Just some examples of different text

[Rissa]

Ok, I was going to work on the colors and such when I got home but I guess its done so ......

i guess you guys let me know what I'm suppose to be doing. I'm sorry I haven't gotten on it yet but unfortunately.... I'm working double time this week and I don't have much free time and I can't get on for long at work.

[chyna]

I'm sorry Rissa-- I didn't mean to step on your toes with putting the colors in. >_<
When you said go for it, I guess I took it the wrong way. But...do you like them?

I know you've been working alot this week, so it not really a big deal. I guess I just got inspired today and went for it.

[Rissa]

Nah... its fine. I've got a busy week anyways...... no worries.

[chyna]

before I go I just thought I'd mention I plugged in the test forum marker I made and it looks like ca-ca so...I'm throwing that one out the window XD

[Rissa]

I LOVES THE BANNER, MIZ! One suggestion though... I would make the title text stand out a bit more... right now, its blending with the background and that is something that should "pop" in my book. What about one of the blue colors in the crow? or something like that. I LOVE THE WHOLE MOON AND CROW AND SUCH THOUGH!! IT LOOKS AWESOME!

[Mercedes]

I have to agree with Rissa. The banner is so awesome! I adore it! The coloring of the letters does kind of blend with the dark background though. I'd suggest maybe a little lighter or like Rissa said..maybe the blue in the crow?

[chyna]

Thanks ewwe mah Darlin's <3

Yeah, I haven't finished with the Banner text just yet...I was really just testing out the font XD
I like your suggestion with using the pop of the crow blue Rissa, I might try that!

I -did- find a tutorial for this really neato text effect thats supposed to make it look all glow-y and magical, but we'll see how that works out.

Just to add, I'm not completely done with the banner either. XD
I'ts going to have more texture and detail to it, but I wanted to see what you guys thought on the 'feel' of it

[Rissa]

I loves the feel of it!! If you come up with a blue or something you like..we can use it as an accent too!!

[Rissa]

OH! and ... I was wondering what you guys think about putting the links beside the banner ... I'm going to try to look at codes later today and see how we can do different stuff on this layout.

[chyna]

I think that would look awesome Rissa XD

[jennz]

Are you talking about "beside the banner" like how it is on OOTA? For the menu items? Or putting like navigation links beside the banner like that?

Just wanting to clarify what you are looking for.

like for OOTA those links in the banner are actually part of the banner.

Like this:



and then the top part of finishing the banner is part of the banner around the forum to make the top rounded:




And then the code is this thing where you have to find the "coordinates" of where each of the links words are in the banner. It's a similar type code to the hover code.

I'm just trying to get an idea of what you want. I can do that kind of code.

[Rissa]

z3.invisionfree.com/blood_and_lace/index.php I was meaning more like this... Not sure if its the same thing or not but I was meaning like the links to places on the board

[Rissa]

I'd also like to move the menu bar above the banner. Unfortunately, I'm afraid to touch anything at the moment cause I don't want to screw codes up.

[Rissa]

Oh, and here is a site for styles... Its what I've used in the past for my text.

22pixels.com/browse/styles/ You just download them and then put them in your styles category like you do brushes

[jennz]

Ooooh.... cool, I don't think I've ever used styles before. That's nifty.
