Site: http://www.fatboymagazine.com What I need: I'd like a banner under the header that tells pple to register and why to register... I'd like images on the left that depict what the site is about (hot girls, mma, sports, movies, guys talking shit) and the word Register on the right... something like Register, its free.... the images on the left can be animated to show different images... The size should be the exact size of the first white content area... the breadcrumb area... I would like to see an example on the actual site if you dont mind... Like a mock up or whatever.. Something that matches the site but stands out and grabs your attention... I look forward to seeing what you guys come up with...
Umm...I can't even view your site man. I see fatboymagazine.com for maybe 3 seconds then get taken to 'webfetti' in firefox 3, ubuntu.
Might be that your request is not clear... or that this seems to be more of a coding job than creating a banner. If I understand correctly... your looking at the area that is linked to the home page and currently reads, "Fat Boy Magazine" and you would like to fill that white space up with an image and some eye catching descriptive text... preferably randomized too.
@ jaaahn: sorry about that - its fixed now... @ scoopy82: Nah, no coding, just a cool banner @ jackieh1791: You have the right idea but its not what I'm looking for.. Something more modern and that matches the site more. Also the size should be the size mentioned in the first post. Thanks though... @ blankeyecue: seriously? it should be fixed, I fixed it a while ago.... try again if you dont mind, maybe clear your cache...
Hi, Ill see what i can come up with tonight Just curious about the size. Its the banner that reads "Fat Boy Magazine" with a plain white background right?
@ totalx90: yep, its 960px wide, height isn't really an issue as long as it looks good... @ Proficient: Cool - looking forward to it....
Are you planning on dumping that link that is there now ? Otherwise you will want to be careful with the design and width of this banner. IE: The inner pages such as, fatboymagazine.com/showthread.php?t=37621 will have a title that is about 300 pixels wide (example, "Fat Boy Magazine / Humor / Humor Media" and contains 3 different links). Also the size I am seeing is 98% of 972px (#base) which comes out to 952.56px minus any links there now and the division's padding and margins. Anyway... here's my idea to code some random thoughts into that space and also to include matching random images: http://www.kernow-webhosting.com/nando/ The images I used were quickies just to see what it may look like until it was decided which direction you actually want to go with. The actual attention grabbing text / headlines we would want to use could then be replaced along with images that would be more suitable.
@ scoopy82: Yeah - I think theres some miscommunication... the banner would under the header, on top of the bread crumbs.... totalx90's entry is a great example of what I'm looking for.... @ totalx90: Great start! I would like some changes though, not sure if you want them now since the contest is still open though... I'd like to see what others do b4 I make a decision but you're definitely on the right track....
I was thinking about it and I'm going to provide all the changes I would like to see and then make a decision... This is in no way closed, so all new entries are still welcomed... @ totalx90 So here are the changes if you wana do them. I think its to dark, maybe a white with some red. I like the static stuff on the right. But instead of just posting the different topics like that animated, have the statements below with a matching image animated.... Slower of course... @ DrZapp: Yeah... I think it needs a little more... for the text: Have "Register, It's Free" stay static and under it you can add the different topics that can be discussed. you should also had more images or have them animated to show different images - they should all relate to topics. I've added some statements at the end of the post that could be used. @ Rover.SC I like the right red part. Not really feeling the images (except the girls) used. Maybe have text and a related image animated. @ ALL: Please use the following statements in order - animated with related images: "Who's the girl grabbing that other girl's ass?" "You see the game last night?" "BJ Penn or George St. Pierre?" "So how bad will the next SpiderMan suck?" "Is T-Mobile's G1 the official iPhone killer?" "Who's watching Sons Of Anarchy?" "Get all these questions answered when you register. It's FREE." "Join the Fat Boy community and shoot the shit about anything."
