Im not to experienced in GFX. Well, not at all tbh, but i heard that you could make an animated banner, in which every new slide links to a different place.

If such a thing is possible, i urge you to PM me.

  • [Name: Sirs B Mark
  • Budget: Will be discussed if anyone is interested. Also depends on the quality
  • Details: I need one banner, which will have different slides, with each slide having a different link to a different website.
  • Requirements: The person that I am looking for MUST have experience in this field. The person can start work immediately once I pass him the details and links. I send money through paypal or moneybookers only
  • Deadline: No deadline. Just make sure it doesnt take like 2 years Smile
Interested parties, please leave me a reply to this thread or PM me.
I'm curious about what exactly this banner will be like. Will it only show one website at a time? Say, a full banner that links to one site, and then another banner slides over it and links to another?

I've never done something like that, but it sounds really easy. I'm not too experienced with graphics, but I'm sure I can easily code one for you. Do you already have graphics to use for it or are you looking for someone to create graphics for each slide as well?

I have one slide ready, all the other ones id like designed seperately, as no banners, apart from the bux.to banner, look proffesional enough Smile

Oh, oops. This is the graphics design forum. Hehehe, I wasn't looking.

I googled bux.to banner to see what your banner was like, if that's the ones you're talking about as the one you already have. I don't know how well I'd do making one of those, but I can code them to slide over each other and link to different sites.

What other sites will the other banners be for?

I understand if you wouldn't want my services, since I'm more about coding than graphics. Maybe I could play around in The Gimp and try to make one, or perhaps me or you could find someone to split the job between the graphics end and the coding end.
dont take it the wrong way but id prefer a good GFX person here.

But i have another project in mind which i need a good coder for. Unfortunatly i dont have enough money to pay for it
It's no problem at all. I do wish you the best of luck on getting this banner done.

Perhaps I, or someone else who needs the practice, can code your banner to slide for you for free. I already have a dhtml idea on how to do it.

Cheers Amaroq.

If you want some practice coding, ive got a pretty cool project inmind Tongue

PM me

In my opinion, the easiest way to do this would be using flash.

The only alternative I can think of using using Javascript timers and animated gifs. The gifs would start and end by fading out/in, then the src attribute of the image tag would be swapped out for a new banner.

I could help you guys out if you want. Smile

Hehehe, I know no flash.
I once saw another similar thing someone wanted and I'm surprised nobody thought of it this way:

Use CSS and Javascript to modify the CSS!

Use identically sized images, and position them in the same place. Control which one is on top with z-indexing. Modify their CSS'ed positioning with the javascript.

Contain them in a div with a set size and overflow set to hidden if you want the new one to slide atop the old one from where the side of the old one is without being visible until it starts to cover the old one.

EDIT: Your idea to change the src is a good one though. That could be used in tandem with my idea so that every image doesn't have to be loaded at once. Although if you don't want the browser to have to reload the image every time, you'd have to cache it anyway. So either method works.
z-index is a good idea for a small amount of ads. A combination of that and altering SRC really would be a good plan. I'm not very familiar with CSS, can you set the transparecny of an image?

If not than the gifs could just fade out to transparent when the banner is over and then a new one could fade in.

-Bander
I believe you can set transparency with CSS. The way IE handles it though, anything within a transparent parent becomes transparent too. But that should be okay for the images.

I think he wanted them to slide, perhaps in from the side? If so, you could just pre-position the one you're about to slide in, outside of the border of the overflow hidden div we might use to hold it. Then make sure it's z-index is higher and slide it on in.
it should be something like document.getElementById('1').style.z-index=value right?
Lol, all this Programmer Chat Tongue

Just tell me how much this might cost and if anyones willing to do it Smile
it shouldn't cost a lot if you want a fader with new banners coming out... I won't give a comment on how much though, don't want to spoil anything.
Haha, it looks like only programmers have responded so far. Kinda hard to get the job done without graphics to even use in the codestuffs.

I'll pass this site around to a few communities I'm part of. That'll be likely to get some artists coming in.
