Well, I'm currently playing around with h4's banners on local; Looks like that. Trying to get a JS random rotation script going.

Well, I'm really liking the style of the one we have now. I wouldn't mind seeing others, but if they scream out photoshop and all that....I'd rather keep this one.

Define this statement, because I'm pretty sure when something is "photoshopped" it was made/edited in applied program, whereas I believe what digi used for it (he could have used other programs, but I'll call this for now).

Your designs are a perfect example. h4ataraxia's is kinda like that too...
You know, all that bloom and clutter. Something simple, minimalistic, or professional is what I like to see.

There's no general term for that- Many opinions take place there.

I believe Scotty means edited so much that it becomes ugly.
Anyway, I'm done with the rotating script.

In my opinion, he just offended the program there.

Anyway, I'm done with the rotating script.

Would it work the way like in the old forum, or will previously said scenario take place here?

Not implemented yet, but it basically picks a picture at random out of a list. Since there's only one 640x100 banner it's not exactly useful at the moment; I implemented it in case there's more than one, for instance h4's big banners.

So, small banners (current one's style) or big banners (example)?

This is just me, but I don't find the big ones likable. Will go with the former.

Well, they can be changed of course, I'm speaking about the style, i.e whether it's better to have a banner or a single picture filling the header box.

If by have a banner, you mean like the one we're doing now (using digi's work) then I say "we should go with that."

Full banner would look nice and allow for more room but whoever designs one would have to consider the transparency / text on the right.  If any text / complex images on the banner were placed on the right it'd look like a disaster.

Second opinion on what I think Scotty means is probably a banner where text isn't just slapped on top of an image.  Kinda like if you were to find an image and put it through blingee, nothing like that.  The banner that's up right now I made in Illustrator and there's probably a lot more thought that went into it then what you see.  For instance the arrangement of the idols are done so as to not favor any one of them, but simply highlight each.  Could have arranged them in ABC/PSP order/etc. but they're not.  Circles didn't pan out right, I was originally going to put up 15 circles, each colored to represent an idol (yellow for wandering star ones, brown for 961, etc.) with their name stamped on the circle.  Final product just ended up using the circles to link the images to each other rather than making it look like a solid brick of copypasta images.

So basically something that looks like we're not just stealing images off the web and posting them up there.  They're edited enough to look like an original piece or something.

You know how kick ass it'd be if each idol picture you click directed you to their thread?

It'd be badass.
