Have your fanart/banners shown at the top of the VB board.

We have some of the most artistic fans for our board Ive seen around. Im sure you can come up with some really good banners for the board. So, Design and create Banners for our board to make it a bit more attractive... A few guidlines though:

• Only Use VB Characters/Images/Pics/Etc..
• Dont make it too large or we wont be able to post it up there
• Include important links to VB related Events/Episodes/News/Merch/Etc..
• Include your SN on it so you can get your VB Banner Glory
  

For now we'll just go down the list. Post one, it'll get posted. No one will have more than 2 posted per 3 months though. So lets begin this.. Hope it turns out well.

What's considered "too large"?

It might be nice to have a listed size limit.

Like for instance, 800 x 200 and under 100k?

[Milarkie]

I dont know whats too large in terms of dimensions; however, you can use percents instead of px. So, for widths you could use 100% or so that way it'll fit to the boards constrictions rather than stretching the board. Go ahead and make one using px if you want. We'll put it up there temporarily and see if it stretches. It should be able to NOT stretch the board for most users so it should conform to those who are using 800x600 resolution as a minimum.

Should the image itself be designed with ''links'' (though these change, so..), or will links be added on afterwards, so like, the image would be designed with blank space for links to be inserted?

100% of what? o.O

Nevermind, I'll play with one and set it at 800 x 350.

That should be a good size.

You could always test images and see what you like size wise.

[The_Wizard_of_Truth]

Alright, I made something quick.

Even if you don't like it, it'll do for testing appropriate image sizes.

I like the idea of having them already in... that way it's less work... for us. lol

[Milarkie]

I think that may be a tad bit too tall. And It stretches 800x600 screens a bit sideways.

I like the abstract nature of it. Very nicely done.

[Milarkie]

I think this might turn out well. =)

[The_Wizard_of_Truth]

Well that one was 800x350 pixels.

I'll get you a smaller version of it to try.

I didn't see it in action, so what would be good?

90%? 80%? of the orignal size about?

*bows* Thanks.

Maybe once we find a good pixel dimension, it can become the first banner.

Lemme know how the dimensions on this are: link

80 might be the better option. If you're on now, I can show you.

[The_Wizard_of_Truth]

Here's the 80% size version.

This one is 640 x 280 px.

If you think it needs to be smaller still, let me know.

Nice! I'm impressed.

[viperxmns]

Thanks! Now where the heck is Milarkie to answer my question.. this thread's been surprisingly inactuve for a bit.

[DRD2001]

New year. People are still coping with the holidays and getting back to work.

And I like that banner too. I like HELPeR.

[Flying_Humanoids]

Try this one on for size.

[Milarkie]

It looks fine to me, If someone has an issue with sizing we can just change it later.

First Banner:

 

[DRD2001]

It looks good. Nice work everyone! 

[The_Wizard_of_Truth]

*bows* Thank you very much for using my banner.

My name is tagged on it, just to the left of Hank.

[Flying_Humanoids]

Better version.

[TinyJoseph]

Good idea!

How often are you guys gonna change the banners?

Also, cool banner up there now.

This looks quite promising.

Question:  Do all entries MUST have links related to VB?  There isn't one for the current one (which is a pretty cool banner), so can there be ways around that? >> I don't really know how to add live links to an image  Maybe put them on either side of said banner or something?
