Yup, it is really hard. But I think I'm really good at not re-reading anything I wrote, cause I got a 1 on my german final exam last year when I ended school, which would be an A+ I guess, and it was the best essay of the whole class!
Well, anyways... I can't wait to see your banner! I'll look around this weekend if I find some pictures which inspire me to another banner as well
Where were we with Elizabeth?

Well that is awesome. Congratulations on that great accomplishment. I know how hard writing is, so to be the best of the entire class is terrific.
Cool. I hope that you will be able to find some great pictures so that you can make another one.
Hmm, I don't really remember.

Well... my class actually only consisted out of 14 people... as I was in a Old-Greek-Class, there weren't very many who were willing to go in this class, most chose french or something with computers...
And pictures I find and have enough, the difficulty for me is to make them fit in some way... :S
Hmm... I guess we then are in desperate need of an Elizabeth topic!

Ah, well it is still an awesome accomplishment. Haha, I can imagine most people would choose those other courses. I am sure that they are probably easier.
Yep, I know exactly what you mean. That is one of the most difficult parts of making a graphic.
Well I was bored today, so I made a graphic. Maybe it will work for this club, but if not, I will still use it someday anyways, so I really had nothing to lose by making it. Here it is:

Well, that depended on the teacher... the French teacher couldn't teach at all, the computer teacher bored the whole class, and for me, the Greek teacher is the best teacher I ever got to know!
And this banner you made is great! It shows her leadership better than my banner could, it makes her more grown up and... piratey!  Thanks for making it.

Yeah I guess you are right. One can be made to like almost any subject if you have a good teacher.
Well thanks. I honestly struggled with that banner quite a bit, and I am still unsure how the blending looks. Aw, your banner looked awesome. Yours just showed a different aspect to her character. Whereas mine more focuses on her leadership qualities, yours showed her character progression, which is cool. I think they are both good. And no problem about making it, if any more inspiration comes to me I may make another one.

Pretty new signature! I love Jack's expression!
Oh dear, I still have forgotten to add your banner on the first page! I will do that immediately!
Well, I'm no expert at blendings, not at all, but I think it works perfectly on your banner. And it definitely shows her leading qualities, with her standing alongside with Barbossa and Will, it makes her look strong and powerfull as leader.
Hmm... I have 3 days left until I'll be off to Scottland for a couple of days, until I've planned on making another banner... because I'm so in banner-making mood

Thank you. Balathor is an awesome graphic maker isn't he?
No problem. Slowly but surely we will fill up that first post with graphics.
Well thanks. That is definitely the idea I was going for. I am still a little unsure about the blending, but overall I don't think it is a bad graphic.
Ah, that should be a fun trip. Any particular thing you are going to see?
I love being in a banner making mood. That Elizabeth banner is the fruits of one of those sprees.

Yup, he is for quite sure! And... well... I was in mood for another banner today, tho I took a particular scene, cause I think in this one Elizabeth shows that she is part of the grand pirates now, included and thought of important. As well it's one of my favourite scenes cause it always makes me laugh!
Well, at least I hope it's not too bad...

And it surely will be a great trip. We, so that's my mom and stepdad, will go on a boat trip from Inverness to Loch Ness and further, and then travel back again... so we'll see everything near the Caledonian Canal.

Yeah that is a good scene to make a banner for, for all of those reasons. I also see Will, Elizabeth, and Barbossa kind of ganging up on Jack in that scene, because he was the only one that did not want to go to the Brethren Court. And yeah it is one of the more funny scenes in AWE.
Not too bad? I think that it is awesome. You are an absolute master at cutting out pictures and putting them on top of others, without anything left on the pictures that you don't want. I know how truly time consuming that is, and I have a deep appreciation for how awesome you are at it.
That sounds cool. Boat trips are awesome. I have only ever been on short ones in my life, but I have enjoyed each and every one. Not to mention you will get to see all sorts of beautiful scenery.

lol Oh, no, you're doing too good on me, I'm not that good at it! I'm just picking the easiest pictures to put them together and then just have my tricks to work on them so that they look better :S But thank you!
Well, I don't think it's one of the really important scenes for Elizabeth, but you just can see her setting herself up to these pirates, which of course makes it again important
I've never before been to Scottland, but i always wished to go there. Just the history, the incredible landscapes, the people are incredible... I once wanted to go there with my school class, but the teacher didn't manage to get us there, she blew it off. So now at last I got a chance, yay!

Yeah but that is what all graphic makers do. Without tricks all of our work would look horrible.  And you are most welcome.
Yep. It doesn't really matter if it is an ultra important scene, all that matters IMO is if the scene has Elizabeth in it. After all this club is meant to celebrate her, so any banner with her in it could work for a club banner.
Well I am glad that you are finally able to go. I am sure that you will have a great time.

True, true... well... I still don't feel like a good graphic maker  Oh well
lol Completely correct, whatever has to do with Elizabeth should be in this room, whether it is important, or not so essential. :nod: So, let's celebrate Elizabeth with even more banners
Well, so I'll be gone from thursday on, can't wait on that, although I'll miss AU!

Yes, but none of us do. It is a sign that you are improving; at least that is what I have heard.
Yep. I hope to make a few more in the future. Hmm, maybe we should just make a banner for every one of her scenes.
Ah, I imagine that you can't wait. I am sure that a lot of people will miss you as well.

Lol well, thank you really much  On the other side, I really adore your banners :nod:
And that's a perfect idea, tho much to do... but I'm in, I'd love this project!
I'll try to make a banner then with the small Elizabeth in her first scene, well, before I'll be off to Scottland...

You are too kind. My stuff is not all that great.
Yep, it is quite a lot to do, but it is all just for fun, so if we never get through the entire trilogy, it doesn't really matter.
