Cincy and Cleveland have tons of avatars to pick from, even Akron has one!  Columbus, however, is unrepresented... could we please have a Columbus avatar? 

LOL!  I was wondering what the Akron avatar was all about!  I thought you may have gone to the dark side.

I wish they would allow more space to work with for avatars. Another board I go to allows 150x150.

You could always create your own Columbus avatar.  Just find a pic of Columbus, crop the part you want to use to a 1:1 ratio and resize it to 100 x 100.

Create your own avatar......that sounds like hieracy!

Here's an animated avatar for anyone who wants it:

 

^Now how does one go about creating an animated avatar??

I'm sure there are other ways to do it, but here's what I do:

 

1. In Photoshop, create a new blank image at the size you want (be sure it's in RGB format with a transparent background).

2. Open the images you want to use.

3. Make a new layer for each image (aka each "slide" of the animation). Or just drag and drop each image you want to use (it becomes a layer).

4. Click the "ImageReady" button, and select "Make Frames from Layers".

5.  Adjust the time/display for each slide.

6. Save the whole kit and kaboodle (images and html) and upload to your web host.

 

Or you could always ask me nicely ;-)

As we're getting more and more members each day, I thought we could start a thread here for new avatars.

 

For Columbus:

 

 

 

 

For the Ohio City neighborhood in Cleveland:

I'm sorry but this is UrbanOHIO....not just Columbus and Cleveland.  So why is it that this thread is 'New avatars (Columbus and Cleveland).  It would make more sense to be 'New Avatars'.

^ Oy

So when's someone gonna get jiggy with a Lima avatar already?

 

I'm waiting...

I'm awaiting Stryker myself...

How about this?

 

 

Damn.

 

Can I climb out from underneath my desk to ask what H.B.I.C. stands for?  Or will I get hit with shrapnel?

 

Head Bitch In Charge :evil:

 

 

 

*Whereas Rich and Chris are the head... umm... well - they're in charge but I handle things on the bitch end :-D

Here's a Cincinnati avatar, from a shot I was really lucky to get - sun setting over downtown, taken from about three or four miles away, on Columbia Parkway.  Here's the original:

 

 

...and here's an avatar from it:

 

 

BTW, thanks for the definition!

When Urban Planning Wonks Attack! This Monday on Fox!

Here's a skyline shot avatar from last night:

 

 

it would take a thread about decorating for people to get all bitchy about!  :-D

MayDay, any chance of soliciting a Los Angeles avatar from you?  :-D

Los Angeles? Bah.

Maybe you can find one on urbancalifornia.com. 

 

traitor.

I finally snapped a pic of one of my favorite signs in Greater Cleveland - the Parma BOWLING sign on Ridge Road. In celebration of this event, I've created a Parma avatar for anyone who wants to use it! :-D

Here is one for someone:

 

Wow...that's...er...disturbing...

LOL... I recently had the Parma/pierogi/lawn ornament conversation with a couple I met at a party in Miami. One is from Cleveland, the other Columbus (they met in Cleveland). Others listened attentively, most had no idea what a pierogi was!

Here is an avatar I made today.  It is a photo of the Cincinnati Police logo shaved into their horses side.  Feel free to use it.

 

^thats kinda gross  :oops:

Wow...that's...er...disturbing...

 

Dig deeper on the net to find things way more disturbing than that lol
