"Light On" Promotional Graphics
*Bumped this to add a new banner that links directly to iTunes*
I make these type of graphics for some other bands I work for, so I figured why not make some for David too. I didn't see any posted on the site yet.
If you like these, feel free to use any of these as your signature on this board or other message boards to help promote the single! One thing to note, this forum tends to like the longer banners, so I would recommend using one of the first to as your signature for DCO. The others are good for MySpace and other message boards. 
IMPORTANT: To use the coding posted below each banner, change all of the [ ] to < >.
Today is the day to really promote, promote, promote! I updated one of the banners to link directly to iTunes!

Added 2 new animated banners! (okay, so this board doesn't always seem to like the animations, so if they are all screwy...sorry!)

Okay, back to my real job...
Oh, if anyone else has made similar stuff, why don't we all use this thread to share our goodies?
Comments for this Forum Topic
aaaaah, I can see that now. I hope they fix the boards a bit soon on how they expand and such so that it will work properly, I really like it.

Holymist - yeah, that is something the board here is causing. I think the file size on that banner is just a bit too big for these boards to handle correctly so the animation gets a bit funky. When you post that one outside of here, on MySpace or elsewhere, it works fine. That's what happens when I try to get fancy with my animation program I guess, haha!

I love the sigs, although I do have a word about your 3rd one.. when the line that comes in from the back saying "debute album 11/18" and such...
It kinda bounces when it comes to the front.. I'm not sure if you wanted it to do that or if you were manualing making the graphic do that... It kinda irritates the eye ... But other than that I think your sig's completely rock!
I smile everytime I see someone using one of your light on banners.

Thanks y'all. I love making these so I am happy to see people using them.
As a fanbase we can really help spread the word to people who maybe aren't on the site here yet about the single release!

~ Deana
Thank you!!! I love your banners! I added one.
--
Beautiful- these are exactly what should have been all over the Home Page here days ago.
Maybe the webnerds overslept?

... just an opinion!

Promote "Light On" around the Web!
Thanks guys, I am glad y'all are getting some use out of these. emptyfaces - I like the one you posted as well! I had a few ideas for more banners and may use my animation program to make a few more this weekend. If I do, I will post them!
James_Padfoot - I guess I may be in the minority but I actually love that pic of David. I think it is because his eyes just POP right off the comptuter screen. I dunno...the man can't seem to take a bad picture, haha.

Promote "Light On" around the Web!
Great job and good idea, but mygod there is something so inherently wrong with that picture that I end up laughing everytime I see it. David is so photogenic and naturally beautiful, and that picture reeks of photoshop airbrushing.
I've seen better pictures taken by the barricades! He is so beautiful, and this picture just does not do him justice. *hugs bb*
But great idea on getting this out all over the place.

"We really need to promote 9/30! We need people to know that it's being released to get the great first week sales!"
Exactly empty_faces! Get the word out outside of DCO about the single. Myspace, facebook, blogger, email signatures, wherever...spread the word!

~ Deana
Thank you so much!

Great banners!! I put one on my myspace!
I loved your work!
I'll use this to help promote David Cook's single in my websites!
thanks....
- happiness isn't something you experienced...it is something you remembered. -
I totally luff you. That's what I was waitin' for -- the longer banners, 'cuz that wrapping drives me absolutely nutso (well, OK, more nutso than usual).
--
Okay, since these forums seem to like longer banners, I added a new one to the original post. I will probably edit a few of the others to make them longer tomorrow. When the banners are too small it causes the forum to wrap around the images funny...argh!

~ Deana
come on Little Mandy put yours up!!

~JCM
