Forum:CT Archive/Boba Fett main image: Policy or Opinion

Forums &gt; Consensus track &gt; 

I don't like the Boba Fett main image. I know that's my opinion, and we already decided it (with some fights along the way), but according to policy, this is the best one:



It's better than the current one in two ways:

1. We started using pics for everything that were portraits, headshots, and head-and-shoulders.

2. It shows him at the latest time we have him, and is in good quality, per the Manual of Style, and Obi-Wan Kenobi.

 * Like this one better. Some cropping at the bottom would help. 23:00, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

 * 2) Come on already. This better be the last vote. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 20:33, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Option 3

 * 1) Changed my vote to this. A little cropping at top and sides would help. -Fnlayson 18:24, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
 * What cropping could you do? Crop the top and you chop off the top of the missile. The sides a little bit maybe. - JMAS 18:35, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Yea the missile tip is too close. I missed that. But the sides could be cropped a little to focus on Fett.  -Fnlayson 23:29, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Done. - JMAS 19:07, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Option 6

 * 1) Well lit, no background, high quality, upper body shot... It's a winner. MaclimesZero 18:32, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
 * 2) This is my first choice, followed Option 3. - JMAS 21:48, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Comments

 * I'm still strongly of the opinion that clear live-action shots should be preferred over artistic ones, regardless of other concerns. That said, I'm sure we could do better than the ESB promo. jSarek 08:43, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
 * How about some new options then? Any of the three I added to the options strike anyone's fancy? - JMAS 17:12, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
 * 3 is too distracting. 4 is bad quality. And 5 is a bad angle. -- Redemption [[Image:Redemptionusersymbol.png|25px]] Talk 17:18, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
 * All the images I added as options are immensely better quality than the current image being used. - JMAS 18:35, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure what your looking at but they are of horrible quality. One could say that your having the same monitor problems as Tnu. -- Redemption [[Image:Redemptionusersymbol.png|25px]] Talk 18:58, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
 * JMAS, those images are just plain horrible. It's the truth. If the majority would, for some reason, vote for one of those, I'd have to replace it because of their poor qualities. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 20:35, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Groan... I'm sorry I wasted your time everybody. I just don't like any of the options we have right now, and according to our de-facto policy we should have headshots and what they looked like at the latest time. There has to be a solution; on Luke Skywalker we got a really good headshot and it seemed like we had to dig for it. I don't prefer Artwork over Real or vice-versa, rather, which is better looking. ---  V ladius M agnum ( Clan Magnum )[[Image:dasymbol.gif|20px]] 18:03, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
