Hello all! I need a new banner for a new skin I made for my forum www.offthaave.com/forums (note: it's not the current gray skin, see pic below) . The banner will need to be 788 x 140 (150 at the most). On it should be as followed: -The city of Chicago in the distance (in either corner). The city skyline should be dark and gloomy.. like a solid grayish color with the building details bleeding through. The skyline should also be outlined. -A road or "avenue" going to Chicago -Our site name "Off Tha Ave" on there somewhere that would look good. A good idea would be on a street sign, like a light pole.. just an idea. -the banner color should be an even mix of navy blue and gray. to get a better idea of how the banner color should look, just take a look at the pic below: http://i20.tinypic.com/149cf2t.png The job pays $20 but I'll take the best deal/work. Any questions, let me know here or via PM. I'm interested to see what can get cooked up. Let's begin this shall we?
Thanks but kinda strecthed. To get an idea, look at some of our current banners: http://www.offthaave.com/forums/images/afterdark/misc/logo.gif http://www.offthaave.com/forums/images/greenfox/misc/logo.gif http://www.offthaave.com/forums/kartel/misc/logo.gif and on our mainpage www.offthaave.com
Here is the header: And this is how it is going to look like when you put it on site: I am gonna give you the .psds too. Tell me if you need anything changed.
well, the thing about this banner is it's height is too small. also - if the chicago bg isn't a vector, it will look wierd. so my suggestion is make the bg a vector, if thats alright with you
alright here are my results 1. original size 788x140 2. resized version 770 x 115 ( fits the template you gave ) 3. screenshot of the resized version Feedback appreciated P.S. I accidentally overwrote the psd file after flattening image, so that there is the final product ( cant edit it ). Watermark can be taken off though
Yes contest is still open. Thanks to all who submitted so far. The one that catches my eye so far is the above post. Can you take out the street sign and add better text for "Off Tha Ave" maybe like how this is positioned: http://www.offthaave.com/forums/images/afterdark/misc/logo.gif and make the road a little more easier to see? Let's see how it turns out.
ergh.. i overwrote my psd file with the flatteend image. so I guess I'll have to reproduce this whole thing again. It might be a bit different.. but this time i wont overwrite the psd
dont worry, it will be exactly the same - except the colours will be off by like 1/2 a shade ill try my best to recreate everything btw, what kind of font did you have in mind? can you provide an example please
actually I can't really look for one right now.. But I'm looking for a street, urban kinda font like in our previous banners
