Design the BlenderNation Header

  Published by Bart on November 18th, 2007 in BlenderNation

logo-mike.jpgIt's time to change our header again! I was a bit too busy for the last few weeks to take care of this - my apologies. This week's entry is created by Mike Pan. It immediately made my mouth water and that made the choice easy :) Congratulations, Mike! Your image will be on the site until next week.

To see the new header, you may need to press SHIFT+reload in your browser to force a cache refresh.

Keep the designs coming! Just paste them under this post. Also if your header image wasn't selected this week, I may still pick it next week.

I had a look over all the previous entries again, and quite a few were unusable. I'll repeat the requirements again, and add a few extra hints at the bottom:

  • only submit complete, 'ready to use' headers.
  • use the correct format (700×100 pixels). (size updated)
  • use the correct background color (#3388cc).
  • don't use the left-side of the image (as the BlenderNation text and menu will be there).
  • we like the (reflective) bar that Mathias introduced; you can use that as well, but it's not required.
  • please add your own name to the far right in a font like Arial or Helvetica.

Extra hints:

  • always make sure that your image has a gradient to the background color (#3388cc) at the left; the header has a 'fluid' design meaning that if the page is wider than 700 pixels, extra blue will be added to the left. If you don't use a gradient, this will show as a discontinuity in the background color.
  • again, use the correct background color.
  • don't put any text at the bottom of your image; our menu will be printed over it.

    @ Studio Stockwell: I saw the Blender Keyring on the Blender.org gallery… yeah.

    @ Anyone else: Anyone have a downloadable model of a super-robot so I don't have to waste my money on Turbsquid to get one?

    Oh, and @ Joshua: Nice one. Usually, the strawberries I get turn white and green in two weeks XP… Permanent 3D models = solution! Forget "Debbie Meyer's Green Bags"! Download [insert name here's (I never read the topic... just the comments ^.^)] strawberries!

    Okay. I've officially classified myself as insane.

    (Last comment until response from someone) OH… His name's Mike. Duh. Now I'm insane AND unattentive.

    @Gradir: very nice! I popped it in, thanks! (Do a shift+reload to see - otherwise it'll take a few days before it shows up)

    @zoltan: I would use a header like that, but I think the face on the right is not so good. Maybe you can replace it with a better one?
