Haha, I knew what it would be before I even clicked. Absolute classic of an image.
Maybe leave the bad teeth out.
I'll be seeing this banner every day, I don't want to feel like I'm hanging out in a kentucky hick bar.
Or sausage fingers?
There's definitely various tea options.
Lol I love this, until we get a banner which is more "maximalist" which encompasses all aspects of the UK, gonna use this one for the banner!
Some more, of varying seriousness:
Maybe it needs to go one way or the other: Classy landscape (Constable, etc.), or just plain silly.
Everything is now locked behind a login (well done Tumblr) but this started with the Stephen Fry image and then there was a relay pasting on other British things. It ended up something like this. It looks terrible but you could take inspiration from that and go for a maximalist approach and Photoshop all sorts of British things together - open the floor for people to suggest and item for inclusion so everyone feels like they've contributed to it.
If we had someone around who was more competent at Photoshop, you could do a banner inspired by the Sgt Pepper cover.
One advantage of having lots of stuff in is, if it gets trimmed you aren't losing any vital element (why text would be a bad idea).
If you wanted something minimalist then Turner's Rain, Steam and Speed might be appropriate.
That sounds like a good thought, maximalist. Or, as you said, full minimalist.
I will probably have a crack at it, as I'm not too bad with layers. But I'm hoping there is someone ready to "graphic design is my passion" things up in here.
Exactly, I can do most Photoshoppery that would at least look slightly more presentable than the Tumblr effort but someone who knows what they were doing could create something that actually looked nice.
The same goes if anyone can draw - I imagine there's a need for a few icons around or banners if you were feeling fancy.
No-one is throwing up.
Honestly perfect.
