Title: HAF fb page and timeline
Post by: Whitney on March 07, 2012, 02:04:23 AM
The new timeline for business changes are making it so that every page has to come up with a cover photo (I'm going through the 10 or so pages I help admin and trying to fix them up...fun times)

I figure the cover photo is a great opportunity for members to showcase whatever they want (provided that it complies with HAF rules :) )

So, if you have something you want to display on the top of the HAF fb page then let me know; credit will be given in the about section that shows below the photo...also feel free to photoshop your name or whatever onto the photo.

We'll switch them out regularly (if I forget, remind me).

It would be best if you can make the image the correct size  851 px wide by 315px tall...but the top and bottom can be cropped off when uploading to facebook.

For reference:  http://facebookcoversize.com/

Oh, make your submissions by posting them to the wall of the HAF fb page https://www.facebook.com/HappyAtheist   I think it allows big images.

What if the photoshop competent people put together a collage of the user icons? then every once in a while, we could update it for the newbs?

I don't do face book, I've done the collage thing though, haven't done an Easter one yet.
The supper, the last one, if someone does this I will be more than disappointed if I'm not at the table.  I did say at it, not on it!

I'd like you to get rid of the white background behind me, I think ditching the background for most is good but particularly if it's white.  The Haf fish, it's not working yet, I'm not sure how (maybe black and blur and bevel it) but burnt into the wood would be nice.

That's an itch, it's better but it's never quite right.
It wasn't a specific poke, more a philosophical never quite right thing.  :)

I don't quite like how the haf fish turned out. I've been tweaking it a little here and there.

Ye well I think it's OK, Recusant seems to be asking to be blended into the background somehow, he is the colour of the wood and he is this ancient wisdom guy.

You can tell me to shut up and I'll only dislike you a little bit.

Nah, I like your ideas. The one with Recusant looked really cool.

Hmm. I took off all of the icons and just left the piece of wood with the HAF fish burned into it, and it actually looks really cool. So then I got to thinking, what if we just had the HAF logo, then the icons of the mods and admin. I'll have to try that.

Alright, photoshop decided to be a dick and crash on me last night, so I don't have the finished file which sucks, but I played around with only using the mod/admin user icons and I have to say, I like it. It seems less cluttered and I also tweaked the HAF fish so it looked more "burned."

I also would just like it with the fish burnt on the wood by itself....just the admins/mods seems kinda overloardish? :)

The fish is loosing a leg in a gap/crack at the moment.
Probably should be a god in one of those gaps.  ;)

Fish is good, but His Asmoness' disapproving gaze should not be directed at Pudding.

Start the bidding!
A piece of the true cross could be yours.
Stamped with the HAF brand so you can be sure of authenticity.
