Krillen Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 I really like this one. I just made it. Tell me what you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hittokiri Zero Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 Needs a border, and nudge the link picture up like 5-10 pixels. Also nudge the text on the right down a pixel or two =P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krillen Posted April 22, 2003 Author Share Posted April 22, 2003 Crap, I feel really dumb asking this. But I have everything flattened and I cant mess with it anymore. How can I get a boarder on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hittokiri Zero Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 [quote]How can I get a boarder on?[/quote] If your using photoshop just push *ctrl +a* to select everything then, go to edit >> stroke >> inside by 1 pixel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krillen Posted April 22, 2003 Author Share Posted April 22, 2003 Alright man thanks. Here it is. I cant move the Pixels around anymore because I flattened it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GinnyLyn Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 Dude, nice, crisp, clean, clear. *applauds* Maybe make the three words on the left a little darker. If there was a way you could...*winces*...rebuild the banner, using the same background, but finding someway to make it look more ancient treasure map-ish, I think you'd have a definite winner. Booteefull. I can see me using this banner next to Des' most recent Wind Waker one. 9.2/1o. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krillen Posted April 23, 2003 Author Share Posted April 23, 2003 Why thankyou very much. I will try that soon. But as of now im in quite a dilemma. Maybe you guys can help me out. I copied the Url on my banner and used the img tag in my signature. Problem is, its not working and I dont know why. Can someone help me out?

GinnyLyn Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 I do believe that, in order for an image hosted off site to show, it needs to be a .gif. I've had this problem myself. Don't bother hosting it on the Boards. The Mods will be on your butt faster than you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krillen Posted April 23, 2003 Author Share Posted April 23, 2003 Ok, then maybe this will work. I saved it as a Gif. Edit: Yes it worked! I just made another Banner too, but I cant post it until someone else posts so Ill wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably something about the host. Good banner, though, that's one of my favorite pics of Link. (Where'd you find it, by the way? I haven't been able to find a full version of that pic, just part of it). I also think it'd look better if the pic were moved up a little, but it still looks good as it is. I always save a copy of the banners in psp format (Paint Shop Pro's file format), though, in addition to a jpg or gif copy with everything flattened. That way I can go back and make little changes like that, and then just save it as a jpg/gif again.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krillen Posted April 23, 2003 Author Share Posted April 23, 2003 Hmm.....I'll try and remember Desbreko... I usually just site search until I find somthing good. I never book marked it, so if I come by the site again. You'll be the first to know. [COLOR=limegreen]Edit: Your in luck Desbreko, I found an earlier version of the picture I started with, I'll post it soon.[/COLOR] Here is another banner by the way. This one is pretty similar bud I added more layer styles to it. How is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braidless Baka Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 Heh the pic on the left is funny, you should dedicate a banner to that picture alone O-o! I like it, but I think the one in your sig right now takes the beans - maybe it's the fading around "the wind waker" that does it... *shrugs* ^_^ I'm in awe though *sits in awe* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 [size=1]I like your first, better. The three faces in the seond make it look too cut-and-paste. Do you understand what I mean, or am I making no sense?[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you understand what I mean, or am I making no sense?[/size] [/B][/QUOTE] [color=indigo]Yeah, that's what I thought, too. It just looks like three pics of Link were slapped onto a background and some text added. Not much depth to it. Also, the "Link: Hero of Winds" text is a bit plain, and it doesn't go very well up top with the other text. Try using a different font, and putting it down in the bottom-right corner instead of the top-right. (You may also need to move the Link pics up a bit if you move the text down). And you should almost always put a border on, too. It's amazing how much better a banner can look just by adding a black, one-pixel wide border around the edge.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krillen Posted April 24, 2003 Author Share Posted April 24, 2003 Yah it does look rather bland and normal. But I was just folling around on that one. Thanks for the compliments. I really like the first one. Here is the picture you wanted Desbreko. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
