some too if you want But this is so easy that people will find it themselves. I mean, you might aswell give a photoshop tutorial etc...
