I’d love to see some ideas or suggestions for a better banner image for this community, something that shows a bit more spirit and interest. This current image is one that I found on Unsplash.
If anyone is interested in creating a new banner image for the community, please submit it in the comments of this post!
I’m seriously considering making some new ink splatters and then taking a photo. But which ink? 🤔
Baystate Blue!
Just kidding - don’t do that 😅
Something with crazy much sheen could be sweet.
I don’t actually have Baystate Blue but I do have others with sheen!
Making ink splatters is actually easy and a lot of fun: https://fountainpenlove.com/how-to/how-to-make-an-ink-splat/
The baystate Blue was just a joke, because I think it would be silly to use the ink thats known for being difficult to clean 😅
Thanks for the Guide - it seems like a lot of fun.
Emerald of Chivor!
This is just going to be a good excuse to play with ink and make a mess :D
Are there any guidelines for the dimensions of the banner?
There isn’t much official, but I just did some testing and had good results with 970x240. Less than 1MB size and smaller is better.
Here’s how I found it:
Here are three I tried putting together, I hope the aspect ratio/size is okay.
EDIT: I have no idea why it’s prompting an 18+ warning lmao… I think imgur is a little too gung-ho on their anti pornography filter lately
I used Microsoft Designer, an AI image generator. Here’s one:
I do wish the nib was straighter. I’m not one for writing great prompts or designing… but using AI is a method you could try.
That’s lovely - thank you for sharing!
I missed this comment - sorry about that! That is absolutely gorgeous! <3
