>What is this topic for:
We need background images for the voting page. Check out the Best Developer category to see what it will look like (scroll down to Valve).

>What should it be:
  • Don't put the transparent black box in the image; it's added via HTML.
  • The resolution must be exactly 641 x 132.
  • The filetype should be a .png
  • Keep in mind that the bottom part of the image will be partially covered by text and the black box.
  • Have a look through the images in this topic so you can see the kind of style we're aiming for. There shouldn't be text in the image since text will be overlayed (unless you're doing something like /v/ which would probably require it).
>How do I test it:
To see how your image will look in the nomination box, follow this link and replace the imgur URL at the end with the URL of your own image.

>How do I choose which nominees to make an image for:
First, check this topic to see which ones are already done. Next, you can use this page to choose which one to do. You're allowed to create an image for a nominee that already has an image: I'll just pick the one I like more.

If you're going to start on a nominee, please post in this topic so others can see! You can then edit your post later to paste in the final product!

>How do I get them to you:
You can either upload them to imgur and post them in this topic or email me ([email protected]) and I'll post them. I prefer the first one, since it's less effort on my part.

Okay I typed up a long-ass post of what we have left to do and then phpBB ate it because phpBB is shit. Instead, have this Excel spreadsheet:

https://2011.vidyagaemawards.com/forum-archive/images.xlsx

GREEN = nominee has an image for this specific category
YELLOW = nominee has at least one image, but not for this category. The text in the box says how many more images are required for this nominee in total.
RED = no images available for that nominee at all

Moving Target.. sorry but most of these are stretched and/or look terrible.


Capcom (in activision award)

Sonic Generations (a different one from the one that is already in place)
Image

Zelda Skyward Sword
Image

Sonic fanbase

also, there are a few nominees that come back more than 1 times, we don't need to make different pics for all of them do we?

None taken.

Had some free time. Thought I'd give it a shot and help.

EDIT: Seems more efficient to reuse the same banner.

Nope. It's a "nice to have" thing to have different images but other things are higher priority.

Here are the ones we have no images of yet:
  • Best Trailer: Dark Souls
  • Least Improved Sequel: Saints Row 3
  • Most Hated Fanbase: Bioware, MOBA
  • Scrub of the Year: Blue, Tim Buckley, Todd Howard
  • Worst Video Game Event: /v/GAs, E3, Minecon, Reddit Gaming Awards, Spike VGAs
  • Worst Voice Acting: Star Wars TOR
  • Worst Writing: Gears of War 3
14 in total

Also, Segab: you know the original image you made for Dragon Age 2, with the subtle diagonal line overlay (or whatever it was) - would you able to create a transparent .png with just that overlay? That way I can overlay all the images in HTML.

I burnt through a whole bunch of images. There are now only 14 that we need. The sooner we get these done, the sooner the voting can begin.

it was TV noise.

or without the black border

edit:
Transparent divs don't work under Internet Explorer, so I'd suggest using the first one and completely remove the overlay you put.
But I'm not even sure if Internet Explorer supports double backgrounds.
Either way, screw ie.

I'd get on the missing pics but I gotta finish college work first, so if anyone else can make this it'd probably be faster.
