![]() Okay, I'm stuck. This is the banner image I want to use for Phalanx:
![]() Someone who isn't terrible at typography please put the word "Phalanx" (and optionally the artist name) on this image in a cool way. I want to see what it is I'm doing wrong ![]()

![]() Triple post... I get the feeling I'm doing this alone lol
![]() But I have a question. I decided to tackle Oprah Shmup and I'm running into issues learning how to mask certain parts of an image. How would I go about making the rocks around the face in the Gradius image be above Oprah, but have Oprah show up over the face itself? Do I cut the rocks out of the first image then like, paste them over Oprah once I get her head in place? Also, any tips on getting Oprah to look more NES-shooter-ish? She's a bit... shiny for the rest of the image lol (Unless you think that contrast will add to the hilarity? idk) I use GIMP unfortunately (2 broke for PS) so please keep that in mind.

![]() The name's Salieri. Antonio Salieri.
![]() ![]() I feel like I learned a lot making this! And it turned out almost exactly like I wanted ![]() At this point I'm offering 25,000 credits for banner and backgrounds for all five Super Smash Bros. songs. I'd really like someone to do a nice job with those. Also I'll stop bumping this thread now... sorry for all the multi-posting >_<

![]() I'm still not very experienced with making sm graphics, I gave the first three super smash bros songs a try anyways. If you are ok with how these are turning out (I'm open to suggestions if you want some things changed as well), I'll do the other two later on.

![]() You spelled Airship incorrectly in the first banner.
The background image is excellent but the font is very weak. Hard to read and doesn't pop out much. Not entirely sure about the little clip art planets either, but whatever XD Angel Island Zone gfx are nice. bmah wanted the artist name on the banner, maybe you could do that for him? Ending Point gfx are the weakest. The bg image is a little plain but good, but the font is really... weird. And the red glow is kind of strange on the banner too. Anyway that's my 2c Honestly I'd use these three as they are- they're not too bad and I do want to get this pack out, but if you feel like improving on them I'd also be glad to wait.

I'm really happy with how the Angel Island Zone banner came out, simple yet very clean and appealing. I'll try to add the artist name to it as well. Yeah, the Ending Point graphics is meh. The background is a bit -too- simple, I'll try adding some flare in there. And I think I did overkill it with the font including the effects and the red glow, I'll try to tone that down (the contrast with the very simple background is a bit of a eyesore now that I look at it.) I'll probably end up just doing this from scratch again, I wasn't very satisfied with this one. |

![]() Just a note: text at the very bottom of the background may be partially obscured by the scoring bar, assuming one uses the standard SM theme. (talking about the airship theme and ending point bgs in particular)

hmm...thanks for letting me know, I'll move up the text a bit to accommodate. Someone should make a template with the proper dimensions and all the regions that are covered by stuff, that'd be REALLY helpful.

![]() I made a quick GFX guide out of boredom a few months back but to keep it short and sweet, basically keep these safe and danger zones in mind. Avoid placing type anywhere that's highlighted black in either the banner or background. Song evaluation and song select screens are the least important, so you can get away with danger zones.
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() That being said, I may or may not be your GFX salvation. Depends on my free time and whether I'm in the mood to shit storm anything.
