[REQUEST] - +Rep for the Maker of an Animated Banner for Xtremetop100.com!

[Shinyshoes]

First off - Thanks in advance for anyone who takes the time to do this. I will +rep ya you can be sure. Alright, I need an animated banner and here are my specs:


480x60 - Standard Banner
Render: (Modify/zoom in/ if needed, just have either his face or shoulders up showing )



Text: (From most important to least important)

:: Team Atom Funserver - (Note: make this flashy it's the name of the server ;D)
:: Dual Xeon / 100mb Connection
:: Instant 70
:: No lag 500+ Supported
:: Donate for GM
:: 3 Custom Events + Custom Stormwind Vaults Instance
:: Free Shopping Mall + Skill trainers (Self -rez!)
:: Event reward vendor + Donor Tier 7 + Donor Weapons
:: World Teleporter - (All Instances Spawned, Including ZA)
:: Big community, Constant uptime - GREAT GM's!

If you could include all that, that would be fantastic. If not include the instant 70 and donate for gm - all the really important stuff.

Animation:

Nothing too flashy or laggy, I especially would like the text to be animated and maybe the backround, see

World of Warcraft top 100 - Private servers, Guides, Guilds, free servers

For any examples - Thanks so much

What are you looking for exactly?
an animated .gif? a flash banner?

I am experienced in animating gif's but not so much in flash, although it is never too late to learn.

If you don't know the difference, besicaly, a gif is a picture that you can put in your sig or whatever that is animated... the picture is usually low quality since forums have a size limit and animations take allot of size. The way to reduce size is by reducing quality. To do the thing you are looking for in a more practical way is to do it in flash, but you usually cannot put flash in forums, just in websites but they have allot more creative possibilities and are usually better quality. Not to mention less laggy.

just reply to this post and I will try to do something for you.:wave:

[Shinyshoes]

I think flash - because I need this to post on World of Warcraft top 100 - Private servers, Guides, Guilds, free servers

This isn't JUST for a forum so almost definitely flash. Thanks man.

Edit: I checked some of the others on Xtremetop100.com and they WERE Gif images - So... I can't really tell... GIve me a few minutes

[Shinyshoes]

I'm uploading an example image for you. Then you can tell for yourself what type of image it is - hopefully. :wave:

[Shinyshoes]

Here is an example see if you can tell what type it is from this.

[Spartansp]

[Shinyshoes]

for xtremetop100 you NEED .gif images it doenst allow .swf files

Alright then that should answer your questions. So GIF image thanks man - SO much +Rep definitely if you make me one.

[Spartansp]

lol....i am to lazy to do that lol but if he offered to you lets see what he do

[Shinyshoes]

Yeah hopefully since Marick is an experienced with Gif's that it'll be something sweet, I'm hoping to hear back from him soon, I do hope he didn't take my whole "Flash" first response to heart, and is working on one in flash! that'd be bad. (again: GIF image )

[Spartansp]

if he make a .swf but he saved the .fla then he can easily make the .gif from the .fla so dont worry

[Shinyshoes]

Oh good

[Spartansp]

:P hey mate as you are already here... can you see my other post about the uber vengeance wallpapers please and rate them.... also you can see my links in my sig for usefull things

[marick626]

Lol, we have alitle conversation going on. Don't worry, the banner you put is a gif image. I wasn't going to start until you responded, that would have been dumb lol. I should have it quick. Maybe I will have it tomorrow, or maybe even tonight, its about 11:30PM here but I usually go to sleep at around 2AM.

[Shinyshoes]

Awesome man, take your time there is no real rush Thanks again.

[marick626]

what do you think? I always used Imageready to create my Gifs, this was the first time I used Photoshop CS3 to create my gif and was surprised to notice that when you are creating the animation it appears slower than when you actually save it so I had to fix some stuff. Tell me what you think or what I should change.

(Give it time to load)

PS, the banner yo put up was made with Flash and the converted to a Gif. Its simpler that way although I don't have the knowledge to do it so the animations are limited because creating raw gifs is a rather gruesom process since you have to do it frame by frame. If you wanted something flashy like the banner you put up then I would need some more time maybe even a week to actually learn how to properly use flash.
