Ditto for the Harlock banner. Leiji Matsumoto is my idol.

Last day of January. And I like what I see from Arrianna on the 1st page of this thread. That is really top work and blows me away.

Does this mean you and Cldmani are still working on your banner?

Yeah, but we're still somewhat unclear as to how the banner is supposed to work with the current template. The 3 layers of colors protruding from the top right side (white/dark purple/purple) make it confusing as to how the banners are supposed to blend in. Even looking at your submissions, which are good btw , they fade into black which would clash with the 3 layers of colors just mentioned.

I may need to be corrected on this but I don't believe they are keeping the current template at all. The point is to make a new template.

Now I don't make web pages but I think what they do is make a cell background that matches the right side of the banner that can be stretched to fit the size of someone's monitor display no matter what that is. So it doesn't really matter what you have on the right side as long as it's something that can be matched to the background when stretched.

So basically you need:

• some type of variable background that they can add different textures etc. too.
• An element along with the site name (Anime Online) that will remain constant.
• A swappable foreground that can have different images for the "rotation".
• A consistent stretchable border on the right side.

... I just asked Barronmore and he gave me a big long explaination on how it worked that went right over my head. He did say that it should be possible to "align center" a banner as well. Same issue though, the edges on either side need to be able to match a stretched cell background so that it looks alright.

Ah I see. That makes things much clearer although I wish the contest description would've made all that clearer initially. Anyways I appreciate all the clarifications.

Personally I don't like the cookie cutter banner idea and judging from the number of entries not many other GFX people around here do either. I say we either change it to a freestyle contest or Arrianna wins by default (given there are no other entries...and doesn't appear there will be).

I think doing the freestyle thing is a good idea. I've tried to make a reusable template thing or some kind of constant in the image but it's not working.

Can we switch back to how the old logo system was? With the logos that looked like sigs?

I personally don't mind it not being "freestyle". I have no need to edit the templates in photoshop. A simple jpg file would be fine I would think.
