Requesting a banner

Post by **NightStorm** » Tue May 01, 2007 7:04 pm

So, heres the challenge. I need a site banner... standard size to fit the request... it\'ll be an animated gif, of course, has to have the following text in it (yes, this is news at the same time):

12 Stones 3rd album \"Anthem For The Underdog\"
Release Date August 14 2007
Click To Listen To \"Lie To Me\"

It must have this

attachment

included in it somewhere... either as a fade-out with the above text fading in at the same time, then back out, or as the background, or whatever...

Background? Whatever... this is the promo image they used for the last CD,a nd it was shrunk and placed on the edge of the banners, so whatever: http://www.12stones.com/images/homePageBlock.gif

Anyone up for the challenge?

I\'ll try to get to it if I have time between studying for two major exams, work, starting a new job, my website, and a couple other web sites that I\'ve picked up for business..... <img src=\'http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/s ... ocking.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'(ack)\' />

Okay, if this will speed things up for anyone... it doesn\'t have to be animated anymore. Just needs to look good. <img src=\'http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/s ... igwink.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\';)\' />

Does it absolutely have to be that exact 12 Stones image?

Or the Font, yeah

Yeah I can keep the font, just the image text style isn\'t working for me right now <img src=\'http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/s ... >/blum.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':P\' />

=( I can\'t find my animation software >< what font is the logo btw?

Post by **NightStorm** » Thu May 03, 2007 2:38 pm

It\'s never been reelased... it\'s a custom one that Wind-Up did a few years ago.

Animation Software? I used Adobe Photoshop CS3 (CS2 also has animation)

If you load the current 12 stones logo Nightstorm provided in a new layer, control + click on the layer to select the text and it will make a selection... fill it...or make it even easier and on the 12 stones logo layer, ctrl + u (Hue & Saturation adjustments) and bump the brightness all the way up or down to create a solid color layer.

From there I just applied my own layer styles. lol.
