walrus -> image challenge (a bit of fun) (5/13/2004 17:30:21)

I would like to have a very simple site with one 'killer' image
I know a lot of you guys are experts at graphics... so here is the challenge
1. make an image that is 150px wide
2. background is #800000
3. text is white
4. text reads "MCCA" and font is similar to "felix"
5. File size no more than 10kb <edit>make it 20kb for animation</edit>
you can use only the above two colors plus black
image can be gif or jpg and animated gifs are welcome
deadline is 17th May
go for it...

The winning grapic could be used on the site with a credit (+link) to the designer
PRIZE: The latest album (CD) from my favourite musician/singer/songwriter

Ive had a go to start things off.

not sure whether you're allowing shades/tints of the colour so i'll try 2 versions

Go on then i'll have a go.

Here is my humble effort.

walrus -> RE: image challenge (a bit of fun) (5/14/2004 12:03:38)

Some great stuff so far, but still looking for the 'killer'.

I didnt mention to keep the design as broad as possible. I could extend a few days if you need more time.

how broad can you get with a font like that, 3 colours and that canvas size?



jaybee -> RE: image challenge (a bit of fun) (5/14/2004 13:27:45)

A Killer Image..... 150px wide!!!!

You are joking. Why so small?

Ok, ok so I cheated and mixed black and white to make grey

No problem there at all! Good work

I haven't restricted the height of the image and some animation would give greater scope for creativity!



jaybee -> RE: image challenge (a bit of fun) (5/14/2004 14:01:25)

I just twigged the height thing and have been playing around with some. Out 2 nite but I'll give it a whirl over the weekend. Do you have a maximum height?



walrus -> RE: image challenge (a bit of fun) (5/14/2004 14:16:40)

prefer not to scroll off the page [:D] The idea is to be on the left hand side under the nav so dont go to mad. I realise there's not that much you can do with three colours and four letters but that hasn't stopped some good work so far.



walrus -> RE: image challenge (a bit of fun) (5/14/2004 14:42:42)

A bit heavy on the file size...

d a v e -> RE: image challenge (a bit of fun) (5/14/2004 15:17:16)

walrus -> RE: image challenge (a bit of fun) (5/14/2004 15:55:59)

Dave, one of those has hit the spot![;)]



d a v e -> RE: image challenge (a bit of fun) (5/15/2004 4:10:46)

which one?



Donkey -> RE: image challenge (a bit of fun) (5/15/2004 7:48:14)

Careful Dave you might win the CD.

Walrus could be a Chris de Burgh fan[;)]
Or even worse Country & Western.
