New SM Banner - Wanna Try?
 

SM banner -

Hello

I have a couple of people having a go on the new SM banner

If anyone would like a go then feel free to take a little pressure of your favourite Admin :D (hey no offence Dave but they have all told me they like me more)

Right here is the needed info

-------------------------------------

1. The dragon is available in the t-shirt competition area.

2. You will need to probably do an "auto levels adjust" in ps to brighten it a little.

3. I would like the banner to be "alike" the SLW and S-max sites... max screen shot can be found in the members area under the simply3dmax.com thread http://www.forum.simplymaya.com/show...?threadid=3929 .

4. Just need the banner - not any tables :)

5. Remember to keep your psd so that changes can be made.

6. The banner must be able to resize in a 800 x 600 browser.

7. I need the following names:

HOME - VIP AREA - FREE TRAINING - FORUM - SHOP - HOSTING
GALLERY - 3D MODELS - PLUGINS - SHADERS - CHAT - TEXTURES - SIMPLY CHALLENGE - FAQ

More may follow so make sure to keep that in mind :)

8. NO java / dhtml type dropdowns

9. NO Flash Macromedia

10. No spinning "things" or "flashing" lights

11. We would like you to add the words near the "Simply Maya words" = "A member of the Simply3dworld.com sites" or
"Part of the Simply3dworld Group"

OR a little Logo that will go on each site to represent this "community"

- but be careful with colours as it needs to go on all :) - In fact a logo sounds better...but hey lets see some ideas.

12. I really have to like this for it to go on - I know some of you think the site banners are "to" plain or "wrong text" etc... But I go out to a "whole range of people" and not just individuals.

The site has a big audience so keep things nice and clean, nice lines and a good layout and that’s all we need.

13. Sorry to be so bossy :D But it is representing not just SM now but all the other sites to - so needs to be good :) plus - this is your home as well as mine

14. Credits: Credits will be given for ANY work done but this won’t be displayed on the site as this looks tacky. I would have to say "Well It’s my idea but Craig done the dragon, but Dave chose the colours and bob made it link" etc... I think you get the point.

I will not have a piece of text on the site saying "designed by ******"

If anyone asks they will be told who was involved. Maybe one day a page can go up with credits on. This is by no means a guarantee but it may happen

14. Thanks for any help given

wow total revamping all the simply maya stuff nice idea kev :D

What about using the word network? Sounds a bit more .... professional?

yep sure thing

I'm thinking of giving it a go, where should I post it when I'm done?

George

post it here mate! :) and Thanks

Well, I'm not totally thrilled with these designs, but maybe it'll spark up some ideas.. I was trying to make the circle behind the simplymaya.com be a world for the simply3dworld.com logo, but not sure if that translates well. I removed it from the second one.

I tried to match the other site's banners, but I'll some others one a bit different to see what you guys think. here they are:

Don't know how to post two pics in one post:confused:

here's the 2nd version:

VERY nice work, however, will it squash and strech to fit a minimum 800x600 monitor res?

If so, cool!

(actually, the true lcd for 800x600 is actually more around: 770x420)

Thanks Rage,
I'm not sure about the 800x600 thing... what would I need to do to make sure it's possible?

I'm thinking of submitting some different desigs, but I need to know this first...

Thanks,
George

i really like it.. mate do a screen shot of the current sm site and see if it goes with it...

if you can find a way to resize that it would be cool!!

thats the thing with resizing lol its a pain,

But I thank you a lot george for putting some in here!!!!!

a little more info...

height "around 137- 140"

maybe do a blue ish colour cloud transform so if fits a little better?

has good promise though mate!

I'm trying to fit fire into mine, but it might not fit.... that dragon is so damn cool, I'd hate to steal some of its' spotlight:)
