Banners

This was a Halloween banner, in which I took a picture from the Doctor Who book, Forever Autumn. I turned the contrast up again, to help it blend into the black. I got a fire picture, actually from the Campfire trailer, and turned it black and white for more effect. The logo changed to black and white also, with the words in black and fading into blue as you go down. Then the words, which are also from the campfire trailer, for some effect for Halloween.

I redesigned most of the banner for this one! I was originally going to have another Sarah Jane one, this time for The Day Of The Clown, but somehow, I decided not to. I was looking at the screen caps for the Series 4 campfire trailer, when I realised that they all had black edges and looked great! So I put these on, and chose the Ood one, as it shows a true monster of Doctor Who. Something that definitely defines the Who world from the real one. I could easily have chosen a Dalek, but they are so common now! It was a sort of rounding up the end of Series 4. I thought the picture of the Doctor looked white sinister, as if the Doctor is getting darker, and it looks great! Behind the logo is the Tardis in the vortex, which I have used before in banners 10 and 11. I put the contrast up, so the dark bits went black to blend in, and changed the whole colour! While the rest of the banner is a red-orange, this stands out perfectly with a purple, bluey and green one. Plus, to fit in with the banner, and also to make it look good, I changed the colour of the logo to a red, instead of the blue. With the original lines around the edges of it, it did not look right, so I increased the size slightly of the outlines, which makes it stand out more and look even better!

I've now decided to start changing them every week, showing pictures of the latest episodes of The Sarah Jane Adventures. So, with the week of The Last Sontaran and the Day of the Clown, I had Maria to the left, as she is leaving and a clown, for the CBBC episode. I turned the contrast up on both pictures, which helped blend the clown picture onto the black, as it was brown before

It took me ages to do this banner, and it had a slightly different look to it than the others. This is the 2nd Sarah Jane Adventures banner, promoting the first episode of Series 2, The Last Sontaran. I took off the transparent Who logo this time, and just had it plain, plus I took off the Tardis from the background. I just wanted a nice, simple, colourful banner this time. Again, I had to find two pictures with dark edges, and eventually I did. There is the great one with Maria in, because beside the tree was dark, on the Sontaran I'd previously used in the last banner, but it's moved slightly. The same logo was used. I'd tried using words like 'Starts Monday, 4:35pm, BBC One', with the Sarah Jane Adventures logo, but it just looked messy!

(8th September 2008 - 27th September 2008)

I kept the same design from last banner, but turned it into the first Sarah Jane themed banner. I added a Sontaran picture, and a circus man picture, plus I put a version of the Sarah jane Adventures logo in the left-top corner. It was really difficult with this one to get the line where the pictures meet showing, as they're slightly different colours. That's where the transparent Who logo comes in handy...

(26th August 2008 - 7th September 2008)

I didn't do much to this from the last one, but made the grey large Who logo more transparent, so we could see more colour, took out the 'will return' bit, put the logo in the middle and added the Tardis in the Time Vortex behind it, to give it a bit more colour and to have a Tardis as well! Job done! I think this looks much better than the last one!

Now, I was trying to make a 'will return at Christmas' sort of banner, but because I can't use photoshop, had to try and be clever! The two pictures, of the Doctor and a Cyberman, both had black outlines, so that would work if I put a black rectangle behind it! Yes! But then I wanted to add an extra touch to it, so I took all the colour out of the Who logo, and turned it slightly transparent. Blow it up tremendously, and here we have it, plus the 'will return...' bit that I wanted. It sort of looked Christmassy, in a Cyberman sort of way too, as it was grey, and there were nice swirls and stuff. Look at the logos section to find out more on the new logo!

Yay, this is better! This is the first banner of the new design, which actually took me ages to make! This had pictures of all 13 (well, 12 for the picture) episodes of Series 4, as a look-back at the series. Half, actually, a third of the Who logo, and a new logo. The logo was instead this time in lower case, and had an ampersand instead of the and.

7.
Ah, that's better than the last one! Just used the Davros picture, added to my specially made logo (red and yellow) and here it is. The last banner of the old design! This lasted from the week Journey's End was on, to the new design.

6.
I'm not actually sure if even put this on, but oh well! You can see what it is!

5.
I just found a Red and Gold Daleks picture on the BBC website, and added a bluey-purple Doctor Who logo I made to the logo. This lasted the week The Stolen Earth was on.

4.
This was originally a picture from the cover of the Radio Time, but with the Series 4 Promo background added on, as well as the usual atts logo I had back then. This lasted the week Turn Left was on.

3.
I had this banner when Turn Left was on at the weekend, but I hated the 'ATTS' on the right and the 'Turn Left' thing. This was only kept for about a day!

2.
This is when I first worked out how to do a screen capture, but I put too much in the picture, and it looked a bit too crowded. This lasted for about half a month.

This was the first banner I did, where I just found a picture, and had the normal Blog Title Option. I could only do this because, at that time, I hadn't yet worked out how to do a screen capture. This lasted for about a month.
