Yeah, I need 2 images per forum, the background and the image that goes on top of it. You could email the psds one per email or whatever
What do you mean by "background" and "the image that goes on top of it"... For example I have the Blackhawks.. Red background with logo and text all in one image.
The banner is made of 3 images. One is 1 pixel wide. I need that one. I use HTML and CSS to stretch it across the width of the page automagically. The other is just the center bit, like this one: The center bit was rendered in the paint program on top of the gradient (1 pixel wide) one so it antialiases properly. The gradient image looks like this for the blue skin: The third is "powered by sportstwo" which is already done. I don't need you to make that. Just the two per forum as described here.
Okay just clearifying.. Sorry if I'm making you repeat yourself.. I'm a visual person, not one who understands words that well..
http://sportstwo.com/forums/185-NFL-General This forum has no banner because one was never made. Similarly, we need a general purpose NBA one and NHL one, etc.
How's this? Figuring we'd use a black-red-white scheme since that is more or less the official scheme of MMA....
You wanna use the same overlay as the rest of the forum? We can easily give you that and you can place it over the banner. Your fonts are off to.
I'm expecting to do the NHL forums this weekend. After that, I'm counting on you (DPGB) to help get the rest of the forums done as well. This means: Soccer Generic NBA (for NBA General) OT Generic MLB (for MLB General) etc. Soccer is clearly the next biggest priority.
I'll make whatever you put in front of me.. But not anytime soon since I have a team every day next week.
There's something stopping me from doing the NHL forums. I didn't mention that I need one more graphic per forum: It has to be unique per forum and match the team/banner colors.
Is that one attainable from the NFL/NBA forums? I know Im going to have to make one for a few other colors, but I can't right now. Taking a bit of a break from studying.
I'll use the blue one. When you make new ones or grab ones from the other forums, we can overwrite the files and the themes will be fixed. The file names will be bar_blackhawks.gif, bar_redwings.gif, and so on.
Oh and I also put in two banners for a few teams.. Whatever one looks more legible to you, use that one.
You're going to have to fix up the zip you sent me and resend it I need: blackhawksfiller.jpg + blackhawkscenter.jpg redwingsfiller.jpg + redwingscenter.jpg etc. If you use the gold background for 2 teams, make 2 copies and name them accordingly. The way the ducks and combat sports forums got done is Speeds got me on IM and we went back and forth on this kind of stuff until it was done right. He was able to load the forum pages and tell me what he wanted fixed up. For the NFL and NBA forums, we had done this already for vb3.
No ANA copy.jpg ATL copy.jpg black_filler.jpg black_left.jpg blue_filler.jpg blue_left.jpg BOS copy.jpg and so on.
