Could use a good graphics designer person here please.
 

U.S. Army Rangers is in need of a graphics designer and we have none. We need a banner made with the following,

Width: 900
Height: 125

Colors HTML hex color:

#420000 (a dark red)

#CCCCCC (almost white grey)

and #999999 (Dark grey)

If you can make us a kewl banner I would include you in the credits. Sorry I have not put the site up yet (new site that is) so I cannot show you anything yet, I will put the site up asap. If you could, post the images here, or email them to rikimaru51@hotmail.com

Our full name is United States Army Rangers, our Tag is [USAR]. We been around since before the demo, and our website which isnt so good right now is http://www.usarmyrangers.tk and is going to always be that url. We play Moh, Americas Army, Bf1942, and WWIIOL.

Thanks for any help.

Regards:
Wolf
C/O [USAR]

*knock on wood* anyone out there?

I would love to help you but it's hard to find the time. Let me know if no one else offers ok?

Where's your site? I'll take a look and see if I can get a feel for what you're after. (the http://www.usarmyrangers.tk link provides a lovely Internal Server error.)

I'm not promising anything but if something comes to mind, maybe I can whip something up for ya.

Same here. I'll see what I can do.

thats the older site, .tk is having problems. I have not uploaded new site, want me to? I dont have EVERYONE on it, just and basic links and page, Im doing bits at a time waiting for banner lol. If you want I'll upload it.

heres the link, mind no text, just the page really. All links work (most of them) but doesnt mean any content. I will move the site down for the banner when i get one so it doesnt over run the ad at the top.

That's about all I need for now.

The banners at the top of the page are fine... If you could move them to the bottom of the page, it'd look a little cleaner. I can make your banner fit around them with some white space so they look like they belong there. That'd make more efficient use of the whole area. Otherwise, we're in scrollville right from the getgo.... Your site's banner should probably be the first thing users see though. It's up to you. Lemme know.

If you want any quick links, text links that would be available on every page, like "Forums" and "F.A.Q.'s", "Login", "Register" or whatever, lemme know so I can spin something for ya. They'd be just text links with .css mouseovers (underlines).

Something like:
| Forums | F.A.Q. | Login | Register | Members | Another Link |

The "News" heading in the center of the page, looks like a Baskerville font, you want any text in your banner to match that? If so, just make sure I've got the font family correct.

the font is Copperplate Gothic Light for the "News" thing under headlines.

You can make quick fonts if ya like, doesnt matter to me, what ever you want, and go ahead make the banner fit around the ad. Thanks btw

awight den.

Take a look at it here:

You might have to copy and paste that link in a new window since GeoCities doesn't allow links from BBS's.

Lemme know what you think. I can send you the .PSD source file or webready graphics, whatever you want.

Sweet dude thats kickin. Yea i like it, just a question, why are there 2 news quick links lol.

rikimaru51@hotmail.com

biggrin: That's just filler for layout.. You'd put whatever text link you want up there.

I'm workin' on Rev 1.1 anyway... hang on and I'll have something else.

rev 1.1?

Yeah, Revision 1.1

I'm doing another graphic.

ohhh heh

You in a rush???

Check your personal messages. I sent the link there.

just bumping it to the top.

If you can't wait to download the .zip file link I sent, here's the URL to your page header.

You'll have to copy and paste the link in a new browser window for it to work.
[code:af355]http://www.geocities.com/killahdude_007/USAR/header.htm[/code:af355]

cool: enjoy.

Rev 1.2
 

Hi, tried it in Netscape and had a small alignment issue due to the banner ad. It was fine in Netscape 6.0, but 4.08 had the problem. BTW, tried it out in Opera 6.0 as well and it looked fine.

It has been corrected and the results uploaded to: http://www.geocities.com/killahdude_007/USAR/header.htm

Copy and paste that URL into a new browser window.

Another life lesson learned....
 

Another life lesson learned.... Why communication is important in team projects. The following is the response I received in a PM.

Count that at 6 hours of my time wasted..... ooh, but I improved my skillset. (Yay!) cry:

Shit happens, then ya die. I'll frag your ass next server I see you on. eeyup! Gonna kill ya... SLOWLY! evil:

I'm sure it was merely a lack of communication. Happens all the time. On the plus side, they say it's important that you learn one new thing every day.

Don't worry, I won't flame ya too badly on the boards... we'll just pretend this never happened and count it as a learning experience.

BTW, tell your bud I've added his page to the list on http://webpagesthatsuck.com wink:

bah you will get over it lol. Its not like i knew. Put it this way would you rather use a site that looked bad or a site that looked good? Your banner was sweet and I will use it for sigs. But I like the website my friend made for USAR.

If I knew he was making a website I wouldnt have asked you, He never told me a thing about it. And I aint heard from him in a week, he just emailed me yesterday a .zip I had no clue wtf it was when i opened it, it was a website. Im sorry but hell I didnt know.


But you got the PM i sent, another job offer heh. The site i gave ya http://www.militarysim.com/public/proto/eindex.shtml is only for Americas Army at this time, but Im joining to help him out and he wants me to put up a moh page for the site. And I could use your help banner image wise. And if you want I could get you a spot on staff as the graphics designer. Just let me know.

Thanks for the offer, but I'm too busy what with real work and all. wink:

BTW, I was kidding about listing that site at webpagesthatsuck.com. LOL

Good luck with your future endeavors.

heh I know that its a site about learning how to make a good site by lookin at bad ones. But ok but we could use ya help heh. Okay well you will see me around the boards still heh. Not like me leaving.
