Hello everyone! We're starting a norwegian/nordic/scandinavia (we will only focus on this region atm, and then expand if it gets really popular) league/ladder/tournament website, and we've written the whole system mechanics for the site now. So far, compared to all the others league systems out there, we think we got the best system for the users, and it's fully automatic using through HoN's xlm parsing.
Now that we are really satisfied with the mechanics of the site, and we are sure you guys would prefer the mechanics over the other league sites out there, we really lack one thing before putting the website live. We need a really nice and epic background for the site.
We really fancy http://www.gamereplays.org/heroesofnewerth/ this background img. It's classy and got that typical fanart look over it. We don't want it to be exactly the same, but we think it could be a nice inspiration. After all, we don't want to copy gamereplay, but we think they've done an excellent job on the background img.
Now, with that said, we are not really designers, and we need help for this one. And I know there's alot of super creative souls out there, now that I've looked through the forum and seen all the wallpapers and signatures! If we get many replies and many bakground images, we will pick the one that we think is best (ofc, doh), and the one who "wins" will get their name on our website, which we believe will be very popular after the release.
Aye, I forgot the mention the dimensions. The picture must be atleast 1680 pixels wide. It can be smaller, but then it must fade out to a color so it looks like the picture fades in with the background colors. When it comes to colors, we don't have any particular colors picked yet. Though, we feel it needs to be kind of dark and mat. Not a pink, light red, light blue or light green. Use colors if u want, but they need to be kinda dark! :-)
When it comes to images to use in the background, we don't have any. Feel free to use the fanart heroes, or images released in the fanpack made by s2games. We want the format to be in *.jpg or even *.png, it really depends if the images fades into transparent or not.
I will edit this post as soon as the beta of the site is up, pasting the URL so you can see for yourself. Happy designing! :-)
Feel free to PM me with any questions you may have, I will answer them ASAP!
