Title: New Carly Art Project
Description: Twitter banner
NXH - April 29, 2009 08:21 PM (GMT)
I had a thought - how about somebody creating an official banner for Carly's presence on twitter complete with links and so on. Or possibly a modified myspace banner that also includes the twitter address.
I know we have some creative artists here who could put something together.
I'm guessing we'd want to ok it with The Powers That Be at Carly's official page & Carly herself to see if such a project is ok with them & if it is, to get their approval of the design.
If we could do it, we could put it up all over myspace and soon have legions of Carly "followers".
What do you think?

I would love to lend my artistic hand!
jennie - April 30, 2009 02:34 AM (GMT)
I like the idea, I don't consider myself that great, but everyone else seems to like my work, so I'd create a couple things.
NXH - April 30, 2009 05:00 AM (GMT)
Awesome guys - you are both super-talented, so I say go for it!
I was thinking we could have a few different samples with the same dimensions as the myspace banners - maybe some that advertise both the myspace and twitter & one with just twitter. I don't have any examples but it might be worth seeing what other artists have done...
For example check out Brooke White - she has a nice one on her myspace page.
Then maybe a vote & we could submit our favorites to Carly & her camp & see what they think...just thinking out load here...
Anyway first things first - can't wait to see what you guys have in mind...
jennie - April 30, 2009 06:53 PM (GMT)
ok here are a couple with both.


and here is one with twitter.

I'll make more later.

[QUOTE]I know,and no hurry-this is more important.Sides I'll just take one of these when your not looking :lmao:

Awesome Jennie - they look great.
NXH - May 5, 2009 06:34 PM (GMT)
Ok I don't see any other submissions, so what does everyone think of the possible twitter/myspace banners? I like the first and also the third (twitter only) banners.
If I had to pick I would pick the third.
What does everyone else think.
I would like ultimately to present this to the Carly camp as something to be posted to advertise Carly's presence on twitter. Then it could be posted everywhere on myspace, etc.
Time to vote!

no need to apologize!!! jennie has done a great job....i had honestly forgotten about this
Ash07 - May 7, 2009 05:15 PM (GMT)
heres a design for a twitter banner
Ash07 - May 7, 2009 05:15 PM (GMT)
i know its big....im gonna resize it
NXH - May 7, 2009 06:00 PM (GMT)
Thanks Ashley - looks great.
I just wanted to add a couple of things we should keep in mind for this.
We should make sure the designs are linkable - that is can act as links to twitter or myspace.
With that in mind, I am leaning toward the idea of a banner for twitter only.
Also please keep the graphics in proper proportion to avoid any distortion.
That's it!
Let's try and have all submissions by the 15th of May - does that seem like enough time? If not, let me know.
Thanks.

i dont think i distorted the image, but ill check and make sure...yes it definitely needs to be a clickable link....im not great with that stuff :P i just wanted to submit a design :wink:
NXH - May 7, 2009 08:08 PM (GMT)
I think your submission looked great - as for distortion I didn't think you had any, just wanted to put it out there as a general reminder. (Not that I know much about design or art or .... anything really.. :rolleyes: )
Thanks again - I hope you & jennie (and maybe others?) keep submitting cause they look great so far.
Thanks again...

randomkoosh423 - May 7, 2009 10:24 PM (GMT)

randomkoosh423 - May 7, 2009 10:26 PM (GMT)
ash and jennie ur gonna hafta help me with the whole linking thing tho lol, those were just my designs
randomkoosh423 - May 7, 2009 11:26 PM (GMT)

^^thats resized
randomkoosh423 - May 8, 2009 12:01 AM (GMT)
sorry i keep posting a lot lmao. but i have a question: if the graphics are gonna be a link itself, do we hafta put the URL on the design?
randomkoosh423 - May 8, 2009 12:11 AM (GMT)
NXH - May 8, 2009 04:36 AM (GMT)
Thanks koosh - good work!
And I think we want to keep the URL even if the banner is linkable - if the link doesn't work then they know where to go. I think it can be in smaller less-obvious type, though - the key words are Carly and Smithson B)
jennie - May 8, 2009 02:04 PM (GMT)
I will post some more as well.
Here is how you will link it.

pretty sure you paste it into the "About Me" section. just be sure not to paste it over anything else, just ammend it.
and I think you can paste it into a message too.

No Jay,it has to go into the banner I believe so that the banner works as a link.
jennie - May 11, 2009 06:26 PM (GMT)
you can post it anywhere on myspace. unless you have a div layout like nancy. then you have to put it in your about me.

no nancy. you can't make a banner itself a clickable link, you have to do it with html code. the code jennie posted does that. the banner itself is nothing but an image.
