Two banners to commemorate the guy that asked how to not poop for 3 days

[โ€“] Cloak@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh my god I love them. Will set one as a banner soon. Are these AI, out of curiosity?

[โ€“] Hypnotized@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yep, these were made with Midjourney AI. I just slapped the text on with my phone editing app so if you want a version without text let me know.

[โ€“] Double_A@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How even? Is it a paid midjourney service? All the online stuff I tried only produced garbage.

[โ€“] Hypnotized@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'm not sure they offer the free service anymore but I think I paid $80 for a year or something with their basic plan running through discord. I have had a lot of fun with it.

Made some banners for a woodworking community that came out pretty fun too https://lemm.ee/post/449896

What if we made the mouse's nose red and used it as the dot of the question mark?

[โ€“] Double_A@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I also had that idea at first, but it was quite difficult to not make it look gimmicky. This is the result: https://i.postimg.cc/yYsbzMWp/asklemmy-logo2.png

That looks perfect if you ask me.

Any guidelines? AI allowed? Size requirements?

I'm probably not gonna make one but asking so other ppl have the info.

[โ€“] Cloak@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Have not conversed with the rest of the team, but, personally, I'm not opposed persay to AI, but would certainly put much higher value on hand made banners โ€“ I feel like AI lacks creativity, style? If that makes sense, but also If someone can make a decent banner with it I'm not opposed. Size wise, I'd probably shoot for something like 1000x500, though of I can downscale stuff as needed. 2:1-3:2 ~ish~, other communities have banners to see (two ones I've quickly found is !green@lemmy.ml and !mechanicalkeyboards@lemmy.ml)

How would they even exclude AI?

There's no way to detect if art is AI other than guesswork/inference/hands.

[โ€“] 14specks@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah I'd say it's fine to submit even if it's obviously AI. Ideally a couple of options will get posted and we can see where the upvotes fall (may not happen, idk). Could be something good/cool/silly/ironic whatever the community wants the brand to be.

From looking a bit around 2000x1000 for the banner and 500x500 for the logo seems reasonable.
