tamer Posted November 13, 2006 Author Share Posted November 13, 2006 create it yourself Fair enough but i take it i would then need a designer programme? it's not something i could just create using notepad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspnetguy Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 yes you need a program to do this. It could be as simple as using MS Paint or you could also get somethign more advanced like Adobe Photoshop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steffalynn Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I had the same problem when I first started making pages. Now I use www.istockphoto.com . . . it's $1 for images that you won't have to edit and they're royalty free, so after you pay the $1, you're all set.I use them for a commercial website, and if you're doing the same, I'd advise checking with them to make sure that if it's okay to use for a non-personal site, or look at the terms and conditions. I know we did back in the day . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holmedwa04 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Otherwise you can just contact the author of the website and ask them if you could use their picture, as long as you are nice to them then gennerally they will be nice back to you and most people out there are generous.Anyway, believe it or not, I used Microsoft Word to create the little spinning logo on my website. I first of all realised that you can set a circle to fade from one colour to transparent instead of white or another colour, and so i started to play around with it changing the orders and things. I then realised that I could make it look like it had been spun, so I made them into a cross shape with the middle bit and then I decide to off set some of them giving it the effect of movement. Once I had made the picture I wanted I selected all of the parts and this is where Paint Shop Pro or Even MS Paint comes in and copied them, when I got to Paint Shop Pro it promted me to choose the size, so I made it absolutely huge so that the quality was brilliant. I then saved ti and wen't to Animation Shop 3, made a frame that was sightly bigger than the picture inserted it into the middle, set the background to transparent and spun it clockwise by 10 degrees every frame. For 18 frames that is, because when it gets half way it goes back to the beginning to save space. I saved it and then inserted it.I realised at this time that the image was quite big and so I experimented with the size of it and the rotation between the frames, I tried 20 degrees instead, but this looked bad, and so I stuck with the one that I have got.So it reall is as simple as that, I am not sure but there is most probably some sort of free animation software around. In fact I am sure of it because I stumbled accross some once but I can't remember the link otherwise I would have posted it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
