Hittokiri Zero Posted June 1, 2003 Share Posted June 1, 2003 Rough Draft. Blog: Colors don't match with OB... sooo -_o I can make a new style if I feel like it. Is some of the faded text too hard to read? There's some kind-of plain-ish space I might elaborate on. Sure the banner's differnt but I didin't feel like using any filters, just used all brushing again x_X. The entire black space is not part of the banner if you didn't notice look at the banner closer if your confused. Colors came out darker than they were supposedto again =\ Now that I look at it OB text is kinda of small-ish -_-. The colors of the text that says "profiel" and "enjoy!" are purposley different. Organized Blog: eh... you guys wanted it I didn't... :rolleyes: ... I basically had to try and make a laser beam like thing hitting a planet and kind of making it get melted away so that came out pretty good... I stuck the Alucard pic in because this is a mainly based Anime Forum and the picture just kind of matched... Anyway I'm really dissapointed of how the colors look so dark when saved as a jpeg yet when saved as a PSD look smack, the way the colors came out kind of makes the banner a lost cause... =\... oh well back to the drawing boards... Enough stalling i'm too lazy to upload this... *attach* edit: text does look faded a little too much to me... and I might go back and create a subtle techy grid effect for fun. :sleep: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spikey Posted June 1, 2003 Share Posted June 1, 2003 Here's my submition, not a background, I didn't put one, it didn't look good with one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hittokiri Zero Posted June 1, 2003 Share Posted June 1, 2003 It's kind of plain, and the images look jaggedy :P. But argh *waves hands in the air* look at my banner -___- not much better I guess... :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarK DeatH Posted June 1, 2003 Share Posted June 1, 2003 Yours is very nice Hittokiri... How did you make that beam hitting the planet? That's very cool... Although I think you should make all the links one color only... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hittokiri Zero Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 [quote]How did you make that beam hitting the planet?[/quote] About 3 layers of airbrushing + smudge tool x__X. But it's the effect around the planet that really brings out the beam. [quote]Although I think you should make all the links one color only...[/quote] I'll take that in to consideration ^^'.

Guest Zeh Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 [color=9999cc]Wow... HZ... thats sweet. I think you should make the otaku[b]boards[/b] into Otaku[b]Boards[/b], and make all the links the same color, like DD said. I love the whole planet/laser thing you got going... Almost looks as if the planet itself is spitting out the laser. The colors all look real nice together. The pic fits in real nice, too. Real good job, thinking it's bad embarrasses me, i couldn't ever do anything like it. Spikey, you made that in paint, didn't ya? The text on the bottom really sucks, and it's all off-balance too. Should've made one long text bar, and made the text straight with it. The otakuboards text isn't all that nice either. It's real simple, too, needs something special about it... something not everyone could do.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hittokiri Zero Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 Well more than I think it's bad I just know that it's still somewhat lacking :P. It just seems incomplete to me =\. Well now that I *think* I might have got photoshop 7.0 to work I'm going to go and try to throw that quick techy grid on that I was talking about.

Boo Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 I thought that pic of Vash fitted good >.> And I just had an idea to spiff up "the negative space". =) I might get it done today... BTW: hittokiri, whit a dead cool banner, i think OB's lay out should change ;P. (and lotza peeps dont like OB's lay out.....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epitome Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by DarK DeatH [/i] [B]People, let's not fill this thread with junk posts... Like asking for how to make a banner... If you want to know that, just ask someone by IM or PM or whatever you want to, just please don't use this thread OK?[/B][/QUOTE] Now this thread is becoming filled with junk. Try to keep it to Banner discussion mainly. And will someone please post another banner. I would like to see them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomad Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 here's one i did of an anime...... The Animatrix, does that count? eh... anyways here it is. [IMG]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=405671[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epitome Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 I like it mainly but the only thing I have against it is the slash in the middle. You should keep it a full banner and put "Enter the Otaku Boards" somewhere else so that you dont have to split Fan Art and Guru from everything else. But its cool other than that.

Guest Zeh Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 [color=9999cc]Actually, that spit is one of the best parts of the banner. I can't really see somewhere i could pick on you for, nomad... I like it.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hittokiri Zero Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 The text for rules, register,etc. look's Harry potter-ish :p... which isn't really the way you want to go as far as attracing members would be. I don't like the little gap inbetween either. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juna Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 Aight, here is my first attempt at a banner for OB. Help me get better - your opinions on what I should work on. Let's all be gentle with the feedback though... ^_~ [IMG]http://www.otakulab.com/otakuboardsbanner2.gif[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zeh Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 [color=9999cc]Too pink. The majority of people hate pink, therefor it's not the best color to choose... It's not too bad though, i look forward to see some more of your work. (Remember Otaku should be un-bolded and [b]Boards[/b] should be [b]bolded[/b].)[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hittokiri Zero Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 If it's not too much to ask could the end of this content please be moved to a sooner date -_o;... submissions are dieing out, and on the 20th or whenever this is supposed to end there's a good chance I will be gone on vacation... That was going to be the one term I had before posting my banner, but then I decided to make a banner and post it for fun anyway x__X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarK DeatH Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 Here, a Iori one that I just made... Tell me what you think. [img]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=406566[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juna Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 Attempt number dos; and with no pink...tee-hee. ^_~ Comments always welcome... Dark: I really like your banner - only thing the font is a bit too small for normal folk to read, very imaginitive though. I like the blue power aura around his hand too... ^_^ [IMG]http://otakulab.com/otakuboardsbanner4.gif[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaiyanPrincessX Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 I guess this ones better than my last. :/ Dunno. Comments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epitome Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 That is definatley better than the last one. I love Trigun and Vash. Nice OB Banner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juna Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 Saiyan, I love the banner. The blend is pretty fresh behind Otaku Boards...and who can argue with Vash? *yummy* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zeh Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 [color=9999cc]Juna... i love that second one... wow... It's absolutely awesome. SPX, the Otakuboards text really doesn't fit. Same to you DD, did you custom make that text, too? I think we should close submissions June 10th. That way theres still enough time for a few more attempts, and for us to asses them all.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarK DeatH Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 Zeh: I always custom make my fonts >.> But yeah, I thought you would say that the font doesn't fit... After I was done I was pondering about changing it, but I ended up falling asleep and only waking up in the night, so yeah XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomad Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 Here's one I did about an hour ago, and was to lazy to post it. It's a Naruto (Teams 7) one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semjaza Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 Hittokiri's ([url]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=405170[/url]) is sweet. Despite there apparently being problems with it (I just skimmed all these posts), I think it's definately the best one here in the end. I have too many problems with some of the others... Otherwise, I like the one Nomad just posted and Kaisuke's orangey one. There were a couple others I liked, but many seemed either too cluttered or color faded.
