I spoke to Bindy & he said he wants to make it a Tech/Trendwhore theme this week.

Vercz · Post by **Vercz** » Wed Sep 29, 2004 2:09 am

pray tell, what exactly does a Tech/Trendwhore theme look like??

That banner was a total fluke, Tidus. Next to what exile, Bindy and the other real graphix guys can do, it's not really all that good, but thank you for the compliment /smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

we'll go an extra day due to the site being down. if any of you have your banners hosted on your staff site, move them to [url="http://www.killanet.net/uploader/index.php"]our uploader[/url] as we don't have all of the staff sites back online yet.

Vercz... Text is a lil hard to see, and try to minimilise your background a bit and add a few more techy elements and your on your way. I'd also try to work with a higher resolution to give yourself a bit more room to work. /bigwink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />
HoaX`... Nice work here. Youve pretty much covered all aspects of composition. Gradient looks great and the colour scheme you've chosen has a cool feel to it. Gj m8. /bigwink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />
Sp3c... I really like this peice here. Nice abstract techy look to it. Maybe just enlarge the text a lil and it'll be my choice. Gw bra. /bigwink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />
Your works are all great... Just learn to take a lil more time with them.
It's just a thought guys, don't take me to heart here.

And keep up the good work! /GGCoffee.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='(coffee)' />

well done everyone, maybe i'll enter the next one /ggidea.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='(idea)' />

Sp3culuM · Post by **Sp3culuM** » Sun Oct 03, 2004 11:31 pm

lol, thanks for the comments Bindy but I didn't really put any effort into this and couldn't settle on a nice font so I went with that (ugly looking) pixel font. All the parts I used in that banner were taken from my other works /whistle.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='(whistle)' />

Baralai · Post by **Baralai** » Mon Oct 04, 2004 3:39 am

Nice work Dave. I like the colour scheme of it mang.
And soz Tam, i was just cruising on these guys and missed the frontpage.
I like the feel to your work, nice and dark & brooding, sort of like an alien feel to it!
The only real lack in the peice is maybe just a lil techy bitmapping, and maybe if you choose a matching colour blend for the text instead of keeping it that clolour would bring it out a lil and give the peice a fresh new look to it.
Since i've joined here, you of all people have jumped in leaps and bounds girl. /bigwink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />

The only real advice i can give to you all is ...
1. Take a lil more time with things and never rush a peice... [It'll show in the end.]
2. Plan out what in the composition you want to achieve beforehand... [It saves a hell of alot of time.]
3. Stay away from filters... [They just look plain crap.]
4. Enjoy making the peice and have fun doing it... [If you hate the idea... you'll hate your work.]
5. If you don't know how to use a program?... Just keep using it... [You'll get the hang of it after a while.]

Enjoy & Destroy all.

what's techy bitmapping? /blink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':blink:' />

I'll set up the poll as soon as I get the one missing banner from Hoax` as it's not fair to start the voting without the one entry, and not all of the staff sites have been re-uploaded yet.

Hoax` I need your second banner entry please, that is the one which is missing. Thanks /smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

Plus Dio has PROMISED me at least one banner for this competition and he knows he better make one or it'll be /2.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='(stir)' /> /brows.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='(brows)' /> /stare.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='(stare)' />
