Hey, I need help with a sig banner.

I have no skills at all to make banners. I would like some help.

It should have a picture of the Master Chief from Halo 2. And with the words HAB SPARTAN Mk.II COMMAND.

Got you covered. I was wondering when you'd ask. Got just the right picture in mind, too.

Thanks, I tried myself and failed. Badly. I have no skills in that area of computers.

Okay, pick your pic. I've got several that could work.

One

Two

Three

Four

Five

Pick one. Heck, if I stack the words right I might be able to put one on each end and the words in the center, though that's no guarantee. :wink:

Ooh... #2=very nice... can you enlarge and crop, and maybe play around wiht some visual effects so it looks more like Chief's charging straight out of the pic?

Yeah, I could. I'd have to crop just about all of these to make 'em work with a sig banner anyway.

Hey Rogue, if you're feeling all generous, I wouldn't mind a banner... :lol:

It's a bit dull, isn't it? Words are too big for the picture and for its content, the banner's far too big.

That's pretty damned awesome, although it might be best to, instead of having a white field for the text, just replace it with the rest of the picture. Not sure if black text would contrast well enough though.

The rest of the picture wouldn't make a very good banner. I made it take up as much space as I could; that's technically over the pixel height limit already.

I work for the HAB. :P And honestly, there are people far better at it than I am; I'm usually just more willing to do it.

Ffffff. The tank is an excellent addition. But then again, I have no artistic skill and it is your banner.

Yeah, I'd like to include the rear portion of the tank as well, but that would require either distorting the image or simply resizing the while thing smaller. That's 130 pixels tall.

Thats good Rogue, but how about a dark green color behind the text. Or something more like MJOLNIR Armor.

What color do you want the text, then? Black on dark green doesn't show well.

Make the background of the text black, and then put the text as this color. Only brighter

Bah. Forgot that background colors blur when you save as a jpeg and put text on it. :( Right, start over and this time make a note to save as a .png. *Grumble*
