I guess you could call this a ‘challenge’…. I’m redoing my Sims blog, and I really want a banner to put in the header that uses pics of my actual simmies.  Trouble is… I generally suck doing anything fancier than cropping and adding test.  Anything prettier (collaging more than one image, for example) really is not my strong point.

So… I was hoping I could open this up as a call for help.

Here’s my new layout… http://sims2.meadow-bee.com/blog/ As you can see… it’s a clean layout, but boring.

I’d like a banner (no wider than 1000px, and between 150 – 300px high) to put where the title and search bar are.  I may or may not use is as a background for that section.  Not sure yet.

(You might also notice… I changed my site title.  The formatting puts it in all caps, but in my mind its written as ‘SIMulated Storytelling’.)

Anyway… pictures… the Sims 2 folder of my photobucket here: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v256/meadowbee/Sims2/.  Pretty much any Sims 2 pic I’ve ever taken is in this folder, so its a bit old.

Folders for the Stories you all know best (Joe, the Katies, the Megahood) are here

(I wouldn’t wander around in Bluewater too much, or you’ll spoil yourself for upcoming updates.)

Those are just “suggestions” though… you can use any pictures that leap out at you.

Anyway… I think that’s it.
