Wow, thanks so much for the opportunity and for letting everyone know about this new feature! It took trying quite a few images at many different sizes, but I finally ended up with this one of me on a hammock by some bull moose...seems to represent my @colorado-girl wild life well enough.

That's awesome, you're awesome @ausbitbank!! I was just sharing for fun...And my motto when I go bowling: Aim for the gutter and you're never disappointed 😆 If you ever think of some creative graphics you need, I'm glad to help. Thanks for making Steemit fun, STEEM ON!! 🔥🚀

finnian (58) · 7 years ago

Well done! I need to pay you to make one for me. haha I'd swear Steemit was made for you, @grow-pro. You're a creator, skilled graphic artist, a great writer, and you have quality content a lot of people are interested in learning more about. Remember me when you're a whale, uhmkay? LOL

creativesoul (59) · 7 years ago

The sizing was difficult...a lot of people that I have seen used 1920 x 700 - but I found this too pixelated and 'zoomed in'. The larger the image the more that it can center and spreads out better visually. 2500 x 1200 achieved the look that I was going for on desktop. <3

but, what about the mobile phone, How did it render?

have you seen it?

$0.00

creativesoul (59) · 7 years ago (edited)

On mobile phone...portrait...it shows up black in the middle and first two rows of pink...and the whole banner in landscape...just the black space is smaller and words run over into the rainbow. I can live with that. I tried putting my blog feed into a few of those online responsive design testers but it just shows up blank. Probably a good reason for that. I can check your layout on mobile if you want though. <3

spaingaroo (53) · 7 years ago

I test it my scrinching up the window on the computer.
If you make chrome tall and narrow, it gives you a mobile-like view

I really wanted to do a tree, is that over? I can't remember how long you were holding that open?

$0.00

creativesoul (59) · 7 years ago (edited)

Scrinching the screen up does not produce exactly the same result. Even if the website does not have a mobile version the coding usually compacts the content differently. The tree contest deadline is still near the top of my blog - and it ends this sunday.

To be creative takes time. Maybe I'll try this one day.
In the meant time I just copy-paste one link of my past posts ( with macro shots), and seems it may be good for me for a while. Sometimes simple things work better than expected, and "temporary" things stay forever.

This is like my sixteenth cover image since yesterday, lol.

It took a long time to find an image that had the right combinations of readability and impact, and in the end I have gone dark.

I don't use other devices so I had to fake it.

Hi Ausbitbank! Here's mine! As you can see, I'm obsessed with Alpacas! It's my dream to have an alpaca farm so having that cover is an amazing way to keep my dream in front of me all the time. I put a brown rectangle and adjusted opacity so the words wouldn't be washed out with the background but the alpacas could still be seen.
