[Twitter/Site] Graphics Request [C]

[Nicolas King]

Alright,

So HNZ's Twitter page is lacking uniqueness. ( https://twitter.com/HogwartsNZ )
If somebody would be interested in making a new image for HNZ to use as its Twitter background, I would them for life.
It could be as simple as "Hogwarts New Zealand" in a nifty font (as say here -> https://twitter.com/ZNResource ) or something much fancier than that.
Any which way, I'd like it to be unique and obviously HNZ's.
Any colour scheme will do, I can change the link/sidebar/etc. colours to suit.

Thanksss

I forgot to add, Twitter has some specifications that must be followed for me to upload the image/use it:

Images must be smaller than 800k. GIF, JPG, PNG.

(I'de prefer .png )

I gave it a go...

I'm not even really sure of what the size was meant to be but...

 

[Nicolas King]

Wow, that looks quite amazing.
Unfortunately, due to how Twitter works with such things I can't use that as it is.
A banner that small, unrepeated, will be mostly covered by Twitter's interface. That's why it's best that any text is vertically aligned and on the left.
If the image is to be only used once, it be a solid colour, or vertical gradient (with the image being at least 1300px wide).
If the image is to be tiled, it should be a fairly simple and repeatable design.
Attached to this post is an image of how your supplied background would look on the page.

 

[Leighton Marsters]

oooh i get now!

So would you use, it if I edited it?

 

[Nicolas King]

Depending on how you edit it, yes.
It needs to be large enough, or solid enough in colour, not to be repeated - or it needs to be a pattern that can be repeated (and likely without text).

I took that design and made it so you can see what I mean here.
The first one is the design tiled.
The second is the design not tiled and with no background colour change.
The third is the design, not tiled, and with an attempted background colour change (that doesn't look good because the background is so complex).

 

[Leighton Marsters]

Oh so, you either want me to make it wider..... Or.. yep I know what you mean...


Like this??

Okie dokie!

Now uh, Twitter has a thing for *enlarging* (enter fuming here) images.
I don't know why - maybe it's just my computer who knows.

Anyway, here is my attempt:

If you can, can you link a preview so I know what it looks like?
So I can fix it up if necessary =)

 

[Nicolas King]

I've attached my screencap of that background (thanks a tonne, by the way).
I would just recommend bringing the second set of crests and the site URL closer in?

 

[Sephora Finette]

Ahhh for merlins sake >=(
I knew Twitter would do that.
It's really stupid when it comes to custom backgrounds DD

I'll fix that now and give you a new img link =]
