Title: Creation of Banners?
Post by: DepthBlade on February 19, 2004, 11:30:46 pm: I see some pretty nice banners as peoples signatures I was wondering what program you guys are using to create them?

Post by: AendarCallenlasse on February 19, 2004, 11:32:06 pm: I use PSP 8

Post by: Deddarus on February 19, 2004, 11:34:52 pm: do we have an artists guild anywhere?...

if we did they could provide a banner making service for the less artisticly inclined

Post by: Axsyrus on February 19, 2004, 11:41:19 pm: I use PhotoShop Creative Studio(or just 8), made about all of AO\'s art with it, sigs, layout etc.

Post by: Boldstorm on February 19, 2004, 11:42:15 pm: I just used MS Paint for this one but for other ones I have done in the past I used either Photoshop or Corel Draw. I think there are a few posts in the Fan Art section about people who will do sigs for you.

Post by: AendarCallenlasse on February 19, 2004, 11:45:49 pm: Yeah I don\'t think we have an artist\' guild but we have plenty of artists and I\'m sure if you ask nicely they will be happy to make a sig or two.

Post by: Xalthar on February 20, 2004, 03:31:26 pm: I use the same program as Axsyrus, and it\'s pretty awesome to say the least :)

Post by: DepthBlade on February 20, 2004, 03:56:21 pm: Well if any artist guild should appear or anyone has spare time can someone make me a banner? I have no artistic talent what so ever and I would like to have one. If your willing just speak up, if your not thats alright.

Post by: Niber on February 22, 2004, 11:05:09 pm: keep in mind that a large procent of the nice sign around here contains stolen copyright artwork by a uncredited artist.
So they are not all very talented photoshoppers..

Ouch.

Here is where the original unicorn from the mirth guild sig was designed by Kirk of Fuel. http://scenecity.planet-d.net/wirpic.html

And the helmet is a pic of a real one from this website.
http://www.medievalarmor.net/store/Helmets2002.htm

My work was placement of the pictures along with my own rendering of them, and overall shape, color and design of the sig.

Post by: Karosh_Steinkatz on February 24, 2004, 06:14:13 pm: I used PSP 5 in windows before, but since I use Linux now im using Gimp (my sig took a lot of time because I was not used to Gimp :rolleyes: )

Post by: DepthBlade on February 24, 2004, 06:35:51 pm: I have respect for people that can design a original banner that looks awesome even if it doesn\'t, it takes time and effort and thought :) Good job your guys banners look awesome, one day ill buy a program and try my luck at it hopefully :)
