org_100h banner needed
« on: July 01, 2008 »
Anyone here that is good at photoshop? I need a banner for my site - http://org_100h.untergrund.net/

I give the artist free reign over it so long as it looks nice with the rest of the site. The banner should read 'org_100h' (in lower case but big font size) and 'size matters' (lower case in half font size used for site name) the file type should be PNG and the banner should fit into the space at the top of the web page. Any thing goes with the back ground and placement of the site name + slogan.

wanna help me with this?

Nice to see that you are putting the site together :)

I wish I could grab an artist to help you, I'd love to help but the artists I work with must all be on holiday or something as I am having the devils own job in getting any graphics at all!

Hope that you find someone soon, I'd suggest that you ask over at the Dawn creations forum, they are quite helpful and you might well get a pretty good logo, especially if Jizzy draws it.

Looks nice!
But I found an annoying feature. Clicking on a hyperlink always opens a new window.

Thanks for the feed back AnimalMother I will look into that soon as I can (I've actually been meaning to get round to that for awhile now)

@rain_storm:

Cool to see that you work on your own page. Like it.

Concerning the new window+link issue:

Simply remove this from the <a>-tags :

Code: [Select]
onclick="this.target='_blank'"

Np mate.

And btw. I would use relational links in your <a> tags (of course this only
works if you do not want to open the page in a new tab/window).

E.g.
Code: [Select]
<a href="productions.htm">Production</a>

Why this might be better ? Because if you should change the server/url one
day - you do not have to rename all hrefs in your code ;-)

[EDIT]
In addition, this might also be useful:

Great that way of linking is also much better for testing before uploading to the host Im just about to upload the fixed versions now. Thanks again benny :)

FWIW they're called relative URLs/paths/links, not relational :p

Although w3schools may be nice to begin with, but it's really not up to date and contains some errors.  e.g. on the very page Benny linked to, they omit the required attribute alt in the IMG tags.

This may be a little hardcore at first, but checking the DTD and specificationre/commandation is definitely the best way to go to learn which tag and attribute goes where and to know the purpose of the tags and attributes. Get these and you're all set.

Writing w3c compliant xhtml is extremely satisfying. I've immersed myself in it over the last couple of months, I am sure you will enjoy it Rain.

Thanks Ghost. PM sent. I dont really have a solid idea of what I want it to look like so I will let you make the decisions on the details, I trust your judgement. All I really want is the text to be clearly readable and that it suits the rest of the page. Some karma coming your way buddy

Maximum size should be 800px,256px that is the maximum but I would prefer it smaller than the maximum to allow for some padding so maybe closer to 600px,200px

I want to keep the colours neutral greys for the background but the text should be some bright colour maybe white, yellow, blue etc. the background should have some pattern but not so much to draw attention away from the text.

The rest of the site is simple and the banner should be simple too. Less is more, I want it to stay a minimalist site.

Thanks and K++ to Ghost^BHT, I finally have two very nice banners to work with, Im gonna put it up asap first I want to give you guys a preview. Not bad at all are they

Really nice work and thanks again buddy

Edit- I had done a xor texture when I first tried to make my own banner, but it was flat and not that good you made xor look a lot better. I think it suits the whole tiny code theme quite well

Fair play to Ghost :)

I like the grey one the most though as it is more of a coder colour :)
