Yeah, hold on, lemme write it...

Here we go:
Code:
Banner description:
Banner urgency:
Text:
Art:
Background:
Miscellanious effects:
Now, an explanation:
Banner description - Self-explanitory
Banner urgency - (Pretty obvious) Do you need this by tomorrow? Tonight? Or can it wait awhile?
Text - What text do you want included in it? (Credit for chongyian, humhumgames, and Zangooser are not optional)
Art - Who do you want to make the art? What do you want exactly?
Background - Who do you want to make the background? Will it be a flat color, a gradient, a photo, a painted scene?
Miscellanious effects - Do you want the text to have a shadow or be 3D? Do you want the art to look like it's separate from the background?

...sound good? Is there anything we should add / remove? I think I got everything...

Agreed, awesome, love it. But we should add (after every question) who exactly you want to do each thing. The sig has to be made up of two or three people (or else they'll just end up ordering at one of our individual shops).

As for the text, anything really. Wait-- I got it!

smile Yes, yes it is. It was my first signature on Scratch, believe it or not.

Hows my sig going? A mau5head can be complicated due to the ears. hmm

I have a question for you, Zangooser. Remember the last banner i ordered from you with orange gradient and the TSC banner? How did you make it change swiftly?

Hey, didn't that used to be in your sig? The quote, I mean?

Anyway, sure. I guess my limit on the number of things you can have is three, because I have plenty of space.

Are you sure? This is your chance to advertise your project(s), declare a fandom, say your motto...

Exactly. Hey, later, can I add one more thing on, when I release my OS?

No thanks. I'm not currently making any big projects anyways. And what do you mean by "declare a fandom"?

Declaring a fandom? It just means saying, for example, "I'm a brony!" or "I love Pokemon, talk to me if you do, too!", and so on.

First things first: have you attempted animating with Gimp yet? Have you figured out how to make an animation and upload it to Scratch? (the website, I mean)

Oh, I haven't started yet... It's weird, I have sort of a reverse schedule of everybody else: I have way more time to work on banners on schooldays than I do on weekends. Currently, it's 10:30 pm where I am; this is the only time I've been able to get online. And I can't stay up too late, because I have to get up especially early tomorrow because I have a ton of stuff to do with my family. hmm

Yes, definitely, but only those that make use of the layer (Always next layer)
The good ones can be found in the first post of my shop while the lousy ones are scattered all over the place...

Hey, Zangooser, do you do icons? I'm looking for new icons for both my accounts ( Monsterpoison and this one) because I got bored of my current ones.

Wait, it's about 10:40 here.... I wonder if ewe live near each other? I might know you if your name is Evan, he's my friend that lives down the street from me.

"Make use of the layer"? I'm pretty sure the only way you can animate is by using layers... :P
Anyways, let me briefly explain the way animations are timed on Gimp. When you make an animation on Gimp and save it (you have to save it as a gif, and select "Save as animation", but you probably already know this), you get a prompt box that will ask you a few things about the settings of the animation, as well as unspecified layer delay time. That's pretty much a shorter, fancier way of saying: You haven't told me how long you want me to pause on this/these frame(s). How long do you want me to pause on them, by default?
The default delay time is 100 milliseconds, which is .1 of a second. If you saved the animation and set the unspecified layer delay time (we'll just refer to it as "the ULDT" from now on) to 70 milliseconds, all layers, if they don't say otherwise (I'll get to that later), will be paused at for .07 seconds.
You still following, or am I being confusing? Sorry... it's just that I'm a visual learner, and I learn and think in pictures. It's very hard for me to explain things to people, especially if I can't use hand gestures and such to elaborate. XP

I'm a girl, so there's a good chance my name isn't Evan. tongue
Besides, it doesn't mean we live in the same area, just in roughly the same longitude. Like, it's 10:40 in Florida right now, and it's 10:40 in Maryland as well. (I don't live in either state, it was just an example)
Look up "time zones" on Google and you'll see what I mean. wink

chongyian · 2012-09-22 22:58:21

umm... you just taught me how to change the time, but you haven't taught me how to make it change smoothly, or did i miss something?

No, you didn't miss anything. I just wanted to make sure I was making sense and not just throwing information at you. wink
Say you have six layers in your animation:
Frame1
Frame2
Frame3
Frame4
Frame5
Frame6

(Assume that the ULDT is 100 milliseconds)
Now, say you want Frame1 to transition smoothly and quickly into Frame4, and you want the screen to pause on Frame6 before looping. To change from the default delay time on a single frame, you add this to the end of the layer name: (#ms).
So, to make Frame1 transition into Frame4 using the above 'code', it would look something like this:
Frame1
Frame2(50ms)
Frame3(50ms)
Frame4
Frame5
Frame6

...But wait! There's more!
Remember how I said I wanted the animation to linger on Frame6? Well, we just apply the same rules as we did to the other ones. Only, instead of making the delay time shorter, we're making it longer. We're going to change the delay time on Frame6 to one second, to be exact.
If you know the prefixes for things like liters, grams, meters, and so on, (milli-, centi-, deci-, et cetera), you'd know that 100 milliseconds = 1 decisecond (I believe you'd call it that), and so by the same token, 1000 milliseconds = 1 second. Using that knowledge, we can now complete our example animation, which would look like this:

Frame1
Frame2(50ms)
Frame3(50ms)
Frame4
Frame5
Frame6(1000ms)

...do you understand time delays now, or at least, better than you did twenty minutes ago? smile

Cool! Yeah, Thanks!

Oh, well... I dunno. Four people is a bit much for a single shop. hmm
Anyways, I'm not the final judge on this. You'll have to ask chongyian and HumHum, too. Preferably, ask them in the collab we made for the topic, that way you don't have to ask them individually.

chongyian · 2012-09-24 05:23:31

cool! okay ! we could give it a new name: ZHCM Art & Signature Shop!
I think 4 members is the max. Imagine ZHCMS Signature blah blah blah...
too long, right?

jontmy00 · 2012-09-24 07:40:50

Thanks for the reserve, Zang.

I have come to make a request for the signature.

----------

Here it is:

Background Color: A gradient of Green to Yellow to Red to Blue just like my sig.
Background Design: A wavery pattern if possible.

Text (Big & Centered): "Cubecraft Adventures" with the "C" dropped capped.
Text (Small & Right): "Project name by chongyian & ErnieParke." ~~Line Break~~ "Signature by Zangooser."
Text Color: Anthing contrasting to the background; no gradients.
Text Effect: Add shadow.

Size: 510 pixels (Yes, it fits.) by 150 pixels.

----------

Yep, that's all. tongue Anything I forgot?

Hey, i saw my name! lol, we dont really need SUCH credit... just mention our names in the project notes will do... (it might ruin the banner, lol!)

It does not. It will cut it off or resize to 150p since the 2nd last forum update.

@ jontmy00
Good gravy, I'm not even going to try to quote that. But that's got to be the most detailed order I've ever gotten. tongue
I understand everything else, but what do you mean by "drop capped"? Like, small caps?
