I agree...but there are just so many pics of them

 

We need more Tenel Ka in out icons and banners

 

Well, Here's our new ff scheme and banner I was doing earlier in the thread. Many thanks to Raven and Mara-Jade-Fan for the help!

 

Nice work on the curve, very classy.

 

Thanks, Gabe! I love your 3SA banners!

 

Just a suggestion to all: Could we see more Leia in some banners? It seems Padmé is in a lot more of them (or is far more prominent in some-not that that's a bad thing).

 

hey, i live down here in houston texas and well, our fan force page doesnt have a banner, would it be alright if i made one for our ilustrious fan club?

 

OK everyone! The Star Wars Community Forum Banner Contest is up and running! Check out the threads either in Comms or the SW Community forum for details! I look forward to everyone's great work!

 

I am overwhelmed by the interest in this thread...

 

Oh hush you, I'm still making it!

In the meantime, my very plain, er I mean minimalist 3NSA Banner.

 

Whoever made that banner in The Phantom Menace forum was a artistic genius.

Therefore I tried to make a similar banner for Attack of the Clones:

(I didn't bother trying to change the forum colors, that's something I'm totally alien to)

 

Damn, that's prettier than mine.

 

Impressive jace, most impressive.

 

Here's a banner I made for the Classic Trilogy forum, that blue is getting rather dull.

I actually learned how to change the forum colors this time, so it matches.

 

Oh what the hey.

I have a banner for the non-spoiler forum, and while I'm 99% positive I'm not going to edit it anymore, I'd like some feedback on it.

Jedi Greg Maddux: That banner's looking good. Personally I'd lower the text a bit so it's in the middle of the border. Also, I'd shift Count Dooku a bit to the right so the text's not overlapping him and fade the bottom of the image on the left so it blends into the black. Everything else looks good to me.

 

I like your banner, especially the reds, yellows, and oranges. The only constructive criticism I'd add is that you have a lot of AotC imagery in your banner when there is a great deal of Episode III material available for those characters and situations that aren't spoilers at all.

 

A banner for the Games: RPG forum:

It would be nice to make banners for the couple forums that don't have their own.

 

That Games banner absolutely rocks!

 

I created a banner for the Los Angeles Fan Force. But for some reason, there's that white border/gap around it. I remember seeing a Banner FAQ a long time ago that addressed that problem.. but I can't find it anywhere. Can someone tell me how to fix that?
I created all the images to the specs listed on the 1st post of this thread.
I just created the images, I'm not the one who links them to the site.
Your help will be appreciated! Thanks!

EDIT: The current banner is a joke.. I'll be creating a new, permanent one over the weekend.

 

great work on the banners guys

jacemathem I like your Games: RPG banner you did a good job on it

 

jace: CT color scheme... Too much peach. And, to me at least, it doesn't match the blue above it at all.

The RPG banner... VERY nice. Though you could go with unifying the colors a bit more by altering the overall merged images' hue, or soemthing like that, or simply lightening or darkening it. The color scheme isn't quite working there, either, though. You're going into purples, reds, beiges... and it's too dark. That banner is hard to match with so many colors, though, and because there's so much going on with it, whatever you do for the scheme needs to be really simple and easy on the eyes, without a whole lot of contrast. Just my two cents.

My most recent work = EpIII No Spoilers and one I'm working on for the EUC. (The color scheme in 3NS is all screwy atm, but should be fixed soon.)

I never really took a lot of initiative with the style sheets, but I think next time I'll play around with it a lot more.

 

Just a reminder to everyone that final banners for the Star Wars Community banner contest are due by midnight on June 4th! That's only a few days away!

 

AOTC Spotlight: Palpatine

Here would be one of a few character banners for the Attack of the Clones forum, perhaps. Some new work to put out there.
