I'm basically making this thread so i can post any pictures I make and you can pick and choose which ones you like and don't like. Anyone else can feel quite free to make and post a relevent picture. Well to start with here is the kinship logo I did: And the smaller version: I've got a couple of others being made at the moment. Oh and here's the old one we turned down, just to help throw some ideas into the pot.

Well done Tin, this was a great idea One possible idea of an image we could design and make would be a banner. Something which would go across the entire top of the forum andwould realy stand out. I don't have any design ideas but it was just something I've seen in a number of other kinship forums

Though I hate to say it, I have in fact already been working on a banner, once again I'm sorry if the quality is not brilliant, villagephotos.com will only let me upload up to 12k without buying an account so I can only produce low quality images ><, well that or make simpler ones. Well here's the idea I had, sorry about the quality, and I know it still needs some tweaking, but how do you like the idea? I can make it a bit smaller for general use and that will improve the quality.

Wow Tin. That's so cool.
And that's all I have to say. Excellent.

That looks good Tin There's so many photos merged together that it becomes a kind of blend of themes which I think looks good and which I feel suits us ;D. I especially like the mountains in the middle and the trees to the right but I can't really work out what it is to the left I guess the fact it makes you really think about it is another good point. Well Done Tin ;D

It is in fact a pisture of the Grey Havens that I then layered with faded pictures of the enemies of and monsters of Middle Earth (shamelessly borrowed from MEO Source). I then cleared hte central ring and put the words Circle Of Peace in. It is supposed to help symbolise that while the rest of middle earth may be full of danger and enemies the circle of peace keeps at least one circle free. I'm not sure how well this comes accross, but oh well. Oh and here's a smaller version Oh and I tried adding some doves, I'm not sure whether you will like or not like the change.

Personally, I think the doves distract attention from the rest of the picture, which is probably more important anyway.

*GASP!* awesome pic Tin!! Je l'adore!
but as with what Tali said, the doves kinda distract from it.

Looking at the pictures as they appear, I do have to say I agree, the doves do distract rather, though it was an idea I wished to try out, so there you go. Anyone else have any ideas they wish me to try, I'm starting to struggle for ideas, I have a few others which I'm starting work on, but I'm not sure how long I can keep fresh ideas coming.

Yes I do realise this is a double post, but this is a new and a lot plainer image, it's a possiblity for a logo type thing as it's very small. What do you think?

Plain, simple, the light in the center creating a circular effect. I like it You are really making a lot of great images Tin. In fact I think I'll let you go, I mean I don't really need a hostage anymore ;p

If you wouldn't mind using an ftp client, Tin, I could hook you up with your own folder to upload your pics (unlimited size; though nothing outrageous please:) ) Just email or aim me if you're interested.....
Great pic, btw..

Ok, yet another posiblity to add to the collection: Oh and can someone let me know what ftp means. I would like somewhere I can put these pics where I can have the in high or medium quality, as it is I optimise and use my save or web function to cut down the size. Bother, the white background itsn't supposed to be there, it wasn't on my comp. Oh and if we do use it I can always alter the colours slightly so the don't clash with our boards.

In a few words, ftp is what enables us to upload things to a server. The ftp applications are free, and I believe Tali found a good free one (I'm on a mac). What you would do is run this application, enter a couple of settings, choose your pictures, and click "Upload". Your pics would then be at a victoryharvest.net url, such as www.victoryharvest.net/Tin/circleofpeacepic.jpeg.

Wow, that sounds like I could do that and manage to get my better quality images up (Yay).
Makes yet another question... so how do I get one of these ftp things, and is there anything I should know before using it?

I believe a good free one can be found at www.coreftp.com/download.htmlI'm fairly certain this is what Tali used, and it seems to work well with my server. No issues that I'm aware of for you to worry about; just tell me when you're ready. Probably catching me on AIM would be the best way to do it.

Ok, I'm going to download it as soon as I know which blue bit to press, I'm really not all that good on some aspects of the internet.
