MaRiO FDZ Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 (edited) Ok, this is what I came up w/. Definitely not as good as something Mario could probably knock out, but I kinda like it. I wish I how to blend the 3 images together so it would have a more fluid look to it, but I just dont know enough about the program to really be able to do it. I hope ya like it. If you want something changed, lemme know, and I'll see what I can do. Hey Who said it isn't?? I like it! Nice work man Take Care Edited February 1, 2009 by MaRiO FDZ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Mark Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Here's mine - just a tiny one. I'll be kicking this one off on the weekend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
theplasticsurgeon Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 I might be a bit late here - but could anyone knock up a banner for me? I've got 3 builds underway, so all 3 aircraft alternating would be fabulous. These 3 images please: http://www.airliners.net/photo/Astraeus/Bo...-23A/1323950/M/ http://www.airliners.net/photo/British-Air...1101/0051690/M/ http://www.airliners.net/photo/Trans-World...-331/1144763/M/ Many thanks, Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Adam Baker Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 I'll play around w/ it this afternoon Tim. See what I can come up w/. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Adam Baker Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Ok, I played around w/ it today, and this is what I came up w/. I thought I was able to do pretty good for the Iron Maiden & the TWA, but I couldnt find the old British Airways logo, so I didnt have much to put in it. I hope you like it. If you'd like anything changed, let me know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Adam Baker Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Cool, Im glad you like it. However, if you could, would you mind hosting it yourself? I have it in my photobucket account, and Im trying to keep the bandwidth usage down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GCA333 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Animated banners are getting more popular! What did you do to keep the quality of the pics? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Adam Baker Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Yea, I really like the animated banners. It lets you get more info in the sig w/o making it too large. I didnt do anything special that I know of. The banner I did for Tim, and then the banner I created for myself, Im not aware of anything special for keeping the quality up on them.

GCA333 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I must have just had a pic with too much of one colour. GIF does that over large areas. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Adam Baker Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Yea, I noticed that the images I used were slightly pixalated when compared to the original images, but they still look good enough that Im not worried about it. I also think that I could have increased the picture quality when I saved the files, but Im not positive. FWIW I used Photoshop CS4 to make the benners. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GCA333 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I use GIMP. Not complaining, its free! CS4 would be great, CS3 even. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Samurai_Chris Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 Yeah, but you cant tell me that the guy in that pic wasn't manipulated in some way? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GCA333 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 No, no- I can see that too well. I'm going to stick with the GNU manipulation, but thats just me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Samurai_Chris Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 Adam, I need a new banner mate.. I like your banner rotating.. I need a new Virgin Atlantic A340, Qantas 707, Qantas A380, United 747-4, RAAF Hawk 127, Australian Army Eurocopter Tigre. No rush! :( Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Adam Baker Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Sure thing man. I'll work on it tomorrow when I get home from work. If you can get me pic's similar to what your looking for, I'll see what I can put together. Are they all for GB's? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Adam Baker Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Did some searching over on Airliners.net. For the Qantas 707, do you want me to use the same picture that I used in your current banner, since it closely matches what your building? How are these for pic's?

Cloggy Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I did this very simple one.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Adam Baker Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Not bad, I like that. One thing though, banners are limited to 750 pixels wide by 150 pixels tall, so you're going to need to make that one shorter. The moderators tend to be good about asking banners be changed, instead of just deleting them, but I just thought I'd let ya know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
