We need a new header!

45 Comments   Published by Bart on August 2nd, 2008 in Art, BlenderNation

We could use a fresh header image here at BlenderNation! If you have a cool Blender design and you'd like to enjoy a few weeks of fame, read on.

To submit your work, post a link to it in a comment below. Here are some guidelines:

  • 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).
  • 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.

Have fun!

  4. 4 Bart Aug 2nd, 2008 at 8:44 am

    I know, I missed a few back then – sorry about that. Feel free to submit it again!

    ok :)

    I think BlenderNation can read minds…

    I was just thinking that you should change the header soon as the BBB has been there for a while

    I thought an apricot (Yo Frankie!) one might look good…

    might try making one myself :)

    Here is something of mine. Thought that this might look good. Its capture from my newest project.

    here is my entry:

    I work on a short animation that is inspired by the typewriter-theme of Elephants Dream. It uses several objects of ED but contains my own character as well. This picture shows the first scene of the animation.

    Lot's of talent. I especially like the dinosaur wooden models by Kubeczek77.

    It would be nice to see a banner containing something from the near completed Project London. Maybe the project will be even closer to completed on the next banner change.

  22. 22 lile Aug 2nd, 2008 at 10:11 pm

    I try too :

    This is a Render(and model) I did for my girlfriend's thesis project.

    http://www.alumnos.utfsm.cl/~pablo.barria/bnb.jpg

    The project is a structure based on Origami Tessellations by Ron Resch. It is currently participating on a national(Chilean) competition of Architectural thesis projects, you can see more of it(and my renders along with it :D) here:

    Well I like Tennis and Blender so I came up with this header.
    http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s197/GeYkO/blenderheader2.jpg

    P.S. WOW!!! Awesome headers, they are very original :-)

  35. 35 dusty Aug 3rd, 2008 at 9:15 pm

    You know what I think would be cool.

    Take the top 20 designs and randomly load one of them whenever you load a page.

  36. 36 dusty Aug 3rd, 2008 at 9:15 pm

    Oh and all the headers submitted so far are awesom! Well done guys!
