Forum Backgrounds Wanted!

You're welcome to submit ideas for the forum backgrounds. Please keep in mind the following.

It should be a gif or jpg, not larger that 10K (in a pattern formation).

You can save one of our pages on your own computer and change the background link to one on your hard drive (you need a text or html editor).

This way you can test it before submitting it.

We won't take any backgrounds that don't line up properly.

It would be nice if the image has a theme related to the forum subject.

It shouldn't be too distracting, or conflicting with the existing color scheme.

Remember they need to look good on our pages, not just on your computer.

So post your samples in this thread with the forum you suggest it appear.

We're only looking to replace the standard background (purple swirls).



Thanks for your assistance!

 

Just static background patterns.

 

Skip, are you savvy enough to tile a photo? I was thinking of some of our dyes.
but I am technically declined, so to speak.
PM me if you want samples. I took all the pix.

 

Drumminmama, yeah tie dye would be good. If it's a simple tie dye it might be possible to lower the resolution enough to put a big image of it up, so it wouldn't need to be tiled.

Yes I can tile stuff, but it needs to be abstract enough to enable tiling.

To do tiling you simply flip the image horizontally, save it, then put the two side by side, then flip both vertically, save it and then match up the edges into an image 4xs larger (no whut I mean?)

 

Thanks Nathan! You got a few nice ones in there I think we can use. I've put one up on this forum.

Unfortunately most don't meet the 10K size restriction & are pretty garish (clashes with forum).

 

skip, see www.kimock.com and look at the intricate dyes behind Steve in the pix
or www.tedyepaul.com
I can provide pix for anyone who wishes to do the tech work.

 

Nathan, could you do that if I e-mailed a pic? NO color correction or anything needed, just some fade, perhaps.

 

Ya mean like this?
