you are right, Wallace, i have eagle eyes
sometimes that helps, sometimes people find it unnerving

for me the 'M' of your text has these little "steps", that i find aestethically unpleasing
especially when everything else is so nice and perfect !

text is kind of my speciality, yes
i just find it easy and pleasing to do
others find it lame, and i see their point

anyway, love your stuff !


Thanks and I do see what you're saying...
BTW, your text is top-notch in my book. You are without a doubt a text guru, 'lame' I think not. ;)

Even though my banner is not elaborate as some others why not give it a try. So here it is.

Thanks man, appreciate it. I always have a hard time coming up with a background. I had other chains in the BG initially, but it was just too much. Then I thought about making a chain border, but didn't have enough room by then, and didn't feel like resizing everything.

The new banners are now in rotation.

There are 48 total banners rotating once every 30 minutes, so it will take 24 hours to rotate though all the banners. Maybe I'll change this to every 15 minutes so it will rotate through all the banners twice each day.

thanks man
theres really nothing special about it

just alpha select the text, shrink and cut, so you get a frame
then layerfx bevel and tightening the highlight with an alpha-curve

You'd have to crop it to 930x200 but I like your idea, Conbagui.

Something like this..

Edit: I see that you've updated the back wall to include wilber. :bigthup

I like the faster rotation idea...every 15 or even 10 minutes. I love seeing all the different ones. They are inspiring.

OK, let's give 15 minutes a try. Using the old rotation scheme, a given banner was only displayed for 3 minutes, every two hours. Now it will be 15 minutes, every twelve hours.

Thought I would have another try. Don't bother me if you use it or not. I just had fun making it.

Nice banner, Sallyanne. :hi5

I'll try to get all these new ones into rotation soon.

I'm posting K1's banner from another thread, so I have everything in one place and don't forget.

Wow! I just love that room. Looks like one heck of a lot of steps to do that one.
