If you have a copy of Adobe Photoshop, that is a good place to start. There are plenty of tutorials on how to create nice looking graphics using photoshop.

Macromedia Fireworks is another product that you might find useful.

Macromedia Flash is also a good choice for banners since they are small and animated.

...or maybe GIMP in linux would be a good choice for you?

The best thing you can do is get a copy of some decent graphics software and play with it... before you know it you could be producing good quality graphics in no time.
