There aren't many things I wouldn't give a try, but I've never created a myspace layout and would rather not try.

Well not really the layout kinda like another background like you did before?
and smaller ones that just say B.T.B. on it with a different background in the back get me?
Basically the parts i can do the actual layout page on my own
I just need the graphics or you still wont try it? Neutral

In the least, I'd rather not start without some style specifications, especially now that you've a logo.

Subject: Re: Heavens GIMP Works and Signature Requests Tue Mar 23, 2010 5:32 pm

Style specifications?
As in what?

Subject: Re: Heavens GIMP Works and Signature Requests Tue Mar 23, 2010 5:36 pm

Color, texture style, logo; anything. I won't be doing another random blind run. If you don't already have some kind of vision as to what you want, use the old images that are all still in this thread.

Colors like http://209.85.62.24/174/125/0/f340387/BTBOcean.jpg this
Logo like

And a photo negative: http://209.85.62.24/174/125/0/f486565/BeyondTBLogoP2Neg.png

Photo negative with transparent bg:

Except transparent no white background
and the glasses pieces transparent too! I think that would be nice....uhm

Better?
What do you mean by texture style?

The Red Hot Chili Peppers have a fair example to use. This is their background: http://download.wbr.com/rhcp/myspace/rhcp01.jpg It's very simple, and their entire theme is based around the speckled, blue/white style. Their table cells have a slightly darker, simpler style, because that's where content - such as text - should be most prominent; not its background. They've decided upon this image to serve that purpose: http://download.wbr.com/rhcp/myspace/rhcp04.gif

Just BTB on an image with specific colors isn't enough as far as specifications. For instance, the RHCP background would be described as, "a large mass of white speckles radiating from the center of a blue background." Just that one phrase easily describes every detail of that simple background. If you can't do that, you either don't have enough details, or you have too many details. I can't go any farther if you can't do that.

You can go here to preview code: http://www.mrdoe.com/generators/css_preview_tool Preview the code below by pasting it into the provided text box and clicking the preview button. If you can't give me more specifications after that, I can't help you. In the preview is all the images, including an overly-complex background.

Code:: <style>

That looks pretty cool so far! =D
So okay i got you so what other specifications would you need to continue?
Like what you said about the blue background and white speckles?

Subject: Re: Heavens GIMP Works and Signature Requests Tue Mar 23, 2010 10:07 pm

I've already said it: I need to know what kind of background you want; everything about it. I'm not going to guess at random patterns and details. If you don't have any ideas - or can't come up with any ideas - use the old one or use that example; there's nothing more I can do.

Subject: Re: Heavens GIMP Works and Signature Requests Wed Mar 24, 2010 6:52 pm

Well I'm happy with the one you made there all i want in there is the name the full name not the initials.....
Like the wallpaper you made the first time like that....
and the fist *logo type of thing* like see through but like coming out of that vortex or whatever it is?
Like if its breaking thru that portal or something get me?
So that in the middle along with the name on the fist?

I'm really sorry you sound annoyed but i appreciate what you've done for me and for putting up with me....=/
Again I'm very sorry if your mad or annoyed=/

Alright. Here's a shot:

And here's one with a lighter reflection:

Subject: Re: Heavens GIMP Works and Signature Requests Thu Mar 25, 2010 4:13 pm

Alright i like the first one how did you get the code for it last time? to preview it?

Subject: Re: Heavens GIMP Works and Signature Requests Thu Mar 25, 2010 4:20 pm

In the previous code, replace:
http://209.85.62.24/174/125/0/f544521/BTBLarge.jpg
with:
http://209.85.62.24/174/125/0/f545370/BTBLarge.jpg

It's just basic CSS code.

Edit: Look at your work in action! =D
