Design A Banner Contest; Talk about designing a new banner!

Well, do I need to explain it any further? As this is a new forum, it needs a new banner. You must design it :P .

Rules:

1) The design must be your own OR;
2) Any design you adopt MUST be properly referenced, or else it will not be judged;
3) It must match the skin;
4) Try to fit in properly - a 680x150 pixels-sized banner will suffice;
5) Judges cannot vote for their own entries.

The judges of this contest will be KingsIndian, Candyguitar, and myself. The closing date is Monday 28th December at 8p.m. GMT, so you have more than three weeks to come up with a design. Have fun!

That's not bad, actually! I'm sure we can fix the white spot easily enough.

Nor do I yet. We can think of a slogan, though.

Are you going to enter or not, Michelle? If not, then I might as well take you off the judging panel.

OK, then. It'd be nice if you could still work on a banner anyway, though; what you have now is a good start.

Has anyone come up with any prototypes yet?

Is anyone actually going to come up with anything? Surely we agree the current banner is very boring and impersonal.

Yay! An entry :D

Even though it's simple, it is better than nothing, at least :) . It's definitely better than the banner we have now!

I'm thinking about entering this, but I have some questions...

1. Can we use images that are not ours and edit them into the banner?
2. What do you mean by "matching"? Is this just the colors to the skin?
3. By properly referenced, do you mean stating "Imperial Forum" on it?

Have to see if I still have photoshop, but I'm willing to do this...

1) Yes (although you must say where you got the images from if you're using them);
2) Just the colours of the skin;
3) All that means is that you have to show us which images you used.

I hope I got those right; if not, FFE can correct me.

That's absolutely right, CJ, although you don't need to acknowledge yourself on the banner if you created it (although you can should you so wish :P ).

We've only got five more days left, so you'd better be quick! Entries submitted after the set time won't be judged.

I'm sure it will. It doesn't have to be perfect. Show us what you've done so far and we'll work on it :) .

Oh this is just a provisional one. I'll add more Imperial Stuff in time.
