Re: Banners - Discussion Thread #1

[albean99]

I like having Ben banners now but one with a bunch of former people would be okay mixed in here and there. I don't think it should be restricted to couples though.

I think since we are so active in sluething Ben's season and featuring it in the BachSpoilers twitter that Ben should be the central figure on the banner. I would not mind seeing other Bach and Bachettes featured in the background though. I like the idea of featuring the girls along with Ben as soon as we get down to a reasonable number. Maybe 10? I think once the season is done if we feature the hopefully happy couple for a couple of weeks then we could put up banners featuring other bach/bachettes and maybe some of the other reality shows until sluething gets underway for the next Bachelorette's season. JMO As long as there are people who are willing to make and supply banners I love the idea of rotation. I think it will bring people to the site to see what the new banner looks like each week.

Since graphics are one of my fun passions, you can count me in

Hi mnm, I'm not opposed to that type of banner especially right now since it is an in between season until January 2nd. I'd like to hear others thoughts on it. What do others think? I think when the Bachelor starts airing, we could make banners of Ben with the girls who are left after a rose ceremony maybe. We'll see. But good ideas! =)

I like your idea of changing the banner after each RC. I don't know if anyone has the time to do that, though. :giggle:

I think the banner should be changed when the season isn't airing. For instance, Ash's banner was up for a long time, and we could have been rotating other couples on the banners during that time. We could even do that now, since Ben's banners will be up once his season begins. Maybe during the holidays, we could do a seasonal banner?

Just a few ideas from someone who has no idea how to even begin making a banner. :P

Thanks for your ideas ladies! It is very helpful. One thing I wanted to mention is, right after Ash's season finale, I wanted to make a new banner with Ashley and JP featured since they were the final couple, but I got a lot of feedback saying that people didn't think that featuring the couple and then other contestants in the background was right since not everyone liked them. :/ That's why a banner with Ash and JP featured was not used. We'll figure out what to do when the time comes.

Well, everyone's going to have their own opinions and you can't please them all!
The more you rotate banners, the more likely it will be that everyone will finally get to see one that they like.
I appreciate everything that you and Love_me do for us here!

Thanks mnm!! It is so hard to please everyone, but unfortunately I try to do that!! LOL I do appreciate everyone's opinion so much! I do like the rotation thing we are doing now too. :Nod:

Wow, would it be fair to have Ben and his F1 featured, since there was not one of Ashley & her F1 featured in the banner? I'm certain as many who didn't like them, many and more did like them. Ben may not be such a unanimous favorite and liked by everyone either, just like Ashley.

Everyone has done a great job on the banners. Thank you.

San, you are the best and try to please everyone and be fair, and appreciate all you and Love_Me do for us.

ETA: Maybe feature Ben and his F1 on one side and Ashley and JP on the other side (as they are the most recent Bachelorette and Bachelor couples) with other contestants in the middle, could please the majority?

Hey Gina, I agree we need to be fair. So when it gets to that time, we'll figure out what to do. Good idea including Ben and his F1 and Ash and JP. I know I can't please everyone, but ya know how I am. =) =) =) I just did not know what to do with the banners.

You did great. Glad you liked that idea, since they would be the current couples of both shows, it would be a great banner for all fans to enjoy, and a nice compromise for both groups. I think it'd be nice to put some smaller pics. of the past successful couples from the show too, Ali/Roberto, of course, Trista/Ryan, Peyton/Chris, if you do a montage in the center, flanked by the Ben/F1 and JP/Ashley. Just a thought, since were are kicking round ideas. :D

Thanks, again for all you do.

What are the dimensions for the banners we submit? I think I might try my hand at making a few this weekend seeing I finally have some time to breath.

Yay! The dimensions are~ No smaller than 800x288. Have fun!

Thanks San. I will see if I can whip up anything worth posting this weekend.
