Hi All - I know you get probably a million requests, and mine I guess will be no different but maybe it will be "funner"? I have a Mac and am not sure how to go about making a banner for my new World of Warcraft guild site. I don't want to rip off others hard work so that's why I began my search to find you hopefully! I want to thank you in advance for your help.

Here are the details following the template the forum laid out, I hope I haven't forgotten anything.

Thanks again, sorry if this is long and I was not able to be specific. Hard to know what will look good...

Shanna


Type of Image (e.g Avatar, Signature, etc): Banner



Text on The Image (e.g Hi, Why?, etc):

(looking for text that is stacked, centered on banner, with 2 thin feathering out lines (of some sort) that run above and below towards sides above main guild name of "reap whats sown" - something to the effects below surrounded by a bordered edge perhaps)

You've Sown, Now You'll Reap!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------ ------------------------------
Reap Whats Sown
------------------------- ------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Beware Hordelings, We Are Your Bringers Of Death!


(it won't show it in post but tried to center the above text between the lines to show what i was meaning)



Font for the text:
(2 favs)
Drakon http://www.dafont.com/drakon.font
Abaddon

(basics we like)
Type Knight
Riven
Walkway

(tried to find some examples please use ur best judgement based on these and that we are looking for something that is not all capitals, font is mostly up/down not on slant, easily readable, sleek and stylish, powerful...also maybe it would look nice to have guild name a different font then other text? just an idea please do whatever looks best )


Images on The Image (e.g I'd like this image on this image):

i tried to list just the images but i dont know how to fit them all together....so here are some picts we liked hope you can figure out a way to a make a few of these fit together to make something nice or maybe use none go with what you think will rock it out please, we don't know what we r doing here.

this site has a border style we really like, to give you an idea - maybe can i be brown to fit with the background image below here http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p...e_Legendz1.gif

would kind of really like this to be the background of the banner, faded out alot though and the names of countries taken out i suppose

Image Colour Scheme (e.g Black & Blue, etc or you can use this site to generate a hex for your colors.):

I tried the hex site suggested, the swatch I had that matches the greens on our site is #2FCD2C, but I couldn't see what colors that meant paired with it? Your guess. Our scheme for site is this green, black, silver, and grey with white text. But we would like some color in the banner, some golds, yellow, oranges, brown - these maybe in the images, not so for the text? Like I said I don't know how to pull this all together so it looks nice, I'm just throwing stuff out there.



Image Size (e.g 90x90, 80x80, etc): the banner runs across the entire top of our site, would like it to be at least 3 inches in height or more. not sure what that means in measurements, like I said I don't know the tech. sorry....can u find out from what I listed? hope so.



Image Animations (e.g I'd like this animation, etc):
none is needed add one if it adds coolness

perhaps some from the guild banners listed above if u want


Image Side Notes (Anything else you'd like to add):

this is the link to our guild site, please take a look before making banner to get a feel for the color and layout....we have the basic package so we can't do tons of fancy things, but we can add our own banners and we would love having you make us a kick ass one.

Again thank you so much! I appreciate it more then you'll know!

Just half way, what i post there isnt the end result, nor the font, nor correct transparant.
But want a basic opinion if you like the theme i going to. Used 5 of your images hehe ,its too much yea..(edit)

wow Foemspeedy! that's fantastic! i cant' wait to put it on our site. if you would could u send me the file? would love to see what it looks like in full quality! outstanding! still love the map idea, but this by far is the leader and possibly the winner. not sure what can top that!

thanks for the aweome banner man! let me know how u want to send it to me i can give u my email if u want via some type of private message thing, if this site has one.

shanna
