Re: CiA Banner Contest! - Rund - 09-21-2012 Aww, I made three banners, but I can't participate! Good luck to all who try to make something! Edit Oh, I just had to make one Re: CiA Banner Contest! - TonyMarony - 09-21-2012 ;D And if there is a fail - It was Tony leading... : Anyways, nice Idea! I´d say, what ever there is, there is definitely fun! Keep it coming Guys! Re: CiA Banner Contest! - setup - 09-23-2012 Hi Guys, Have no experience in this stuff, but I want Variable's mouse ;D So here are some examples for now, the slogan can be changed of course, tried to play with the words , sort of double meaning, well... btw, I like planes... Cheers Re: CiA Banner Contest! - Gary - 09-23-2012 Very Nice Setup they look great! I especially like the second one. " Fly by the seat of your pants do you " Regards Gary Re: CiA Banner Contest! - setup - 09-23-2012 Thanks Gary! I'm thinking of more slogans, and thought of providing the template so the slogan can be changed from time to time. Regards Ron/Setup Re: CiA Banner Contest! - setup - 09-28-2012 Since we are more infantry oriented group than airborne (as my earlier banners might imply), I made more banners. If you have any improvements suggestions, like changing colors/slogans/" go learn some more photoshop"... post them here : Re: CiA Banner Contest! - Rund - 09-28-2012 Go learn some more Photoshop! Nah, kidding. I love the "We aim to please" idea  However, I'd say, less is more, so lose the left scope on the first one, and make the CiA logo transparant. On the second one, try to make the transition of the images in the center, so you have the vertical line behind the logo. Try to play with the blending options in Photoshop for the text, some soft shadows, stroke or glow makes the text more readable and stand out. Re: CiA Banner Contest! - setup - 09-28-2012 I actually do it all in simple paint mixed with Picasa... I don't have Photoshop or any knowledge with it... I accept your ideas, but couldn't accomplish that with paint alone... will see what I can do with the help of a friend, maybe... P.S. feel free to download and modify if you like... Re: CiA Banner Contest! - Gary - 09-28-2012 If you cant get your hands on Photoshop, Try Gimp its got near enough all the same things as Photoshop and its free                                    http://www.gimp.org/ Regards Gary. Re: CiA Banner Contest! - setup - 09-29-2012 I heard of gimp, you have to learn it as well, not very simple, so I still use the primitive/simple ways. More, in two flavors... Many "smart" slogans came up to my mind here, under the sniper rifle, to mark the position of the missing new recruits etc'... : "Don't be invisible" join bla bla.. "Here is / this is your spot", "Where are you?!" "We have a place for you" "Can you aim?" "Do you see us?" "We have the correct aim" "Wonder aimlessly??" "Need a target in life?" "Dont hide there..." "Grab a gun..." "Good camouflage..." "We can't see you..." well, you got the point...pick what you like... Cheers... ;D Re: CiA Banner Contest! - Variable - 10-13-2012 Armaholic homepage now shows one of Setup's banners. This is a good chance to announce him as the winner of the banner making contest! See you soon at work to give you the prize... Re: CiA Banner Contest! - Rund - 10-13-2012 Congrats setup! Too bad there was no competition, but an easy win is a win! Re: CiA Banner Contest! - setup - 10-15-2012 Thanks!, Yea, unfortunately no one competed, it could have been interesting, put up a graphic card for the win next time and then we'll see... Hopefully I've created enough banner type/ideas to cover the lack of competition/banners. Currently I'm abroad at work, miss playing with you guys, Hopefully be back on the weekend. See you guys later and "Kill Them All!"...  Re: CiA Banner Contest! - Varanon - 10-15-2012 Well, I would have competed if my graphical skills wouldn't suck so much |
