(Blast from the Past Thread!) New Forum Banner - Want To Design One?

[CGP]

I am a bit tired of the banner at the top of this forum - no offence Sean - it's just that I have looked at it probably a billion times in the past 5 months!!!

It would be good if we had various different forum banners that could be rotated to keep things fresh.

If you have any design skills & want to design a banner, these are the requirements:

Dimensions:

785 (wide) x 115 (high)

------------------

Text to include:

HILLARY CLINTON FORUM (big font)
www.hillaryclintonforum.net (small font)

------------------

Style: include images of Hillary in some form or other, no flash/animation

[RE:]

Great idea, Murray!

[Ijane]

I've developed an aversion to change!

I say leave it. :)

[CGP]

I've developed an aversion to change!

I say leave it. :)

It can remain as one of a group of banners in rotation. So I won't get rid of it, but keep it as an option! ;)

[Santiago]

How about a flash or animated gif banner?

[CGP]

How about a flash or animated gif banner?

I would say no as it could be irritating on the eyes given the amount of "clicking" involved on the forum! Constant flashing at the top of the forum may cause headaches! Animation is fine in signatures though.

[Kbentleyis]

Please, I just have one request... I have dialup and if there are a lot of moving and blinking images they take so long to upload. I know, I'm a pain.

When I open a news article, it takes so long I can go for coffee and heat lunch in the microwave... ha ha ha.

[CGP]

Please, I just have one request... I have dialup and if there are a lot of moving and blinking images they take so long to upload. I know, I'm a pain.

Yes, I suggested NO flash/animation as that can slow things down.

I like the idea of having a banner rotation because there are so many beautiful pictures of Hillary. :)

[Hillarysmygirl08]

I love the new banner. I think its great.

[SoCal4Hillary]

Super!! I uploaded to the forum server to save you any traffic load!Perfect! :D

[santafegal]

Nice new banner! Love the pics of Hillary. :)

[PuppyDogMom]

Love the new banner! And it's a great idea to keep them rotating.

[Johnf]

Great banner. Stands out and like the pics.

[CGP]

If anyone has more banner ideas or would like to create one, please speak up!

[Mrsawd]

I was wondering if a A picture Of Hilary Standing in front of Our Flag with some of her supporters standing around lookin up at Hillary ! ( or around her!)
One Of Hillary with her hand over her Heart Would be a nice one! Pictures of the people around Hillary Should be all races and all ages!

With Blinking stars on a rainbow over the whole Picture surrounding The Words HillaryClintonforum!

PUMA written Down along the Side flashes slowly!


I would have to look around to see if I can find good Pictures to make nice scenery!
I do not know how to do what I am talking about thou!

[skc1976]

Hey all,

I got a little free time and did this one. :-) I wanted to focus on the cracks in the glass ceiling and that we are still united and going strong. So, I found a nice shattered glass background, added in some pics, and used a Phantom Of The Opera font that has that shatttered look. Hope you like!

[CGP]

Thanks Sean & Jen! I will add these 2 to the mix!

[hillary4change]

I wish I was more computer savvy.
I love these banners. I saw the one that was up and thought Murray did it. Now I know SoCal did it!! Good job.
Good work to you too Sean & Princesse!

[Meg]

Please rotate the banners. Surprise us!

Thanks to all the talented forum members.

It's actually not as complicated as photoshop! It took me maybe 20 minutes minutes then I figured out the basic stuff.

[Bella]

How about this pic with it..

I'm enjoying the rotating banners! A lot of them have been nice, but the current one with the big star and big red stripes (The Dreams we share are worth fighting for) is *very* striking! I like it a lot. Nice job!

[Bella]

I also made one to honor our Hillary for her upcoming speech which will coincide with the 88th aniversary of woman's right to vote, the 19th amn.

I find myself typing messages and then ending up not hitting the submit key because they are pretty vicious. Instead, I'll do something for Hillary like making banners.
