The retrobrite one is brilliant. Works so well.

webwit · 14 Nov 2014, 00:04

Funky! I like the CMYK one too.

Prelim · 14 Nov 2014, 00:39

I don't have any more photos for the CMYK, I also like that one... the color match is almost perfect, anyone who tries to take CMY photos knows it's really hard to capture that

webwit · 14 Nov 2014, 00:42

Daylight might not improve it, the background will turn more bright while dark backgrounds work better.

The art of good banners is complex indeed. I never know quite what to expect until I post a few in this thread and try them out. (Click on any appropriate graphic in this thread, and you can preview it, up top.)

The CMYK would be nice if there was not this harsh lightning, and it looks a little bit warped - or somehow stretched.

Prelim · 14 Nov 2014, 12:21

nop, it's from original photo unstretched:

Muirium · 14 Nov 2014, 12:24

Just add nice, soft, natural lighting! Then leave some desk at the left of the image for the DT logo in the crop and you should be good.

I like the 2nd and last mx green

Halvar · 14 Nov 2014, 13:30

I'm afraid flash is a no-go for Apple and photo nerds alike. An Mu, of course, might be both.

Ditto here too. I'll get them in circulation when I'm at my desk.

We do need a good M0110 shot though. I must shoot mine when the sun next emerges here in Noordor. Is that keyboard yours, Matt?

matt3o · 14 Nov 2014, 14:25

it is mine and modded

Muirium · 14 Nov 2014, 14:48

Lowpoly style?

look closer, you'll find my report as well

Muirium · 14 Nov 2014, 15:07

Oh yeah, I remember that. Thought you'd sold it since. I got mine from Snoopy when he had two for sale and you were already after a replacement!

As ماء asked for it, here's some crops. Most or all of these will not likely work, but I gotta try them somewhere…

Hmm, the first three aren't too bad actually. I'll redo the last one to see if I can cram in that six colour Apple some-whichway.

There you go!

Received it a couple of days ago, in the wrong box but in great condition!
Hopefully I will post pics soon!

Prelim · 14 Nov 2014, 16:42

finally a sunny afternoon in Portugal.

Muirium · 14 Nov 2014, 16:44

So much better!

Which one of my crops looks best to you folk? I'm thinking of opening up Photoshop for a better shot at both Mac and HHKB logos in view, while leaving DT's readable in front.

Chzel's M0110 has a while to earn itself a banner quite yet! Like maybe coming out the box…

thanks @Mu

from your pics, I vote the last one!

finally a sunny afternoon in Portugal.

That looks really nice! Great choice for the background too

matt3o · 14 Nov 2014, 17:29

@muir, I believe the best if the 4th shot

Prelim · 14 Nov 2014, 18:11

@Muirium just updated a new one, less zoomed to better capture Ctrl+Alt caps

Muirium · 14 Nov 2014, 18:18

Okay, but you only get ONE! I'll swap it out later, once I've gotten the crop of my own picture sorted out.

Prelim · 14 Nov 2014, 18:20

sure! just want to share the better one

Muirium · 15 Nov 2014, 01:45

Done. And allllmost done…

Yes, the secret of all good photography is: more photography! The same goes for edits. I hope. And now some rotation.

It's nae good. She cannae take it, captain! I'm going to need to find some more pictures to do any better. Anyway, I'll pick something…

ماء · 15 Nov 2014, 10:58

Seems interesting!
