Link Banners!

[Merc]

Okay, just as we asked for forum banners, we're now asking for link banners. There's no real restriction here, as it doesn't have to coordinate with something really. Link banners are on the norm, small though, ranging from the size of an avatar, to the size of a sig. Don't make a huge page-sized link banner for example.

Besides that, just...well, make it cool looking! ^_^

And viewers, even if you don't participate, at least pick your favorite link banner, and add it to your sig at other places you chat in, put in your blogs, put it in your websites. Or hell, just put the link there, even without the banner! ^_^

Do make sure that when you link to the forum, you link to the front page though, not directly to the forum. Ie, to http://pishoque.net/soulriders/ and not http://pishoque.net/phpBB2/index.php

So anyway...

SATURATE THE NET WITH THE COOLNESS!

^_^

What dimensions should a link banner be?

[thepanda]

<Thepanda> Poke stab stab poke-a-lot
<Makoto> o.O
<Thepanda> What size do the banners need to be?
<Makoto> forum banners or link banners?
<Thepanda> Er, both?
<Makoto> Forum banners: 392x100 is default (can be as wide as 425 though. 100 height tops though)
* Thepanda nods
<Makoto> link banners, any size is accepatable really. I wouldn't recommend over 600 pixels wide or 400 pixels high
<Makoto> and usually, link banners are either much smaller (like 200x50)
<Makoto> or very thin and long (500x75)
<Makoto> link banners, really, just browse around webpages and see what sizes they have

Okay, let's try tweaking some of my forum banner designs.

[Edward]

And a couple more.

And the rest.

I like the Vampire Princess ones. Why don't those ever pop up?

[Dracos]

Odds are you aren't using chronicles and they are likely set for that since they blend nicely with the wood tone.

Hm. My very first banner, ever. Not to mention my first time using photoshop. Opinions welcomed.

I'm tempted to submit one, but i don't think my last ones were too well-conceived. I'll get back to you on it.

Change your background skin, I believe some of yours are there.

[thepanda]

Better fonts (Thanks Merc), better quality picture, a slightly better familiarity with PS, and far fewer effects.

Ed: Minor Typo. Should be "conceived."

EDIT: "I before 'e' except after 'c'"

EDIT: Right. Didn't see that 'c' there.
