Hello There,
I am a total computer novice and am trying my best to set up a support forum for people who suffer from a condition called 'Dissociation'.
I really need a banner for it but wouldn't be able to pay unfortunately. I have been looking at the work on here and it looks very professional so hope my request is okay??
Would anyone be able to help me please.
I need a rectangular banner which says DissociationUK
I wanted each letter in the word Dissociation to have several shadows of itself behind it. I did find some graphics online called 'ShadowAlphabet' but didn't have a clue what to do with them once I'd found them. Then I wanted the UK bit not to have any shadows. I thought maybe the DissociationUK could be in black with the shadows in grey on maybe a blue or a white background.
The other thought was maybe that DissociationUK could be in black with different coloured shadows behind the letters in Dissociation.
I don't even know if any of this is possible or whether I should be asking here or anything. I would be very very grateful if anyone could help. I would of course credit the artist on the forum and any linked web pages.
Thankyou for your time
Elaine

what size banner

You mean something like this dear?

now i got the size... the one you have is pretty good... let me throw a couple in too.

I don't think I can beat yours but just an attempt...

A quick attempt...



Could change anything if you like

Wow... Thankyou. I'm so pleased. I love the blue background in the first one. I think that is more what I wanted as I wanted there to be a few shadows behind each letter. But I think I just wanted the lettering a little bigger. The sizes on the three are great. The second one is great because there is plenty of space between the two dissociation words. On the third one I like the size of the lettering but wanted more formal lettering and colouring.
Wow... I'm not being picky. I love what you've all done. Thankyou so much for all of your time. Hope I haven't offended anyone. Decisions... decisions.

How about this one?



If you don't like the font face, suggest one from DaFont.

so are you expecting any changes or are you using one of these??

Is it honestly okay to ask for changes??
I wouldn't want to be too fussy. If I can then I'd say that the nearest to what I wanted is the last one done by webdesigngold. The colours and size is great except DissociationUK doesnt have a gap between Dissociation and UK. But the thing is that the one Ark did with the word Dissociation behind the word Dissociation is kind of how I wanted it laid out.... Would it be possible to have like a 'crowd' of Dissociation words in different colours all behind the black Dissociation and on the blue background. The shadows alphabet that I found on line didn't have the shadows directly joined on to the letters it was kind of like eg an A with a few A's at different angles behind it.
I have a feeling that I'm not describing this very well! Sorry.

Webdesigngold.... Thankyou for the font suggestions. I do like the one called 'Gara' if the letters were a little bigger... or anything kind of formally simple. Thankyou so much for your time all.
Laine

I see what you mean.. but it'll not look very well on words.. letters maybe, but words.. I can't get it to look good. Here's a link to those alphabets you are describing, am I right?

Then it's a serif type you want.. I found a similar font to Gara called Bambi. See if that's a suitable one.

Thanks webdesigngold. Bambi looks good. And I definitely see what you mean... about it not looking good in words. You're spot on with the alphabet that I had seen. Would it not look good with the shdows in grey and a lighter grey?
If I can't have that then I'm happy with how you have originally been doing my banner. Thankyou so much for your time.

hello

it's probably too late but i did this banner which will look good if you put a border round it in html.

it's attached below.
