Title: Someone make a new banner pic for this place. Post by: Cadillak on April 12, 2012, 10:55:08 am I claim judging rights.
Put something awesome in it. Title: Re: Someone make a new banner pic for this place. Post by: Mum on April 12, 2012, 11:03:36 am I will sit with you and be a judge :)
Title: Re: Someone make a new banner pic for this place. Post by: Tiger on April 17, 2012, 09:37:18 pm Shouldn't all the members be judge, just like the last time a banner was made?
Title: Re: Someone make a new banner pic for this place. Post by: JabbaScrub on April 17, 2012, 10:25:56 pm I've started like three times, and just ended up working on something else or giving up. :-\

Title: Re: Someone make a new banner pic for this place. Post by: the KR3AT3R on April 17, 2012, 11:25:36 pm I already made a WU banner. Can I be the first submission? :P
I can't get it from my phone but maybe someone could copy/pasta the IMG from my artwprk page? Its the blue one. It was one of my earlier ones so its pretty bunk, but at least its a submission. O0 Title: Re: Someone make a new banner pic for this place. Post by: Mum on April 18, 2012, 11:06:56 am I would post for you, k, but have no idea how. I hope someone will!
Title: Re: Someone make a new banner pic for this place. Post by: Cadillak on April 18, 2012, 11:41:08 am Sure k, post something. O0
Title: Re: Someone make a new banner pic for this place. Post by: the KR3AT3R on April 18, 2012, 02:04:42 pm I can't make anything, because i don;t have my program anymore. Here's the one I mentioned last night. I wish I could collaborate it, because what I know now compared to then would make it better. Oh well, the bar is set low, so don't hold back, artists!

You wouldn't happen to have the xcf of that, would you?(http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b101/kreaterz/welcomesig.png) And a suggestion: we could have multiple banners and have them change? Title: Re: Someone make a new banner pic for this place. Post by: the KR3AT3R on April 18, 2012, 04:32:07 pm I'm on my 3rd computer since then. I always back up before switching, so I may have the editable version somewhere, but it's not a guarantee. It's going to have to wait till Friday or so, though cause I'm about to go to work.
Title: Re: Someone make a new banner pic for this place. Post by: JabbaScrub on April 18, 2012, 04:37:46 pm That's fine. I'd like to incorporate that sign into a banner.
Title: Re: Someone make a new banner pic for this place. Post by: the KR3AT3R on April 18, 2012, 04:49:17 pm Right on. Worst case I can do it from scratch again. I really think it could be a ton better.
Title: Re: Someone make a new banner pic for this place. Post by: JabbaScrub on April 18, 2012, 05:25:46 pm I don't really like the font you used for WiiUnite, but I'm really picky about fonts. I spent about 30 minutes trying to pick one out for MEX's banner, and I finally settled on one of the first ones I looked at. :P
Title: Re: Someone make a new banner pic for this place. Post by: Cadillak on April 19, 2012, 05:28:02 pm Would it be possible to have board specific banners? ???
Title: Re: Someone make a new banner pic for this place. Post by: Turboweasle on April 19, 2012, 06:22:31 pm Would it be possible to have board specific banners? ??? I don't know that for sure, but I'm doubtful. And a suggestion: we could have multiple banners and have them change? I don't see why not. Title: Re: Someone make a new banner pic for this place. Post by: the KR3AT3R on April 22, 2012, 06:31:56 pm I DL'd CS5 yesterday and have started working on somethin' somethin'. I should be close to completing tonight/tomorrow early morning.
Title: Re: Someone make a new banner pic for this place. Post by: the KR3AT3R on April 23, 2012, 04:24:40 am So, I'm bummed that my first go at it in probably a year or so is turning out to be something to the effect of 'artist's block'. :-\
This is what I came up with in about an hour and a half. After another hour or so just wondering what is missing/wrong I gave up. Any ideas? At the very least I feel like the silhouette could use some...liveliness, ugh!

Title: Re: Someone make a new banner pic for this place. Post by: JabbaScrub on April 23, 2012, 04:54:11 pm (http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b101/kreaterz/WUbannertest.jpg) Maybe add some windows to the buildings, but on a very low opacity so that you almost don't see them. Also, you could have the colored outlines use gradients to go from green to red to blue. In this case, I think the spotlights should be positioned in somewhat random patterns, just something asymmetrical. If you're up to it, you could even put searchlights on top of the buildings. It'd also be cool if you just took the outline of the emblems and recolored them, so they actually look like they're being projected onto the clouds. For better clouds, you could do another cloud layer on a disperse, duplicate it and put the copy on low opacity on soft light. Then just erase the original to the point that it looks good and the emblems project onto it. You could make a black-white gradient on the background to make the silhouette pop out. I also really think it'd look better shorter.Just my suggestions, since we can't share layers :-[ Title: Re: Someone make a new banner pic for this place. Post by: the KR3AT3R on April 23, 2012, 05:10:40 pm Awesome ideas man. Maybe you could DL cs5? Its free 30 day trial. Or I can dl gimo and we could do something.
Title: Re: Someone make a new banner pic for this place. Post by: JabbaScrub on April 23, 2012, 05:13:54 pm I've already done a trial. I could hardly run it, and it was hard to get used to a new program.
Title: Re: Someone make a new banner pic for this place. Post by: the KR3AT3R on April 23, 2012, 05:21:00 pm Lol, well I can try gimp.
Title: Re: Someone make a new banner pic for this place. Post by: JabbaScrub on April 23, 2012, 05:57:55 pm Haha aight.
Title: Re: Someone make a new banner pic for this place. Post by: the KR3AT3R on April 30, 2012, 04:50:09 am I didn't feel like starting over on this one so here's my "make-up on a pig".

Post by: the KR3AT3R on April 30, 2012, 04:59:10 am Oh, and I guess here it is in the dimensions of the site's current one.

I love the one we have now, but it's too damn small Title: Re: Someone make a new banner pic for this place. Post by: the KR3AT3R on May 05, 2012, 05:54:40 pm I made one, but apparently it was too atroscious for anyone to even comment on it. :P
Title: Re: Someone make a new banner pic for this place. Post by: guest25 on May 05, 2012, 06:10:50 pm actually, kreator, yours was pretty good. Not really sure it's the right theme though.
Title: Re: Someone make a new banner pic for this place. Post by: the KR3AT3R on May 05, 2012, 06:20:51 pm actually, kreator, yours was pretty good. Not really sure it's the right theme though. Thank you. At least you aknowledged it, even if it wasn't appropriate. O0 Title: Re: Someone make a new banner pic for this place.

(http://i1060.photobucket.com/albums/t446/vT_dopehead/wiiunite4.jpg) they're simple lol Title: Re: Someone make a new banner pic for this place. Post by: guest25 on May 05, 2012, 07:39:10 pm oh wow, photoshop looks extremely different when it's not on a mac. the blue one isn't supposed to be super bright to the point it makes the wii controller thing blend in with it.
Title: Re: Someone make a new banner pic for this place. Post by: June on May 05, 2012, 08:46:58 pm Those are pretty neat. I think, however, we are trying to get away from the "wii" in our banner. We want people to know that this site supports all gaming platforms.
Somehow the guys think that if this happens girls will come here to socialize. :P Title: Re: Someone make a new banner pic for this place. Post by: guest25 on May 06, 2012, 02:21:10 am Thanks
Title: Re: Someone make a new banner pic for this place. Post by: the KR3AT3R on May 06, 2012, 03:27:33 am I liked em'. O0
Title: Re: Someone make a new banner pic for this place. Post by: lightspeed_champion on May 06, 2012, 05:46:46 am I think the filters make it look ugly.
Title: Re: Someone make a new banner pic for this place. Post by: Cadillak on May 06, 2012, 10:23:22 am I dont think this place will ever escape being linked to the wii... It's in the name. Everytime I tell someone to check this place out, they laugh until they realize I'm serious.
Title: Re: Someone make a new banner pic for this place. Post by: guest25 on May 06, 2012, 11:01:12 am The real question is what do ppl want in the banner? I don't think the banner should include specific video games like some of the older potential banners had in them.
Title: Re: Someone make a new banner pic for this place. Post by: guest25 on May 06, 2012, 11:05:02 am I think the filters make it look ugly. Don't know what this meansTitle: Re: Someone make a new banner pic for this place. Post by: lightspeed_champion on May 06, 2012, 11:26:28 am looks like a cutout filter or posterize and maybe some fresco
http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2011/06/wii-u-controller-press-1307466616.jpg i think it looks better like this, without the filters. it just seems you put an effect on for the sake of it. Title: Re: Someone make a new banner pic for this place. Post by: guest25 on May 06, 2012, 11:33:57 am (http://i1060.photobucket.com/albums/t446/vT_dopehead/wiiunite2.jpg)
No, it looks a lot worse without the filter. Maybe not for the blue one, but I never uploaded that one to my photobucket. Title: Re: Someone make a new banner pic for this place. Post by: The Krazy One on October 26, 2012, 08:31:51 pm Time to bump this up.
If we're going to be needing a new banner it should at least have the current systems on there (Wii U, 360, PS3 and possibly PC) to show that we play other platforms. Title: Re: Someone make a new banner pic for this place. Post by: Autumn1194 on October 26, 2012, 08:48:20 pm Do it!
