Great dog photos or drawings for our home page?

Aidan's picture

Does anyone have a really cool photo or drawing in a wide landscape format that would be suitable to run across the top of our home page? I'd like to use something that someone in our community has created.


While our budget doesn't quite extend to commissioning a piece, I'd be open to a barter deal :-)

What dimensions are you looking for?

Hi Denise, I think 1024x78

Hi Denise, I think 1024x78 or something in that vicinity, basically to fill in the orange band at the top of this page.

I had another idea, I thought if I collected a bunch of photos of dogs in training I could crop them to a square format and montage them across the top of the page.

I'm sure you could do this yourself. Do you have a version of photoshop or a similar program? Also, keep in mind that you don't need to have the photos all square. A montage of different sizes could be nice.
I did one for my ebay store that I haven't really got going yet. Take a look and see if it is what you were thinking. This didn't take very long. I had a patterned background, set to the right dimensions, then copied and pasted and resized different photos.

And - another idea

Aidan,

Another idea would be for people to submit photos somehow, then change the banner every so often.

I like that

... it's good to keep things updated, so I like that idea.

I've got software which will create a montage. Something like Gus'n'Max's would be nice.

montage

I am just self-taught, but I imagine somewhere on this list is someone who actually has training, if you want help with it. Maybe send it out to the yahoo group? In between all the stuff I should be doing to get ready for vacation, I put together a 1024 x 78 of the puggles, if you want to use it for a while. If not, I completely understand. I tried to put it on the yahoo photos site, but because it is a .gif format, it wouldn't take it. I think that .gif works better for the web.
Will be interesting to see what you come up with!

Keen to have a look...

Could you email the 1024x78 to me?

banner photo

Aidan,

I went on vacation after I sent the last email about the banner, and I am so embarassed, I forgot to follow up. I am not sure how to get the photo to you. Through the blog, or do you have an email address to send it to? Sorry again about the lag in time. We are trying to get our house ready to sell, and my mind is going too many directions.

Denise

no problems...
