New Banner?

[Shawn]

If anyone is up to the challenge, I was thinking we could use a new banner for the SW style sets. It should be no larger than the dimensions of the current one, weigh in at no more than 15k (at the max - anything smaller is appreciated), and should have a definite color scheme which can easily be altered to fit all of the styles; ie, a prominant blue for the "Star Wars (Original)" style, which can then be altered for the rest.

Have at it. :)

[Sage Hazzard]

I'll get to work on it when I have time. :)

No offense, but I was begining to grow tired of this banner. Two faces and text is boring, IMO.

[Charley]

We need a Confederacy of Independent Systems banner & style set :)

[ReaperFett]

Can I request NOONE touches the Rebel syle please? I like it, and I'm about the only Rebel user :)

[ReaperFett]

Oh, and I'd reccomend no EP2 ones until June 1st. THat way, any shots are fair game

[imported_Eve]

Charley, right on top of that sir.

[Master Yoghurt]

I would love a GJO style. :)

[ReaperFett]

surely Jedi would be better? :)



I did start a Rebel Pilots one, could ressurect that :)

Good, The Great Gorgja the Hutt demands a C-I-S banner and style set worth of his engorged body. ;)

:lol

[Sage Hazzard]

Eh, tell me what you think of this. I'm uploading it to the server here because it's easier for myself mainly.

I couldn't get online last night because of first, my ISP and secondly because of thunderstorms. So I doodled for about half and hour and finally came up with this. Probably one of many to come, unless of course everyone crowns me king for this image. Then I'll retire. :lol

[Shawn]

Looks pretty good. We'll try it out later. :)

[Sage Hazzard]

Thankies.

BTW, I can easily change the color. I'm very organised when it comes to things on the computer. I save in layers. So I can very quickly change the color of the background, the glow, and even the lightsabre. It'd only take 2 minutes to have it uploaded to this server. So just tell me if/when you need them. Of course, I relise this is probably a testing period sort of thing. But in the event it's kept, I'd be happy to oblige in any color scheming needed.

[Shawn]

I do think I'm going to use it. I'd appreciate it if you could make one for each SW Style Set. Alternatively, you could send me the PSD file and I'll do it.

[Morgan Evanar]

Unfortunately, he's not using Photoshop, but PSP instead =p

[Sage Hazzard]

Well, Paint Shop does offer the option to save under the PSD file standard. :p

I'll just do it myself. It'd save time, since I have ample time at nights. Although, I could also send you the file with all the layers, so you can have a copy if you ever add a new color set(aqua?). :)

I'll reply with uploads tonight, later. I'll just upload it on this server, if that's alright with you? Of course, since each reply allows only one upload, I'll upload them as I get them done. :)

First up: Red.

[Sage Hazzard]

Second: Yellow

[Sage Hazzard]

Thirdly: Purple

[Sage Hazzard]

Fourth and final(if I'm not mistaken): green

[Shawn]

Actually, before I left earlier today, I did all of them except yellow and gold. Just a matter of properly using the Lasso tool and Hue/Saturation adjustment. :)

[Sage Hazzard]

I don't mean to offend but, your renditions look a little grainy. Would you mind using the ones I made? Actually, mine are less in weight. Which has me puzzled, considered grainyness is usually contributed to compressing file size.

[Sage Hazzard]

Oh, wait, do you need an orange one too? I forgot that style set.

[Shawn]

Hmm... they looked fine to me. :huh But if you say so...

[Sage Hazzard]

Well, I'm a perfectionist.

Look at the sabre. See how it looks a wee bit "pixelated". If that's the right word. Just something about it looks off. On red, purple, and green. :/

Oh, and the background of the board for the green style set is red. Not the banner, but the background of the board.

Should I make an orange one?

[Shawn]

I know about the background on the green style set. Long story short, the red set still had the basic black and white stars, so I gave it a red bg, and the green one was still using the B&W stars as well, so it got the same one. I decided to wait until later to fix it, since hardly anyone uses it.

I still can't see the graininess - either I'm too tired to catch it (I can hardly type this as it is :x), or it has to do with my desktop resolution. In either event, if it's there, it's probably due to the fact that I increased the saturation on a couple of them... it's been known to do that.

And yes, an Orange one would be nice. I'll upload yours later this afternoon.

[Sage Hazzard]

Okay. I'll have an orange one done either tonight or tomorrow.

It's minor but it bugs me. That's just how I am. Thanks for going through the trouble of replacing them with mine. :)

[Sage Hazzard]

Orange one. :)
