Hey guys, i decided to make a banner for my site. Its not much, and there isnt much to it, but i was wondering if anyone could give me advice one it. The website is called "Halo Secrets", and i wanted it to be somewhat dark, because the skin is gonna be darkish as well. I also need advice on the text. In fact, my request is that you guys take what i have given you here, and edit it to your liking, and post it back here. The help would be greatly appreciated. I want the text "Halo Secrets" in it somewhere ( I was thinking dissappearing behind the ring's front side). So, if you guys would like to help out, please use what i have given you and show me what you have got. Also, if you wanna design your own, i just want it dark, mysterious[ish], and it to have something to do with Halo. 1000x160 is that banner above. Thanks! -Knight
If you could move the ground on the Earth up a bit more, I might be able to do something. Otherwise I would have to do the whole thing myself. And I'm lazy.
I would add a little something to the world side. It looks like a plain picture, while on the right it has so many effects. Maybe a lens flare? Although lens flares look uber noobish sometimes, if you don't use them right.
the right side looks horrible if thats a brush you've put on top take it right off if not, you're better off using another stock for that side
what do you mean by that? and plugin, do you have any to suggest? im having trouble finding good things for this.. maybe you could try making one yourself if you wanted
my other problem is how theres a light source on the right side. I would like it if someone wanted to just make their own
im flicking through some halo 3 stocks right now i might come back with something for you kk its impossible to find anything good i want the one where chiefs helmet's fallen off and its on like some dry dirt but i cant get a good enough res on a pic of it
ah yeah i had the same problem. keep in mind the name of the site is "halo secrets", so i want to have it somewhat mysterious. if your looking for the trailer one, try searching "Halo 3 trailer wallpaper". im gonna do that myself
omagad i has it!!! put that as the right side sharpen, add some gradient mapping and shiz and ur done
Put the text diagonally across the black underside of the Halo ring? and if you put that covenant ship there I reckon it would look better without. EDIT: Not sure how well any of these would fit with the colour scheme but:
instead of the chief coming out of the smoke so basically use the halo ring as a screenwipe/divider thing
oooh i really like that idea plugin. thanks. il see what i can do EDIT: thanks mastar but im lookin for halo.. if they saw that they might think it was a site about multiple games. Also, can someone recommend me a good font to use? i am horrible with fonts.. and text
maybe you can do them sometime if i "give you the .psd".. i want help on placement too.. i suck at it.. you would know =/
alright, i installed it and i used a fancier font.. i probably shouldnt have. but thats ok cause its only the beta as of now. unfortunately the banner had to be cut from 1000 px to 770 px in width
