Melodic Catastrophe,
I'm not sure about the whole ratio thing, I made mine 1656w X 216h in points.

Also incase anyone isn't too familiar with web graphics you should set up your document at 72dpi and make a .png file when you go to post it up here, that will give you the best looking web graphic.

I love all the things everyone is coming up with! Theres a few that are tied up for my favorite right now, excited to see what else comes up :)

I found this aspect ratio calculator

On my screen the main images show up as 963px wide and according to the calculator above, to get a 7.7:1 ratio the height would need to be 125px.

Does that sound about right Trav?

I'm kinda lame and I'm not quite sure how to achieve the 7,6666:1 aspect.

Are there some general dimensions in pixels that we could use as a guide?

A basic ratio would be 7.6 pixels by 1 pixel. Multiply as needed (766x100, 1533x200, etc).

Ahh, that makes a lot more sense. Thank you for spelling that out for me. :)
 
I have fix my ratio should be a little better now. :)

They all rock and I think we should keep the rotating banner. :)

...if I had to chose one though. It would be the meditating tree man. Something about that imagine just struck me.

Peace.
 
Here is my PGN format as suggested. How come saving in PGN made the writing on the purple one look worse? The one below it though is fine.. Weird.

Traveller, if the purple version in PGN looks worse than the jpeg version I uploaded just stick to the jpeg.

Thanks!

Space, check the dpi on it and make sure it is 72 .
If that doesn't fix it you may have to re do the typing make sure you don't stretch the font either use the points.
 
updated the size ratio on mine. i liked the other one better but oh well. not to question your authority traveler but what is the importance of the 7.66666:1 ratio? wish i wouldn't have messed up in the first place and made it correctly.

also for anyone trying to fix the size ratio on theirs you can go to the rectangular marquee and for it's toolbar select fixed ratio and change it to 7.66666 for width and 1 for height.

hyperspacefool, it's supposed to be learn, share, expand, not learn, share, explore ;). might i also suggest that you just use one fractal image and cut part it off and center it without stretching it.

Will check it that out. Thanks!
 
Beautiful work Ash!


I updated the original to the 7.666:1 ratio and made another one that uses the 7.666:1 ratio by default...

Enjoy :D

Wow Ash those are really cool. The green one is sooo vibrant, it's like its bloom fills the whole screen with warm green energy :D

Melodic Catastrophe, the lower one is very nice. One of my favorites so far. It's a nice choice to change the font of the lower text indeed. :>

Thank you very much Smerrel! :D

Yours is definitely one of my favorites. I don't know I missed that you uploaded the psd to share. I loved how you did the text and effects for the logo. Awesome job!!
