art question Posted by Tay June 21, 2004 - 18:00:50 Topic ID# 1683
I know you are all swamped with getting ready, but I have a quick
question -

I noticed how badly pixilated the nominee buttons I did are where they
appear on the website. Is there a size I should have been working to
or anything I can do to fix that? They are fine in the yahoo folder.
It would help me to know before I upload any more.

If you made the one from Tolkien's art, it was humongous on the yahoo site
and had to be shrunk down quite a bit.

The page says no bigger than the three I made, so here are the dimensions on
the three I made, in pixels:

#1: 98 W x 51 H
#2: 106 W x 65 H
#3: 108 W x 62 H

So let's say no bigger than 110 W x 70 H.

Now, I'm going to go ride my bike for a bit before I come back to work on
all those corrections.

not art on mine, - for ex, the nominee button on Bilbo's hand is
90 x 72. I downloaded a button to use a guide, and I thought I was
inside the range. If I can resize them to make them clearer, I will
be glad to do it. (Also glad to help out with other things if
needed- just give me a shout.)

I just downloaded your new one, with Eldarion. It looks small on the Yahoo
site, but when I open it in Microsoft PhotoEditor to check the size, I get
400 W x 222 H.

Maybe we can try having you e-mail it to me. Maybe Yahoo is blowing them up
somehow.
