There are other ways to do this as well. I can still do the old ways where you either do it from the top of your head or you place a pic behind a field of @'s or something and give the @'s the colour of the pixel/area of pixels behind it.

Herder Posts: 2,712 Group: Forum Admins Member #1 Joined: Nov 21, 2008	It used to be like that you know. It used to take hours to make a logo. Taking care in precisely building your field in such a way that it fitted the entire picture well enough to trace out the lines and colouring. Then you'd need to find out which hex code befitted the chosen colour best. Took a lot of time and effort. Can't remember who's idea it was exectly. But the first of the more impressive logo's was made by Tiana and took her an extremely long time. What she did was use paint and note the rgb colour codes for each pixel and transferted them into a hex. Took forever. Untill the site was discovered. I believe it wasn't that long tehreafter.

Ken's tutorial for making BB coding clan pictures using the following tools:
- A picture
- 2 websites
- Patience (it takes about 5 minutes max.)

First step:

Take a random picture, we'll be using this one as picture:
http://home.tiscali.nl/appossie/K-boot/Smiley.png
Now what you want to do is save it on your pc.
Like this:
Posted Image

"Afbeelding opslaan als" = "Save image as"

Second step:

Awesome! We now have our image!
What should we do with it? I know! Lets google for some info!
Searching, searching, ah what is this?
http://text-image.com/convert/
Hit the link and do the following part:
Posted Image

Just browse for your image, load it, fiddle a bit with the numbers,
as far as I know the max width is about 60 - 65.
I had some problems in the past with larger numbers.
And then hit convert.

Sidenote: You can try and play a bit with the numbers to see what you get,
also try and toy around a bit with the dropdown boxes.

Third step:

Yay, there's my image!
Huh, I copy paste it and all I get are numbers??
This is pretty 'tricky'. You'll have to search the source code for your image,
you can do this by doing the following:
Posted Image

"Pagin bron" = "Page source" or something like that,
anyhow, click on it and a new screen will pop up,
now you'll need to be looking for a line of long coding
this is how it looks like:

Posted Image

See the long line of coding, it looks quite familiar now does it?
It's html coding, BB-coding is somewhat an equivalent to it.
Anyhow, what you want to do is copy paste the following line:

Quote:

Start:
001100110100110000010111101100100010010110100001001

Just copy paste it somewhere,
in notepad, or any other text tool.

Fourth step:

Woot, I have now a big file in notepad!
What now?
Easy, google is your friend mates!
Just go to the following site:
http://www.seabreezecomputers.com/html2bbcode/
and paste the whole line of code there,
hit convert, et voilà!
Your image in BB-coding!
Now wasn't that easy?

Just sticky it so if people want to make some LA gfx, they can find it under the LA forums.
