    I'd hate to think that the current one WASN'T made by me??

    Although both were 'conceived' by the community as one, both pieces still resemble my concepts etc.

    That a Primus logo I see on Davey's jumper?

    Verrrry true! I wanted to ensure we had our current sponsors up there to promote the way forward etc. Another picture of Davey is NEEDED. PLEASE!

    Looking good. Out of curiosity, what was the effect you used on Frawley in the original version? It was like a slight glow...

    Correct. It makes the individuals look more appealing. I did the effect to all players (including Jimmy).

    I duplicated each image of the players and Jimmy -> on the duplicated images I made it a slight blur and put it UNDER the original layer -> on the original layer I made the blending mode "overlay". And then you can tinker with the lightness in case it looks too dark/light.

    Hey we get the emblem now...and a new Demonland Font. Like it.

    Makes me feel even closer to the club with that emblem on it. B)

    LOOOOOVE the idea of wrapping the ribbon around the red V!!!!! Nice touch.

    That font has to change though. PLEASE!!! Too bland - needs an outline at least!!

    HOW MANY MORE CHANGES TO MY BANNER???? :/

    At least let me redo the "Demonland" text please, Demonland (the mod)??

    I think the new logo looks great.

    The red Demonland font sits well with player jumpers.

    Jim's cap is enough white. The choice of players is good - fits with the 7 who polled the most votes.

    I think a logo featuring our full list (plus rookies and coaches) would be over the top, not to mention 8-screens wide!

    The part on the left looks very good.

    There are probably better pictures going around but maybe a semi-regular update when those perfect pictures are found.

    Other than that - it looks great.

    Yeah. That's my major complaint with the overhaul. I love the emblem and the Demonland font, with the ribbon wrapped around the "V," but the pictures don't mesh that well with each other. Grimesy's looking at Brad Green like he's not too impressed, Jurrah looks like he's just seen a ghost, and Tom Scully looks like a five-year old about to take a dump. But other than that, the pictures are great.

    Computer Graphics 101

    The resolution of images is measured in pixels per inch (ppi). Most personal computer displays have resolutions that vary from 72 to 96 ppi.. Usually the former.

    So if you take a pic with your camera set at 300ppi there is no point posting it on the web with that resolution as it won't be viewed at 300ppi (making sense?).

    You would do this however, if someone wanted to print the pic as 72ppi is not suitable.

    But the higher the resolution the greater the load time.

    The player images used on the banner were taken from the web and were 72ppi.

    You can use Photoshop to increase the resolution to 300ppi for example but it is usually not advisable for images containing important sharp detail (faces, contrasting shapes, clean lines) as it will produce noticeable pixel edges and fuzzy tones in certain areas.

    When designing banners and the like you work with images that have the greatest ppi you can If we use high res, we can manipulate that, then save it as 72 dpi and it will be clear on the screen. With high res you can always reduce but you can't always blow up a low res.

    So unless a Dlander can provide us with hires images from their personal collection, we are not going get a 'better' banner.

    As far as the choice of pics, there were only two of LJ that were suitable.

    As a 'panel member' working on the banner I chose the second as I didn't like the 'bunched jumper'. A home jumper was overlaid at the suggestion of another panel member (this was a very democratic project!).

    The outstretched arms had to be cropped.

    As far as the pics of Scull and Greeny, most pics on the 'net showed them with their mouth open or tongue out.

    There were many other issues involved in the choice of image – pics with the pink jumper, pics with strange skin tones etc

    End of lesson. You've all done very well.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
