New Journal Banner

[strangetomato]

Allow me to direct your attention to my new banner. *grins* I changed my page theme and figured out how to use some basic CSS to add my own banner.  I'll have to read up on it to figure out how to refine everything to make it just so (if you know how to center things in CSS, I'm all ears), but it will do for now. I've been thinking about adding a banner like this for a while now, and it feels good to actually do it.

They're quite the ensemble cast, and that's not even half of the characters.

How the hell did you do that?! That's amazing! Good job!

(If you want I can peak at the CSS, thou I can't promise anything. :P)

Great job! It looks really good.

I like the Johnny, Ripp and Ophelia pic. I like that Johnny looks like he's trying to block Ophelia from Ripp in a way. Weither you did that intentionally or not, that's what I'm getting out of it. :)

Look amazing! I love how everyone's grouped. It reflects stories and personalities and also leaves me wondering about a couple things. Hmm. I have no idea how you managed to make it look like a panoramic shot, but awesome job!!

Oh my God it's beautiful! I'd love to do that with my own "ensemble cast" some time.

Amazing!

Love the panoramic shot, and how everyone's distance from the viewer reflects their importance in the story. I also like how they're grouped by storyline: Stella/Jayne, Ripp/Johnny/Phi, Buck/Jill/the Smiths, Frances/Tank, Circe/Vali, Nervous/the Curious Bros. It's so clever. I also like how everyone's got their own "unique" pose.

That's incredible!:O! Wow!

That's lovely. I really really like the way it's put together and how it relates to each of the pieces of your overall story. I'm also exceptionally jealous I haven't thought of something similar first! :)

What a cool banner!

Besides the work of figuring out the CSS code to accomodate your banner to your layout (I've never been able to make a decent layout, not even if my life depended on it, so I just stick with pre-made ones ^^), the pic is amazing.

I must have taken you a while to pose them, right? I like how their body pose, face expresion and even the position in the pic say a lot about their story. Like the trio at the front (with Nervous) and Circe in the waaay back. I also noticed that Jayne is showing her back to Johnny too!

And those Curious brothers don't look happy at all. What is Vidcund ashamed of? O_o

I really liked it! :)

Wow, it looks really great!

I don't know how to center things in CSS, but if you know the width of your content area, maybe you could make the image that exact width. For instance, you could add 10 or 20 pixels of white to both the right and left. Does that make sense?

I love it! I don't even know whose missing, but I really love it. I LOVE Circe, Nervous/Pascal, Frances/Tank and Jill/Buck in the banner though. *grin*

That looks great. I love it! :D

I love it! The poses and positions of all the characters seem very fitting :) But Jill, you really should focus on the youngest Grunt...wandering eyes, *tsk, tsk*

*grin*

Nice banner!!! :D I like it. :D

Oh.. wow.... I praise your awesome-ness. I wish I knew how to do that! I love Stella and Jayne talking over in the corner! Everyone looks a bit bored to me, except for Ripp and Ophelia, or maybe not bored but confused. Like "How they heck did I get here?"
