| Image competition |
I would like to launch a competition for BandAMP's frontpage pics.
We have the drawn guitarist with the amp-head in the left top corner of the site. He's well advanced in years and I think he must be renewed.
You may have noticed that sometimes the topic of this image had changed in depence of some public events like Easter, Xmas, some special days and so on.
Now I want to call you up to refresh the site with your paintings.
There is nothing to win but also nothing to lose. So if you can find the time to be creative and you want to beautify BandAMP's frontpage, your work will be a part of our wonderful community and will be shown in a slideshow at the top of our webpage.
So paint your pics and your ideas and send them to me by email to nb (at) koch-carsten.de. You can also upload your pic into your personal album in your "My Home" album section and send me a PM with the link of the picture, which will be created after you have uploaded the file.
Oh before I let you go... we have to comply with following formats:
it must be in a jpg format, 200x200 pixels

That is a good question... I changed the picture. Let's see how long it takes until someone notices that something has changed.

What do you have in mind for the new "logo"? A drawing, foto, modified reality or an abstract design?
Woah I noticed!!! 
Maybe I can come up with something..though I'm not very good

But I count on you and your creativity.
It can also be a collage of pictures or photographs
I came back just to remind you that our mascot logo must be renewed.
Anyone?
Folks, where is your creativity?

I've just had a meditative stare at this and ... I denno ... I cant think of anything that would 'be new and fresh' and 'keep the theme' .
It would be nice to rearrange the front page maybe ... ? So a different image would fit differently on the page.
I still like my idea for an album page : www.kingsonone.com/bandAmp/images/bandAmp_AlbumPage.jpg
It's big ....

Yes you're absolutely right. I started to give the site a new look. Remember the background image idea? I must follow my own rules to finish what I've once began.
The album idea is great. We should rename the picture album to picture gallery first and then....
The next (my) idea is to put an image slideshow of the specimen's picture gallery... maybe eventually with audio player playing one song after another randomly while you visit the frontpage. (I must exceed my limits of programming...)
you mean 'no-scroll' by that?
Huiiiii! That´s a beautiful background, colourful, but not "hectically" (when the pic doesn´t move by scrolling). Statical pic is better, as Kings said.Well... this picture is just a placeholder for testing. It's 228kb... way too big! And it repeats in both directions.
The goal is to change the bg pic randomly with pictures by members who are actually declared as Specimen. The size must be less than 100kb to reduce load time but good enough to spread its width to the browsers screen width w/o pixel blur.
One first step was to extend the member's album by adding a background button. At the moment it has no function except it stores some 0 and 1 into the database.

Ha! As I'm surfing the site , it's changing !
Fixed is better ... in this case ... though it repeats it's not an image that blends into it's self.
The black edge along both sides of a page is a repeated (y) image to create shade, a subtle depth, to the white page on black back.
A transparent png with a slight shade would work here now.

I like the black back and logo
Is this a stretched image ?
It looks cool in full wide screen, it would look nicer without the page edging
O yea a short page, as in a quote, looks odd in full screen ... the page has no bottom!
Nice one TK ... as they say 'A change is as good as a rest' .... I think bandamp has rested enough

Can you post or email some screenshots?
The background is darkgrey and it should be stretched to 100%. Also
I know that there are some weired issues with IE8, but FF looks fine.
I made a new one based on a layered gimp pic. At the moment the edges are transparent. But it's quite easy to replace the two transparent layers (left & right) with a suitable shadow gradient.
I found out that IE6,7,8 are not able to understand the 'background-size=cover' tag. That's why the big player button on the frontpage is too big for the welcome div.
But I found a js to let it flow.

I LOVE the new look! In fact, I think the big player button in IE Is maybe a bit more interesting than the version that shows up in Firefox or Chrome (it creates a sense of depth and layers which I think is more interesting - the text may be a little bit tricky to read over the big button...). Incidentally, I notice that in Chrome neither the blue lightening nor the "Bandamp" logo on the left show up. Everything seems to work okay in Firefox.
IE8 (and 6&7) doesnt know the 'background-size' tag. That's why the player button is big like that. I don't use Chrome, so pls check if you configured your browser with proper display options. Opera has a turbo option for slow networks, it blocks some pics in that mode
