Well, this is something that would help our site to continue doing fine and get even more visits...

If anybody is good in making normal size (468x60) animated banners, and is willing to spend some time and effort to make a good looking one to be put on the Managerzone site, which johan has promised me some time ago, I'd be more than happy to send that banner in.

We are also looking for some more newsposters for the site...if you think you got the stuff it takes (plus maybe a bit more, we might need some team rumors, league reviews etc.), contact me at bluecoaster@managerzone.com

Thanks for your time.

Blue

Well you laughed at mine so... :(

I could have a go, what would ya want exactly?

I mean specific players etc

Pfft. Specific players would suck. Computer graphic players would look better. Like on the box of Virtua striker. Stuff like that. :D

What so like this off virtua striker? :p

Absolutely beautiful. Just resize it now to 468x60 and Bluecoaster has his banner. :)

I think that might be a problem seeing as there are little things called copyrights :p

ok heres a little something i put together ...........i can change text .etc if need be and i can make a variety or better ones ...... i was'nt sure how much graphics should be used but here you are .........

Erm. Well stick "© Liam Best 2003" on there then and say look, there is text on my one which claims it's mine. Plus, adding the text edits it. :D

Well, its ok, I'm not amazing at banners but I could do better, just an example, see how you like it :mrpimp:

Well, this looks great for now, the only problem would be that we need a banner for our community site, and not for MZ itself (I think they got their own web and graphic designers over there ;)).

So a change in the text would be good...if possible a bit of animation...you know like...brag about our cool forums, the downloads, etc...if not possible, static looks good too.

Ash, I didn't laugh at it...but as Johan said, it wasn't the right size ;)

Blue

P.S Any interests on newsposting (although Ash is doing one helluva work right now...props to him :))

How about something like this?

Obviously the animation will be better on the final thing and there will be other things like downloads instead of just forums.

Looks GREAT!! I'm anxious to see the final version :)

Blue

Well if Liam makes the text scroll down like Forums, Links, Downloads, Articles, Contacts etc, if he sent them to me, I would stick them in Flash and link the text so that when you click it, it take you to that webpage.

It would be great if you guys would do that...

Blue

Sorry, just went away this weekend
But!
I should get this sorted or finished for tomorrow night

Heh, we managed for two months without it, we will manage for another few days...no hurry mate :)

Blue

What do you think?

You may want to keep it rolling instead of playing it once.

It's great, I love it, although I'd have to check with Johan if 140kb would be ok...

Gareth, any chance to put it into flash?

Blue

I can do if Liam makes the .gif repeat infinitum.

Shouldn't be that hard to do.

Blue

Nah I saved two different types just incase you wanted either one :D

I will do it when I am feeling better. As you are guessing, I am still finding it hard to come to terms with Division 1. I'm still in shock just speechless. Gutted sums me up completely.

As I said, we've got time...:) I need to contact johan in the meantime.

Blue

Anyways...response from johan: "Make a regular top banner... should not be more than 15k."

:/

No Problem I'll make a new one for ya

15k. :|

Scrap the flash movie idea then. :)

(H)

Still 50k...can you reduce the quality a little bit more? Shouldn£t reduce the optical quality much with all the green...it looks good otherwise (sorry for being a pain in the ass, but I want our banner on the site, and I think you do too)...

Blue

hey well i have a banner here , i can change the color and it 14.4k so its below what you need for file size wise....

It looks good...I'll give Liam more time as he's been trying on that one for a while now :)

Blue.

P.S Any chance to change the color to the like of green that is used on the MZ and SG site?

well here you are green !

Here we go! I know! I know! Its another new one! :o
I felt the last one was :$ ugly!

both look great. which one to use though?

Use both on different pages. I like them both. :D

uh, liam ...its 20k ...better save it at a different quality setting to lower the size

Photoshop told me it was 13kb when I saved it :rolleyes:

I'll save it again later

I'll send both banners to Johan...thanks guys, we'll see what happens, but if we want to keep the people at the site, we need newsposters and new ideas...right now we have a proposal for MoM hosting, but I still have to discuss it...

We'll see..

Blue

Great banners! I'll try to make one later (tomorrow).

See ya!

Ahh I see, sorry :$

I'll look forward to seeing it :D

Hehe! :)

Well, nobody will stop you from making one, and it might be helpful to put it into our portfolio when the logo makers site arrives...so that people know that they can expect top quality work :)

Blue

How is it look? If you whant to use it (the people in soccergaming crew) it is okey for me.

Simple, yet nice :)
I will put it as our portfolio as soon as we open the page

Blue

:D
I'm quite impressed for a paint shop pro job. I'm not a graphics wizard either. [/ego]

Cue flare. :D

Nice work Gareth, you make papa proud :P

Blue

To think, I spent 45 minutes going through www.worldstadiums.com I finally found a decent stadium - San Siro I think it was, now you can't see it. :D

lol , looks like liams one.......

I know min, I was kiddin too, It was too good a return to waste :D

besides.......i only ment that Gareth used the same idea as liam did aka using a stadium as a background for the banner

You can hardly see the fookin stadium now! :mad:

Good banners! I'll try to make a better one later.

how bout this it needs a minor changin though but if its ok i dont mind :D

saved as jpg, flattened layers :(, just thought to make the most popular players in two of the biggest citys in england :p

Aiden. He is winding you up. :)

He supports Leeds. :D

lol I was only joking. Its just I'm not a big fan of Man Yoo and the only good N'castle player is the legend that is Jonny Woodgate (I'm a mighty Leeds fan if you didn't guess:) )

Bowyer, Smith, Woodgate. Pfft. All racist scum, yet people say not guilty, not racist. Pfft. Guilty and they know it.

how about this: i was gunna add Pele but it went over the logo of MZ :D

Smith? Racist? He wasn't even on trial :rolleyes:

Anyway if you want to add some of my stuff to the portfollio (even if we didn't use it)

and this

5:40am job. :D

Already merged the layers sunshine.

Yes I'm aware I'm using the RCD Mallorca Badge :mrpimp:
