Gerard Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Rofl - lucky you. If you look at Chris's screenshot, you can see how its original and different. It's one big screenshot all the way across, and with a couple of things in front of it. If it had something from all the games in front of it (protagonist, recognisable car or building), then it would be good. See if you can do better.

Red_91 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 To be honest, why do yo uhave to change the banner? Unless you want to, I think adding a Niko to it will make it better and more up to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM™ Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Okay, so I've done 2: 1st: 2nd: I like both, but the second one I didn't spend too long on, all I did was add the grungy effect and the greyish brown colour. I'll try (When I have the time) to make a full page up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas. Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Took a while to make (30 minutes) and upload (10 mins). Anyway I tried my best to look like it was one image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerard Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Apart from the different colours of sky looking weird, and the minigun going into a tree, thats actually pretty good. At least there's only one sun now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least there's only one sun now That was the best GTA IV Picture I could find. I should really change that picture of CJ to something a bit more decent, what else should I change to make it better?

Mike356 Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 yeah thats what I was trying to say in my last post but like gerard I think you should change the CJ to something elese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas. Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Updated Banner. Anything else needed or changed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike356 Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 (edited) I actully like that one since it transits nicely from the city to the cliffs and then back to the city makeing it look real good Edited February 20, 2008 by shadow539 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerard Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Left half is spot on. I like how Tommy is in the VC bit, and CJ is in the SA bit. You need to add Niko (slightly bigger than the others) between the SA and IV bits (to cover up where that building fades away into sky). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA Don Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Thomas, that looks awesome, but like Gerard said, you should add Niko in there as well, and maybe choose a different background pic for the IV part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas. Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 There we go, I think its complete so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA Don Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 That is awesome, but I don't really think you need 2 Niko's. Just take one away and it will look even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas. Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 1 Niko has been removed . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerard Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Could you remove the image behind Niko, with the helicopters and the tree? So that the sky doesn't change colour so much. Also, would be good if you could darken the desert screenshot, to make it match the sky above chiliad, and make the rock colour not so bright (comapred to chiliad). That would kinda make the sky more even across the image as a whole, rather than it going purple-blue-lightblue-blue-darkblue I'm actually impressed by how much it looks like one image, once the light/dark bits are neutralised, and the half-a-tree is removed, it'll be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas. Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 (edited) New Version. Better colour of the mountain sky and images removed, no images have been added. EDIT: I noticed a bit of the sky on the right needed changing. It has indeed been changed now Edited February 21, 2008 by Thomas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM™ Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Awesome, you just said you got Photoshop recently, and look at what you've produced already... Looks awesome. The transparent gradient effect on the right hand side looked awesome, but you changed it, and it looks a little 'odd'. Other than that, it looks far from perfect. I really would like to know how you did that transparent gradient effect on the right hand side Thomas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really would like to know how you did that transparent gradient effect on the right hand side Thomas. I didn't use photoshop . I have only used Photoshop once and I didn't like it because I liked the controls of Fireworks. If you still want to know, just tell me . I'd be willing and happy to tell you .

Gerard Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Wow a sensible person!! I can't stand photoshop, so I use fireworks. If you could make the desert screenshot darker (to match the sky and rock on either side). Also, your fade (is it a glowing line?) isn't quite at 100% on the right - there is still a bit of a 'jump' where the image ends. I'm impressed. Well done.

Thanks, I've been working out how to change it for a while because it is quite hard to darken it without completely ruining the image. I'll also move the image on the right over a little bit .

Chris Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Shame most people still use 1024x768. The fact you made the width 1250 pixels wide means about 60% of our visitors will leave due to the fact their screens will annoyingly have horizontal scroll. At least you actually have a useful amount of knowledge in Photoshop though, yours is one of the best efforts I've seen. Do you want to use my grunged up wording of 'The GTA Place' that was shown on that beta layout I posted earlier in this topic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTA Don Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 OGTAM, that does look a little plain. And that effect thing, on the picture, I dunno. There's just something weird about it. @ Chris: He used Fireworks, not Photoshop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll make the banner smaller to about 1024 and I'll see what I can do with the images in the banner. The grunged 'The GTA Place' logo, I'll try out and if it doesn't really fit in on the banner, I'll use the logo up above on the current banner.

These people have just spent hours making logos for YOUR site and you casually dig at everything. Firstly I suggested 1250px so that you dont have half a page of greyness. Set it as a background image to avoid horizontal scrolling. Read the topic. Secondly, he uses Fireworks not Photoshop. Read the topic. Lurk Moar.
