Site Graphics

Okay...this was in the wrong forum so it was moved. Anyone wanting to get involved in creating site graphics is more than welcome. TNT is working on a few things including new buttons and site icons. The page header above was created by McPatty. I have several headers in the works as well. I think the site header should be rotated about once a week to keep the site interesting and fresh. If you'd like to have your banner(s) featured on the site...post it here.

Even if you have some cool original art just kicking around and want to post it here...feel free!

It isn't much, but I thought it was cool. Check out the small AOW icon in your tab / address bar of your browser when you are on this site!

Nice!

very nice

kewl

on-to-it my brotha............

I love the little icon and thanks for choosing my banner

Thanks Mac, and no problem. You did a good job on it.

Like I said, I have a few others in the works still too, and I think it'd be fun to rotate them out once in a while to help keep things fresh around here. Things like this help keep peeps involved too...So lets see some more!

What is the size for the banners again ( in pixels) ?

There really isn't a standard size as they vary from site to site depending on site layout, advertisements, etc. . They can vary between say 750x100 to over 900x200 pixels. It all depends on what works for us. Also, this site happens to offer a re-sizing before installing which helps, but it may also distort it some too. Yours above looks like it was slightly changed from the original, but not a bad effect either.

So this isn't much help, but hopefully a start for you. Play around with it and lets see some more designs!

here is a new header Enjoy :

Very Nice!

Got another one coming soon with animated fire and other goodies!

nice job all! and if you want to know the size of the banner etc, right click on it and click on properties..............

you can use this if you like.................

Of course bro! All gfx posted are being added to the site graphics area where we can change them up every week or so. I have a cool one still in the works. It is looking good and cant wait to show it!

Somehow some of the graphics that were stored for the website have vanished of the image server. So the banners that you guys made are MIA. Not sure how or why....

If you would like to have your artwork flown as a site banner, feel free to post it here. I will add it into the rotation!

BUMP!

BUMPITY BUMP

Any comments on the latest banner? Come on Cletus chime in!

It is nice. but not my favorite. but I ain't no art critic.lol

Well, Here's my shot at AOW fame. Hope you like it.

Very nice Blue!

ALL - Sorry I failed to mention this before, but banners should be 900P wide and around 150p tall. Also, while it isn't a requirement, the banners seem to look better when designed with the site colors in mind. You should sign or initial your work because it will go into the banner rotation and be displayed on our site.

(Banner rotation is random, so don't anyone think one is being displayed more than others)

Thanks!

My only request would be and I'm sorry for being an old fuddy duddy but if the AOW could be displayed as:


{AOW}


Letter style isn't an issue Just the color pattern and all caps

Good point Rabbit....And while I have tried other variations myself, it just didn't seem right.

Alright, taking your suggestions into consideration, this is what the revised version looks like...enjoy!

I think over all it looks great. Move the brackets and make them red. I think the font you have chosen is really cool.
