Hey, I need help with a sig banner.

Agent Fisher · Post by **Agent Fisher** » 2004-12-08 10:35pm

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.

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?

Rogue 9 · Post by **Rogue 9** » 2004-12-09 09:22pm

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

Agent Fisher · Post by **Agent Fisher** » 2004-12-09 09:37pm

Those are good but,

Here is one I like better, and this is the 800 version.

Or this one.

Rogue 9 · Post by **Rogue 9** » 2004-12-10 12:59am

It will be done.

Rogue 9 · Post by **Rogue 9** » 2004-12-10 01:40am

Like it? I can make adjustments if you'd like.

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

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.

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.

Rogue 9 · Post by **Rogue 9** » 2004-12-10 03:29pm

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.

Agent Fisher · Post by **Agent Fisher** » 2004-12-10 05:21pm

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

Rogue 9 · Post by **Rogue 9** » 2004-12-10 05:32pm

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

Agent Fisher · Post by **Agent Fisher** » 2004-12-10 05:40pm

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

Rogue 9 · Post by **Rogue 9** » 2004-12-10 05:41pm

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*

Rogue 9 · Post by **Rogue 9** » 2004-12-10 05:53pm

There. Final product.

Corran Horn · Post by **Corran Horn** » 2004-12-11 09:07am

t bored so I made one for you as well

It was pretty slap dash. Only 10 mins of work

Rogue 9 · Post by **Rogue 9** » 2004-12-11 09:08am

Too big. That sucker's 150 pixels high.

Corran Horn · Post by **Corran Horn** » 2004-12-11 09:17am

The resized version of it

Pcm979 · Post by **Pcm979** » 2004-12-11 09:23am

Unreadable.
