Full Series LACWAC Banner Submission Thread

Would you like to take a leap perhaps, Garth?

 

How does one create a banner? Are there specific formats to be used? I would like to take a go at one....but not exactly sure how to approach it.

 

No one wants to see that. Trust me.

 

Saber; Here's the banner thread in Comms ? a useful guide. If you want a more detailed version (especially in creating stylesheets) Grimby's website is excellent.

In essence...

If you create two main images of 764x110 dimensions, a curve image roughly the size of 69x69, a side image with a 31 width and two small ad holders ... that's all you need. Reply images are only rarely made these days and stylesheets can be created in the blink of an eye if you're having trouble with them (which is entirely understandable). Let us know if you want a stylesheet made and I'll do it for you when you've completed a good banner.

The most important thing is to have fun with it, mate. It can be a lot of fun putting together your favourite images from Star Wars.


If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask, both myself and Quest are banner-makers.

 

I never would have thought to look in the commuications forum (didn't actually know there was one). I took a look at those last night....very helpful. I plan to use them to help me construct a banner. We'll see how that goes. I'm just getting used to Photoshop.

 

Let me know if you need help or ever want an opinion/thoughts on anything mate!

Can't wait.

 

Ooooooo I LOVE this banner/stylesheet combo. Well done chaps.

 

Nice job, Quest.

 

Very nice! It's definitely a nice change.

 

Anymore banners in the pipeline then guys?

 

This banner is absolutely beautiful. I love the colors and the way it all blends and ties together. Maybe one of my favorites.

 

Actually, a week or so ago, I sat down to try and make a banner and I was a bit confused about the directions. I'll have to go back and remember wthat that was so I can ask for a bit of help.

 

This is a 2ndQuest production. It belw me away when I first saw it. Its a really beautiful banner.

 

Agreed!

Good to hear, Sapes.

Regarding the pipeline, G, well, what do any banner makers out there have to say about this subject of new SSSW banners?

 

Gabe and DJK were my 'go to' banner peeps.

This one's great. In terms of imagery, it's the less is more school of thought. It has all it needs. This is a great example of a beautiful banner. And the accompanying stylesheet works quite well.

 

This is actually the Live Action, Clone Wars & Classics banner submission thread now. Would anybody like to be the first person to create a banner for this "new" forum?

 

I'd have a crack at it, but I am hopeless when it comes to making banners the way TF.N banners go. Dunno why, just no good at it

 

Is there anything I could help you with?

 

Ugh... I'd probably take a crack at it, but "Live Action, Clone Wars & Classics" is such a terribly clunky name that I'd have difficulty.

 

What's the point in only having one board underneath the "Star Wars Television" forum? Might as well carve off new "Clone Wars Animated Series" and "Live Action Series" boards and leave the classics some room to breathe.

 

And my plan is when this forum gets a better name I'll perhaps remember it.

 

How hard can LACWAC be to learn?
