MarkB Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 OK guys, here's the deal. I'm working on a new design (and, depending on how things go, maybe an actual domain) for my website, and I need a good image for the top header. It has to be 500x60 and I'm not looking for the special effects look, just a nice, simple and clean blending job containing the images I need. The items that I'd like the image to contain are as follows; a black rotary telephone on the far left (For you youngsters, that's the "old-fashioned" phones with the large circle in the middle which was used to dial before the days of touch-tone telephones.) The following items anywhere in the middle at your discretion but split accordingly so that they are not connected (so that the baseball items aren't side by side for example) a baseball a Trenton Thunder logo a New York Yankees logo a frontal shot of an old PC (One of the old Atari PC's should be cool - see the first few results on Google for Atari PC) a frontal shot of a modern day PC (TFT screen etc.) the crescent moon and star symbol representing Islam (Something such as this for example) the Tupac Shakur photograph seen here (If you can find a larger version, use that if you wish) And, finally, on the far right, a modern light grey-, white- or cream-coloured touch-tone telephone. If you want to PM me to make sure any of the images are all right to use before using them, please do. The angles, level of blending and/or clouding and use of images...as well as pretty much everything else, really, is up to you, as long as the images are identifiable and, overall, it looks good. So, what can you produce? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medric822 Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 wow, you sure ask for some unusual items there, lol. This should be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixcuincle Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I'll give it a shot. I'd work on it now but I have a test to "study" for. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYM Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I'll give it a shot. Will you still be excepting tomorrow afternoon/night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkB Posted February 25, 2006 Author Share Posted February 25, 2006 I'll give it a shot. I'd work on it now but I have a test to "study" for. That's fine, no rush at all. It's going to take me, at the very least, a few days to get the coding done anyway, and chances are I won't have it done over the weekend anyway. NYM - Sure. The best image will be used, so it doesn't matter if it's done tomorrow night or in 2 weeks. I'd just like to get a decent image to use as a sort of placeholder until a really good one comes up. EDIT - Hold off on creating anything for now. I might be able to use a bigger image, somewhere in the range of 750px, or more, wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkB Posted February 25, 2006 Author Share Posted February 25, 2006 OK, change of plans. The image can be up to, and including, 766px wide and 62px in height, which I'd recommend as it means no fooling around with backgrounds to match the colour etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkB Posted March 4, 2006 Author Share Posted March 4, 2006 Only 1 submission? NYM, ixcuincle, how are you guys getting on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkB Posted March 20, 2006 Author Share Posted March 20, 2006 Another change - new site design, new image size. The image now has to be 788x80. Is anyone working on anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagger147 Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 This is what I did: I can change whatever you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filthy57 Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 I'll give it a whirl as well, Mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkB Posted March 20, 2006 Author Share Posted March 20, 2006 Thanks Dagger, I like the idea. Some of the cropping is a little off, but the theme is good. I'm still working on the design on the page but in the current incarnation, it goes well. Looking forward to seeing what you can produce, Filthy. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filthy57 Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Alright, here you go: If you wanted anything changed or altered at all, let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkB Posted March 20, 2006 Author Share Posted March 20, 2006 Now, that's nice. I like the brick and embossing effects and although it doesn't have all the items, I can see why. A few things - could you made the brick effect encompass the whole image thus removing the black on the right and bottom (black is the colour of the background), and make the brick effect encompass the telephone on the right as well? The image border between the crescent and telephone is quite obvious as well. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filthy57 Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Oh, sorry about that Mark. I missed the phone on the left, but I'm gonna leave the Tupac picture on the far left, because it cuts off the other side of his face. If I resize the Yankee logo, I can move some stuff around and fit it in there. I can't edit anything now, however, because I'm at school and I don't have the .psd with me. I'll have to do it when I get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkB Posted March 23, 2006 Author Share Posted March 23, 2006 Sorry for the late responses, been having some access trouble. x63, I like that, too. Filthy, did you manage to do that edit? Thanks guys. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filthy57 Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Sorry Mark, but I had some stuff I had to take care of, and I'm going away for most of the weekend. Hopefully, I can get that done for you ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkB Posted March 24, 2006 Author Share Posted March 24, 2006 No rush, man. Take your time, and enjoy the weekend. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filthy57 Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Sorry it's taken so long, Mark, I've been a little busy, but don't worry, I haven't forgotten about you. I tried to change some stuff around, but I may have missed something. Let me know if there's anything else you want me to change... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkB Posted April 1, 2006 Author Share Posted April 1, 2006 No problem, Filthy, that looks great. The only thing is the borders on the left and bottom are black, and when used on the black background, it looks as if the image is cut off. If you could make the whole image embossed so that the left and bottom are lighter colours (like the grey at the top), it would work great. Thanks, man.

Filthy57 Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Yeah. The thing is, that's the shadow because the light's coming from the top-right corner, but if I change the color of the shadow and stuff, I can fix that. I'll play around with it a bit, and I'll get back to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
