[Discussion] Let's create a banner for sh.itjust.works!
The two obvious themes in my mind are gears/some sort of complex machine, or computer hardware/circuits.
As an avid Lain Iwakura enjoyer, I added that screenshot because it's awesome and I think it'd be an extremely cool banner, but there are probably much cleaner designs out there that would be more welcoming to new users. I'm sure you guys will be able to come up with some in short order.
You can look on lemmyverse.net to get a quick overview of some other instance banners.
I really don’t know how the formatting and proportions are supposed to work but I will edit that in as soon as someone clarifies.
Lemmy.world looks like this
This discussion will run for at least a week, and then we can take the most upvoted submissions in this thread and put them up for an official vote.
OK, so here are a few suggestions from me as a member of the imageai community:
Lemming working on computer 1
Lemming working on computer 2
Happy tech sealLove the first one
Agreed, first one has my vote.
The top one is my favorite but they're all super good. Nice work
Not their work though, it was a collection of random artists work conglomerated by an ai which they then prompted until they got these.
Would you congratulate someone who commissioned art from an artist for their work while arguing it to be theirs? No, it might be theirs since they paid for it, but it's not their work, even if they described and revised it. Here, no payment or agreement was made. This is just theft.
Any chance you could make a few more with a prompt like "Satisfied seal working on computer"? As the satisfied seal is our logo, would make sense to work it into the banner too.
I’ll give it a try, but seals in Midjourney aren’t as… pliable as lemmings, if that makes sense. They can’t really work with their flippers and are more closely associated with certain styles that the AI insists on inserting.
I’m going to have to be strict with it. I’ll post new seal based ones if I’m satisfied with the results.
I love number one for the disorganization
I like #2 myself, he looks happier, and cuter. #1 looks a little sad.
#1 is doing all the actual work. #2 is his manager.
All three are good, but I really like the top one as well. I just wish it was a seal
So, by popular request, I've added a second batch of seal-based images. These were a lot harder to make, the AI kept insisting on water and blue backgrounds. So in the end, I just went with the flow and tried to make it work in my advantage.
1: Seal 1 not quite believing what he's reading
2: Seal 2 in his cozy cave
3: Very pleased seal
4: Mrs. Seal, looking fabulous
How I feel after spending hours on these seal images :)Its got to be at least one of these
These are top notch, well done. I'm having trouble picking a favorite
That brings back memories. Maybe I need to re-watch SE:Lain...again...
I just completed another rewatch a few weeks ago. The mood it evokes is something I just can't get enough of. Late 90s was a golden age for Anime, and Serial Experiments Lain stands alongside Cowboy Bebop and Evangelion in the pantheon, right at the pinnacle of the genre imo. I will admit it can be confusing, especially on first watch, but it has the philosphical and emotional depth to justify its inaccessibility.
It's a true favourite of mine as well, and has led me to want to read R.D. Laing's work with schizophrenia, as apparently it was highly influential in the creation of SE Lain.
I struggle to get through it on many watchings, but occasionally I make it to the end, it often feels like the ominous parts of an acid trip, haha
Out of curiosity, are you familiar with Lainchan? It's a rather slow Chan site, but very much captures the feel of Lain.
Let's love all love Lain.
Lain was one of those anime that when I was introducing it to someone there was a "no questions, only experience" policy in place.
And you don’t seem to understaaand~
The opening song is amazing but I still prefer the closing song. Ima link it.
Doesn't get any more badass than that.
I'm completely winging this, so I have no clue if this is formatted or sized right. Here is my contribution.
Looks good to me, thanks for contributing
I like it! It looks like a fancy movie studio logo.
A spanner and and key should be the logo I reckon
