OK. As I think I've said more than once, :wacko: I'm new to this messageboard thing. I think we need a good banner for the board. I'll solicit suggestions here, if there are any creative ones out there.

OK, that was a wee bit too big :blush:
And not really a banner :unsure:

How do we submit them?

Copy the link of the selected image, then click "IMG"(somewhere above the message box), and paste the link.

Design a banner and save it as an image file somewhere on the web. Then just post it as an image. I think you already know how to do that, judging by your "New Generation" thread. :D

I don't know that much about working with graphics to design a banner, hence why I opened it up to a competition. ;)

How do I save it to an inetrnet file?

I posted those pics a different way (from Google)

There are a number of sites that will let you upload and store picture files, generally for free.

You're right, Hiro. I edited the picture out, just because it was way too big. I don't think I'll make a picture of Mr. Henman my banner, anyway. B)

:angry: :angry: :angry:

Heres mine:

How about the one where Tim is with some girlies?

Nick, I posted the link where my banner is.

No Henman, no banner.

Just like no Martini, no party.

Sounds like a good banner to me!

What you all think of my banner?

g2g

Bye all!1

Looks pretty good, but I can't seem to grab it from there. I'll try again later. Might work better on a site like imageshack.

roflmao

that's such a funny pic! Makes Tim look like a Playboy! roflmao

I wish I could help but whilst being a creative bod, that's with paper and raw materials rather than computer stuff.

Sure is, although it is a cheesy pic. But he is the darling of centre court is he not? And this is called ....? roflmao

How about a banner with a picture of Centre Court itself, with a picture of a famous final - you can always change it now an d again to a different match - if that is possible.

can we have Goran and Rafter's final? Pebs won't be complaining! :D

Good idea SB, and why limit it to Wimbledon centre court. :)

True Al, we could have any court form a slam, although I do prefer the colour of the grass :D Just wish I knew how to do these things on the computer, then i coudl help out.

There you go got it working

How do you create a banner btw?

What you think?

Yay!!! you used my banner

Yep. I think it looks pretty good. Others are still welcome to submit entries, though. We might find something even better or maybe even change them with the seasons . . .

Ilike the banner, kind fo what I visualised so well done. Justwondered if there was any other pictureof centre court wiht any action going on? Or if you coudl make the middle bit smaller as it dominates a bit? Just suggestions, fel fre to tell me to sod off! Love th eball bit looks really bold. :D :D

It was hard finding a suitable green that wasnt too dark or too light. Yes there was a pic of players palying.
And no, i dont mind constructive criticism

Howdy Nick,

I've done a banner for you, hope you like it!

Why isn't Tim in the banner? <_<

He is!!

He's on Centre Court if u like closely!! (In the crowd third row from the back on the left, rememebering the time he used to be able to play on it!!)

Only joking. Lol. Completly forgot about Timothy.

woah, trisco....do you work in IT??? That is a top notch banner

Hello Trisco,

Very nice banner! There are certainly a few posters here who know their way round a pc (WB also!). As for my pc skills, I thought that an Avatar was some sort of deity that appears in a bodily form on earth.. what on earth was I thinking??

There might be a few people who will ask why their favourite player isn't there (already seen hiro mentioning Tim, as might Pebs too). Would be a bit of a challenge to get them all in there :)

Interesting choice of pic for A-Rod :D Presumably you've seen a similar pic of Marat (otherwise known as that 2 metre embodiment of female desire (Quote Tursunov in his recent blog)). Presumably he should extend that to Male too? :whistle:

Thanks Mkk. :)

Sorta work in I.T. Doing techy stuff for all the Broken ATM's for Lloyds Bank.
Love doing stuff like the banner tho for a bit of fun.

I used to think that about avatars too! Kula Shaker did a very good song, Golden Avatar and it ain't about Internet piccies!

I could poss fit a few more players on there later if people want? May be small tho.

OMG that banner is awesome.

The way you have put it together is fantastic. That the sharapova picture with that pose and all spoils it though - looks tack - keep it action! Know it is tricky, as hard to suit all, but there is not one single fave player of mine there (well Fed I suppose ) and not enough centre court legends. Perhaps we coudl change it now and again for variety, as if you don't like a player much you will get sick of looking at their gob day in day out. :D Anyway, I notice that with the women, there are two pin up girly types featured - fien but where are the pin up men? Where's GORAN FGS? :D
