Forum header images...

Really, mine are ugly as sin.

The brief:

The header is 1600px wide by 100px high.

The header should accommodate the forum name as a clickable area that always takes you 'home'. It should also be readable.

The header needs to have some space for highlighting major things that are coming up. So you should consider a text region, and if you are doing photos consider both a non-highlight area (photo) and a highlight area (photo faded + text?).

The header should hint at where we are... if it's photos having something as subtle as English street signs are enough. It must be obviously not USA or anywhere else.

The footer needs to be a definite end of the page. And only needs to encapsulate that what is currently in the grey bar at the bottom (links to the right, server time to the left).

The total weight of images/graphics must not exceed 50KB.
Any animation should be kept subtle and only used to enhance the header/footer.

I'll pick the best design and will pay £25 for it, or 3 shirts of your choice (providing we have them).

VB i like the sky line. its my sanctuary in my shitty office. :(

keep skyline, but i want the eye to spin again!

• another 1.
  

I like the skyline also..
lets have a vote with the new entries up against the old one?

Nah, we'll change it.

If someone wants to make a version that isn't quite so Rapha'd up or with such a bad image for a skyline then cool.

thus spoke velocityboy.

People so fearful of change.

I'll knock out a few designs when I get home later.

I think a vote is in order though - this is a democracy after all... isn't it?

i bet you knock out a few at home ;)

It's a benevolent dictatorship.

I'll always try and listen and do what the community wants (yes we'll have a poll), but the mass aren't always right (just look at politics in this country for a great example).

Something that calls car drivers cunts might win the popular vote, but let's not kid ourselves I'll not be making that the header.

i'm sure there'll be a stunning new design, it's a good idea.

i expect Tynan's head has already exploded at the possibilites

can we have sano wheelieing across the top?? full size of course.

For the record, Sano isn't actually that short. He's 5foot 8inches.
This is just dogs thinly veiled attempt to flirt with him!

High 5

a) he is a midget
b) i've got my eye on robofoxx
c) shinscar is the one asking people to touch his balls.

a) No he isn't
b) Robofoxx isn't interested and the courts are already processing the restraining order
c) Shinscar is a Hong Kong Lady Boy and devoid of balls.

Try again...

there is plenty of room with 'exceptionally short person'

dogs you're not that tall, you're only average.

I was disappointed when I met Sano. I was expecting a rather small individual, but an average sized man was there instead.

On the other hand, all my expectations were met and exceeded with Shinscar.

Dogs is just jealous because Sano is good lucking and has a girlfriend, two things that he'll never experience himself.

horatio dont make me kick you in the nuts

I'm shorter than sano, as sano pointed out at polo on sunday...

shortarse :)
