BOTM Banners

Is it just me or do others also think that the banners need to be cleaned up for the winning bikes...
I just think that the banner is the top of the site and the bike should be really nicely photoshopped into the banner with the logo.
It seems like recently they have been haphazardly thrown together...

Is it the responsability of the winner or an admin on the site to create the banner?
Im sure weve got guys with tight Photoshops skills we can leverage to clean it up a bit... Just a thought.

I agree, this months doesn't do the bike the justice it deserves... the paint and graphics on it are amazing and we don't get to see any of it...
 
I dont mean to be critical, just thinking as to how things can improve... thats all.
Consider it nothing more than my 2 cents.

yeah me neither... not trying to shit on someones cereal or anything, I just think for instance, this months bike is a really good piece to look at, but we don't get to see much...
 
That's an awesome bike up there. Real shame that's how it's represented. Hard for me to bitch though not sure I could do better. My 7 y/o niece though...
 
I agree as well. Last months banner was very pixilated, and this months left something to be desired as well. I know it is hard to make a good image when you start with a poor quality one in the first place. But like others above, i do agree more could be done.
 
I'd be happy to give it a shot. I'm kind of new here so let me know what I have to do and I'll finish it up by the end of the day. I also need some info like the required dimensions and the highest resolution photo of the bike we can find.
 
Yeah I can give it a whirl, but I think the BOTM should have a montly 'features PS artist' that does the work on the banner, that way its not a huge commitment and people with skill can flex what their ability and the banners look nicer. Thanks for chiming in on this guys.

I guess I can design a sample banner and post it on this thread and see if you guys like it.
 
I'm keen to see what people come up with. It's an idea that we've tried in the past with little luck.

It's also highly dependent on getting good high-res pics to work with. I'm happy to change the banner mid-month as well if we get more than one really solid banner. But I'm not going to be getting into a vote on which banner is best ;)

So if someone has something they like for the April BOTM banner, get it done. Put up or shut up as they say.
 
For your consideration...

you could let the BOTM winner select the banner if there are multiple banners submitted. I'd be happy to design them if I have the time. This month, I don't have the time. Last month, I had the time.
 
So I've updated the banner - looks good - needs some tweaks to be perfect though. Just raise/shrink the DTT logo so its not cut off at the bottom and if you can blend in at the right side (we've been making the banner a transparent PNG file to make the background show through on the right edge).
 
I only had a chance to get photos at night when the banner was being made, so I am partly at fault here. Problem was that I was seeing with repetitive angle vision that night... :-\

If y'all are still having banner anxiety maybe someone can give these a hack and see what comes out?!?
