CA2OR Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 good point. That would be pretty cool. +1 on the fade on right as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downhill_biker Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 what if the right side had the potm for each month? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 That would probably be pretty cool too. If it faded to the POTM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downhill_biker Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 i wasn't thinking fading to potm, i was thinking have the potm on the right side in a frame. kindof mirroring the pnwmas clown fish logo. and yes i like my straws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Allen Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I understand the comments. Problem being that this banner is dynamic based on the resolution or width of the browser. So, the left side needs to be a solid color to expand. With that, if we had a cool coral picture on the right it would have to stop where the solid color starts now and that would look a little goofy. I was able to float the title over the banner and center it tonight balancing everything a little. The alternative to this to have a fixed width site which gives the flexibility to have a really cool banner. But, that limits the amount of data to be display in all other areas of the site. So, hence the reason we took this approach.

CA2OR Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 Leave it to Rob to drop the proper info in times of need. Well said Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downhill_biker Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 answer me this: how is the image on the left side "floating" in the banner, and you are not able to do the same on the right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 Hey Rob, just a note the ".org" is kinda hard to see in the logo on the banner. Maybe a bold outline or color change? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Allen Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Ok, let me see if I can explain this. When dealing with a dynamically sized site you are dealing with 100% and not a fixed width, like 1024px. Graphics like what we have in the banner are a fixed width, in this case 980px wide. You have three options left, center or right and then have to fill the additional amount to 100%. 100% could be 981px, 1024px, 1440px or anything. This graphic is place on the left because the PNWMAS logo is the constant and the attraction. If we had a fixed width site like I described before, we could make the graphic the exact size we want and place fancy graphics on both sides. Hope this helps, a little. Rob answer me this: how is the image on the left side "floating" in the banner' date=' and you are not able to do the same on the right?[/quote'] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Allen Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 The logo is what it is. It is a little fuzzy being that small, but hopefully that once the people are at the site, they know it is .org (laugh) Hey Rob' date=' just a note the ".org" is kinda hard to see in the logo on the banner.
