Title: The Welcome Banner
Post by: neokm on March 24, 2003, 08:13:00 PM

I remember bringing this up a year-or-so-ago - - - but it deserves another look-see after that beautiful seascape banner as of today.

With our "WORLD-WIDE" membership - - -  It would be a great opportunity for us all to see and share fantastic 'seascapes, landscapes, cityscapes, agriscapes' etc., etc, from willing members from many lands - in banner format - with approopriate credits. A universal understanding of where we all originate and function - - -say, a week at a time. I REALLY WANT TO KNOW YOU GUYS AND GALS IN TERMS OF VISUALS.

good idea  

Just a reminder...  Who do we send the banners to?  I forget!  I can make some from my Europe pics.  Awesome mountains, oceans, beaches!

So the photo in this banner (3/25/03) is....
somewhere in the British Isles?

I'd guess the US west coast, if I was to hazard a guess

It reminds me of the West coast of the US somewhere between Portland and San Diego...

How do you make a banner? I have a little 'old' iMac.

Fiona,

Even your little ole iMac can be used, if you have the sofware needed.

Assuming you have the software, the banner is 573x125 pixels. When you have finished making it, save it as a jpg and sent it you Jennie.

If you create a banner with mostly drawings or solid colors, you can use gif file format too.

Duh, what software would that be?

If your iMac came with AppleWorks you can use that. There's also Photoshop, PhotoDeluxe, ColorIt!, ClarisWorks, Corel Paint, MacGimp and many others. If you dont have any of these and you want to download something free, try FuturePaint http://www.stazsoftware.com/futurepaint/
