The new bb has a blank spot and BigMike has asked for some ideas on what to put in this area. I thought it would be a good to have members submit some ideas on what to do with this area. I created a few to give you some ideas on a backround. It could be a shot of a group of rigs like I did or some great scenery, etc, etc. Remember it must fit in the area he is referring to so it kinda has to be a long strip. Also it will be a backround and there will be images and some text placed on top of it. Here's the area in question and the strip that needs a backround. There is no prize for this little contest and no guarantee any image will get selected. The backround extends from the edge of you profile image, under the text and under the Marlincrawler image so try to make them stand out. Also if you see one you like voice your opinion.

How about something like a truck of the day or week or whatever.Just something that randomly selects a rig to feature.

what about making several different ones (some with trucks, some with scenery, etc) and letting it be an option?

Hey Rs, you know how before at the roundups there was a group shot of most of the rigs? How bout each year gettin a shot of everyone and their rigs and using that, just changing it a couple times a year to different angles.... :dunno: No individuals, just the whole group :twocents:  I don't have any pics or I'd show ya :down:

Or how bout a picture of the springs where we camp for the roundup....

Or a panorama of different wheelin trails to alternate (Con, Moab, Hammers, etc).

That neon thing I did to get the ball rolling is of my club members on a run posing for the camera. I was being artsy fartsy to give ideas going and did also think a line-up of rigs at the Marlincrawler events would be the way to go. Maybe a faded backroundish look would get it.

how about something like the frapper slideshow that scrolls through just a line of pictures. each member could submit one picture or their avatar.

These are all great ideas. Realistically though, I don't think I will have any time for it until late May (after skool)
