I'll join! Nothing fancy here though.
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
So is that enough to be let in?  |

Of course! This isn't some sort of restrictive "you have to be Rembrandt's Second Coming just to be considered" club. (good thing too, or it'd stand at 0 membership ) You don't even have to join if you don't want to, just come and see the banners/post some of your own.
Nice face.

I have never made a banner. But I can try.
An artistic interpretation of the number of thread members under more restrictive joining requirements (regarding Rembrant and such):
Wow, that took me waaaay too long  |

I think that to start out, BT should share his cheatery ways of doing it.
Not that they're really cheating, he's just more innovative than most people.  |

Hi! I would like to join and grace you all with hand made banners by yours truly.

Okay... gorgeous Easter banner BT.
(I clicked the link and then left the computer alone for five minutes and it loaded okay. Yay. ) |

That I’m tired of castles in the air
I’ve got a dream I want the world to share
And castle walls just lead me to despair |

Well, I use Word's Find & Replace function, the font face Courier New, and a depressingly small dose of inventiveness.
If you use an ASCII font-- that is, a font where every letter takes up the same amount of horizontal space, regardless of which letter it is-- you can design a banner with just letters. For instance, when I designed the Easter banner above, I wrote this in Word:
code:
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
zxxxxxx----------------xxxxxxz
zxxxxxx----vvvvvvvv----xxxxxxz
zxxxxxxx---vqqqqqqvv--xxxxxxxz
zxxxxxxx---vqqqqqqvv--xxxxxxxz
z-xxxxxxx--vqqqqqqvv-xxxxxxx-z
z---xxxxx--vqqqqqqvv-xxxxx---z
z-----xxxx-vqqqqqqvvxxxx-----z
z-------xx-vqqqqqqvvxx-------z
z---------xvqqqqqqvv---------z
z--vvvvvvvvvqqqqqqvvvvvvvvv--z
z--vqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqvv-z
z--vqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqvv-z
z--vqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqvv-z
z--vqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqvv-z
z--vqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqvv-z
z--vqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqvv-z
z--vvvvvvvvvqqqqqqvvvvvvvvvv-z
z---vvvvvvvvqqqqqqvvvvvvvvvv-z
z---------xvqqqqqqvv---------z
z-------xx-vqqqqqqvvxx-------z
z-----xxxx-vqqqqqqvvxxxx-----z
z---xxxxx--vqqqqqqvv-xxxxx---z
z-xxxxxxx--vqqqqqqvv-xxxxxxx-z
zxxxxxxx---vqqqqqqvv--xxxxxxxz
zxxxxxxx---vqqqqqqvv--xxxxxxxz
zxxxxxx----vqqqqqqvv---xxxxxxz
zxxxxxx----vqqqqqqvv---xxxxxxz
zxxxxx-----vqqqqqqvv----xxxxxz
zxxxxx-----vqqqqqqvv----xxxxxz
zxxxx------vqqqqqqvv-----xxxxz
zxxxx------vqqqqqqvv-----xxxxz
zxxx-------vqqqqqqvv------xxxz
zxxx-------vqqqqqqvv------xxxz
zxx--------vqqqqqqvv-------xxz
zxx--------vqqqqqqvv-------xxz
zx---------vqqqqqqvv--------xz
zx---------vvvvvvvvv--------xz
z-----------vvvvvvvv---------z
z----------------------------z
z----------------------------z
z----o-o-ooo------ooo--oo----z
z----o-o-o---------o--o------z
z----ooo-oo--------o---o-----z
z----o-o-o---------o----o----z
z----o-o-ooo------ooo-oo-----z
z----------------------------z
z--oo--ooo--oo-ooo-o--o-o-o--z
z--o-o--o--o---o---oo-o-o-o--z
z--oo---o---o--oo--o-oo-o-o--z
z--o-o--o----o-o---o--o------z
z--o-o-ooo-oo--ooo-o--o-o-o--z
z----------------------------z
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Then I went into Find & Replace and performed these Find & Replaces:
code:
'x' -> ':)'
'v' -> ':x'
'q' -> ':('
'z' -> ':Q'
'o' -> ':)'
'-' -> ':D'
Once the end result was copied into the TORC post box, I got the banner above.

So, I still don't exactly have time to do a banner, but... I do mine in an Excel spreadsheet, very similar to BT... one letter per cell, and then copy and paste them into Word, do the find-and-replace, and copy
that
into the reply box.

I'm such a procrastinator...

Thank you all for your patience.
The verdict is in: The banners will only affect the loading of this particular thread. Thus, the TORC Heraldry Guild is hereby declared re-opened for business.
Balrogthane, you now have 3 remaining threads.
Please let me know which of the other two you will forfeit for this one. |

Wandering! You've got to be the last person I expected to have posted in here. Thanks!
It takes me anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour, depending on how clever I feel like getting. (other than the Man of the Month one, that took hours... involved turning a picture into a 5-color bitmap and converting it pixel-wise...) Mostly I use find & replace in Word to convert text into the banner, as described
here
.
I was planning a Manwe poster once, something celebrating the calm discussion found there, the openness to new ideas, and the complete lack of sarcasm, but I realized there wouldn't be anywhere to put it so I gave it up.

I just mean that there's no good place to post it where it would reach its intended audience. The real Manwe-istas barely ever appear out of their haunts, and Manwe's kinda not the place for a random thread with a poster. Oh well.

Hey BT! Just wanted to see if you were still alive. There were rumors...whisperings...
Sorry for the delay. We went to the Smokies at the end of September and I'm still not quite back yet.
Despite the drought, I managed to harvest a bumper crop of tomaters this year...Rutgers...Brandywine...Lemon Boys...Green Zebras...Red Pears. And every time we broke out the lettuce and fried up some bacon, we inevitably thought of thee...
This page takes way too long to load with dial up! We still can't get a high speed connection out here; it's like living in Senegal. If we ever do, I promise to post a mind-boggling banner; a picture of me, perhaps. There are some really good ones from the layout I did for Frothing Stallion magazine.  |
