Hi all,
Consuelo suggested it would be good if we could have a corner for fan art - you know, banners, icons, manips, whatever. Well, we are all creative bods here so I thought I might try it out on a small scale - ie not make an actual forum for it unless it gets huge and unmanageable.
It's an experiment. Things will disappear if they're:
not entirely TJ-oriented, either portraits of him or images of him from his work.
unsuitable for all members to view - you know what I mean - given the massive age range TJ seems to impassion.
inconsiderate; certain types of images aren't very comfortable to view, maybe they flash very quickly or something. As a sufferer from very mild epilepsy I know these can be difficult for people with certain sensitivities.
Other than that...knock yourselves out! [/color]

Angela: Well, what about love? What do you have to say about love?
Hodgins: It´s overrated-most of the time Dexter: They make it look so easy-connecting with another human being. It's like no one told them it's the hardest thing in the world.

They are just beautiful, Mama. And you know Consuelo?
Another thread in this forum is currently celebrating the return to normal functioning of http://www.odd-enthusiasm.org If you go over there you'll see that Shona has affiliated us, but that we don't have a banner or an icon at the moment.
I was wondering whether any of you talented ladies could pop over, see the kind of thing she needs and design or produce one for tjthyne.com?
Just a thought.

Steph, no offense to any of the art work here, because it is all fabulous, but if someone is going to have a banner for this site then it'd be best if it reflected the current look/feel of this site. Seeing how it is his official site, it shouldn't be just some random banner anyone sends to someone to use to link to us, you know what I mean? Not saying that the people here couldn't do it, because I'm sure there are many of them that could-I just think it is best to keep some consistancy as far as the image of this site even when linked from other places.

Ah, good point. That'll teach me to go plunging in without thinking. It was only when I visited OE for the first time in a long while that I remembered we'd never sent Shona anything, and I happened to be on this forum at the time. And in my keenness to get other people involved I didn't think, sorry.
If this had occurred to me before I'd have got you to do it, since you have created the feel of our present layout. How would you feel about doing something? Don't want to add to your burden, but!

Steph, no problem, I know you were just thinking we need something better over there and people here could do it.
I have contacted Shona and asked for the sizes of the banners she uses, both the little one on the homepage and the one on the links page. Basically I wouldn't have to do a new thing, in order to keep it consistent, it'd just be a smaller version of the header! At least that is what I think would be best. Look the same, instant recognition. And better that they know that anything that comes from anyone other than me or you or Rebecca shouldn't be considered anything coming from the official site for TJ and shouldn't be linked with it.

Thanx for the coments about my previous fanart
I also wanted to add, about what you said earlier, that if you ever need a new design or anything else it would be my pleasure ! I've actually done a lot, if you're interested in seeing my work on other actors/tv shows let me know
I do need to clear up something though, because I think there has been some confusion about the site because I was asked about changing the design of the site somewhere else. We won't be changing the site design any time soon, we've only had this one since November and I think it works pretty well for us for the time being. But thank you everyone for offering!
