gf banner idea

[egg-whites333]

Hey guys, I was bored so I decided to make a gf dark blue banner. I dont care if its used or not but I made one for people to see. I know there is a slim chance of it being used I would like some ideas to make it better and if possible the hex codes for the proper grey and blue and the green for the dark green one.

I think it's really good, apart from the font. It really doesn't appeal to me, keep up the good work though, I think it would be great with a nicer font!

^ That. Maybe a different color would work better too!

Uh. You used Comic Sans.
Pretty sure that makes all art, herein void and invalid.
Sorry, but your princess is in another castle.

You should make a banner for Blue World. All I see is "Gamers Forum" and a broken jpeg.

im sorry i dont follow wht your saying

I'll translate

"Any type of art that uses that font immediately sucks, no matter how good the rest of it is"

Is this the right castle its for blue world. http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/n514/egw333/gaf2.png

did'nt notice that blueworld had the broken image on the right. needs to find it later.

good banner you have but it doesn't look like you're using the same blue for the background there so it wont blend in properly.


all these looks will be useless when i find the cash and time to upgrade to the new vb. none of them will work with the new software, will neeed to start fresh.

keep up the work tho, you got a lot better than when you first started

[egg-whites333]

ya i ws oping for the hex code for blue world

[LiNuX]

The background is an image that you can right click, save, and reuse. Some of the blue text uses this I believe: #0681E6

[egg-whites333]

here wit the proper colour i think. http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/n514/egw333/gaf2-1.png

When you change the forum, make sure you have a theme similar to Blue World. I really like it, it feels nice and open. The darker ones are kinda claustrophobic feeling for some reason

I totally agree, Blue World is the only usable theme in my opinion.. It makes everything cleaner and easier to see. Please have one like this when you update!

I only use Dark GF. The other's are ridiculously hideous, except for the Dark Blue.

Personally, on the banner -- you need a font representative of the art you're working on it for. I'll try not to delve too deep into the mechanics of the art, but the piece needs to fit together harmoniously, or it all seems to fail itself. Like making a pie; one poor ingredient is the difference between absolute success and utter failure.

The font needs also to be styled, because as is -- it meshes too hard into the image and it's painful to look at.

Another thought is to find some sort of design or style that isn't so blocky. Take the over-all dimensions of the banner and then add depth to it -- Look @ the Dark GF style.

The depth of the text, the drop-shadow and the brush art flair in the background, coupled with some good renders and you're solid. Nothing fancy, but clean. Chic. G33k Chic. (Pronounced sh - eek)

Much better than the first shot though.
