[Kaitscralt]

you are so OCD

I know, I really am

[Captain Murphy]

More like ODB

I'll take my money now.

[Manders]

I really like the one with Ash. It's artistic.

[Kaitscralt]

I've been using one of these on Salvation. I don't have Photoshop so I have to make crappy banners. I like the font though. Feel free to use it if you want, or build off it for making it prettier.

[Alex]

I'm not Photoshop savvy at all, but it seems to me that we should really be incorporating THE "dies to removal" card, Dismember.

[Kaitscralt]

I have always loved that art. I'm sure I'd be quite photoshop savvy if I had the program.

[Second Harkius]

I'm sure you'd be too.

I got it in my "kit" from one of the editing companies I contract for. They send you an entire Microsoft suite, Adobe Creative Suite, and Sony Vegas. I've never used any of 'em, I don't even edit in Word, I work in Notepad.

Why do they send me all of this shit? I don't know, I'm just an editor. But it's like $1000 in software so whatever.

You just initiated a brag. The brag police are on their way!

[Alex]

I was more or less instigating a "download an installer for the program and you can have my activation key."

[Second Harkius]

I would take you up on that offer but A) Madding would use it more and B) you weren't offering it to me anyway

[Second Harkius]

I like your style though, welcome aboard

[Kaitscralt]

I'm sure you'd be too.

[Alex]

Something like this? This is just "five minutes dicking around in CS6." I'm sure it could improve.

[Alex]

I did another. Trying to stick with the theme of things actually dying to removal.

[Kaitscralt]

Could you try centering the text in the Dismember one, for those OCD among us?

[Kaitscralt]

I like options!

[Kaitscralt]

Looks awesome though.

[Checkbox]

I like the dies to removal theme

[Kaitscralt]

I've never been a big fan of Searing Spear art, he looks like he is playing a flaming guitar to me.

[Kaitscralt]

Alex if you don't include the .com though then its just a banner with a popular Magic phrase.

[Checkbox]

Can we have one of those rotating banners on the forum page? Like everytime you refresh the page it gives you a different banner? We should just have a bunch of the ones of things actually dying to removal

[admin]

It could be feasible, but we might need a script for that. I'll chek on the phpbb3 forums, I'm sure someone did it before

correct

[Alex]

The .com looked pretty crappy in the font. If someone has a better font I should try, I'm all ears. I'd never really used Photoshop before, these were just "I've been derping for 20~ mins and this is what I came up with."

I didn't center them on purpose, I figured they would be nested at the top left, so that's why the text is positioned at bottom left. Ideally I wanted to do some that faded to transparency, but I have to screw around more with CS6 to figure out how to do that.

What is this CS6 ?

[Alex]

This.

I like it.

[admin]

At the risk of being "that guy", what is the status on the fair use for these WOTC copyrighted images? maybe we could check their publicity kit or something? Ask WOTC what is their stance, etc...

Fan Site Kit

Do you have a website that could use some awesome features from the Magic world? We want you, our beloved fans, to be able to support our products, enjoy the art of our game, and utilize those assets for your fan sites! Here you can download a Fan Site Kit that includes tons of Planeswalker images, logos, and awesome art from current sets. Everything you need as a loyal fan!

Located here.

The ToS for image usage is there too. I read it, it more or less says "Email us and let us know and there should be no problem."

So yeah, there's that.

Nevermind, I read a different ToS on their main site and it says totally different stuff. So maybe not. Damn.

[Kaitscralt]

I really like that font with the Dismember, but again, I personally wouldn't rock one without the .com, literally nobody knows about the site yet and would think you're just making a quip about the overused "dies to removal" argument.

[Link]

I didn't know Ash could actually not look like a happy autistic kid

[Checkbox]

Alex if you don't include the .com though then its just a banner with a popular Magic phrase.

if its at the top of our website it doesn't matter

[Kaitscralt]

That's true. And these can all be added to a potential list for the top of the site (although I believe it is a copyright issue and won't be allowed if it has Magic art).

However Checkbox if you use that big beautiful brain of yours you'd know I am talking about Alex making banners for people to use as advertising sigs on other websites when I say the .com should be there.

Maybe do versions of both so we can use them however we want.

[Alex]

I didn't think to bother since I'm permabanned from MTGS.

[Kaitscralt]

There are other places, but making a banner for the website itself is still very gracious of you, or as my iPhone tried to say, it's very radioisotopes of you.

[Sir Sapphire the 3rd]

why permabanned?

[Col. Khaddafi]

because they're corrupt and bitter about people not putting up with their continuous harassment anymore.
