Banners must:
- be 1500 pixels long by 250 pixels high (1100 pixels by 250 pixels is also acceptable if you need to reduce the file size)
- have the main subject/focus in the first 1000 pixels (anything past it will be truncated on a 1024x???? pixel screen; see template)
- be PNG format
- be 1MB or smaller (##Temporary posterize tutorial##)
- not include sexually explicit content
- not include sexually suggestive content
- not be a duplicate of any BakaBT.com banner in entirety or partiality (to prevent legal issues from forming and any unintentional site affiliation)
- use good quality pictures (pixelation and JPEG artifacts are NOT appealing, see this example of JPEG artifacts. )
- use a character or characters from an anime, game, or manga series
- not include a border of any kind
- be uploaded to this thread as PNG only (Any other file types uploaded will be deleted without exception.)
- include character(s) name(s) and source in the post (including in the banner is optional) which will help posting the correct info for the banner in the Graphic Designers Page

A moderator or administrator will review your banner after submission (this may take a day or two). Any banner that does not follow the rules will be deleted without exception. If your banner was not accepted, a mod or admin will post why it was rejected. If you have any further questions, please direct your question to an administrator or moderator.

This template is 1500x250px PNG and shows what is/isn't viewable on a 1024x???? pixel screen, you will want to keep your main subject/focus in the green area as it will not be viewable in the red area.

Yo.

I slapped two together for the site, if you are dissatisfied or just want minor/major changes don't hesitate to ask.

They both look good. The sky for the Bleach one may become a problem, but we'll let you know after Rei puts them into the banner rotation.

Was just about to address that. I was about to propose to remove the blue coloring and just keep it white and stylistically pure. Like this:

We'll see what happens when Rei gets around to adding them into the banner rotation.

I'm liking the white version even better! I'll get that one rotating soon.

I can make many changes to the CSS to accommodate any banner.
Layer 1: Optional Repeatable Background Image [ Default: Unused ]
Layer 2: Banner Image Aligned {Left, Center, Right } [ Default: Left ] With Solid Background Color [ Default: #d8eaff ]
Layer 3: Text [ Default: Transparent Gradient to Sharpen Text on any image ]

私は日本語を少し読むと書くをできます。あなたも？

Here's my updated banner Rei. Finally got it done while I was waiting for Ubuntu 10.10 PPC to update.




Now we can get rid of that gradient! lol

Got invited to make some banners, quickly whipped one up. Tell me what you think :3
