Autumn 2004 Banner Contest!!!!
Welcome to the new Autumn banner contest. You've seen the cool banners we have at the top of our forum. Some of you remember the last banner contest. Others have wondered where those cool banners come from. In case you didn't know, they were made by people on this forum. Now is your chance to make a banner that will grace our forum for at least the next season.
Banners may contain anime artwork from any source including your own art. They must be anime related and they must be appropriate for our forum. The theme for this banner contest is the season of Autumn. That means falling leaves, Halloween, Ginko and anything else that fits with the season. Feel free to use your imagination. I'm hoping that we'll see some original artwork this year. The rest of the rules:
Disclaimers:
If you want to use the AnimeSuki font, there it is. The edges of the banner must blend into the top bar. That means the very edge of the template below must not be covered by any image or else it will look like it has been cut off. If a mistake is made on edge blending we will all try to point it out so that it can be fixed. Banners whose edges are messed up will be ineligable.

Canned
^ ver1.1: Recompressed due to compression error Canned ^ ver1.2b: Slightly blended edges/Increased color saturation (^ It means that it's time to get the heated pools ready. ) ^ ver2.0: Still undecided if the edges are blended enough. /Above banners will be tweaked over time if needed. Many other banners currently in the works. Last edited by Green˛; 2004-09-03 at 16:58. Reason: Additions/Changes |

Very nice Green˛ but...
The left and right edge doesn't blend into the background very well (IMHO). I placed your image onto a 1000 x 60 (extended) background and it stands out to much. Could you not simply merge the two images together at the edges, going from the wavey darker blue to the solid lighter blue. |

NoSanninWa, you're so predictable. I could tell you were going to make the banner contest today by just seeing you earlier today by you viewing the Spring contest, but now I wonder why there was never a Summer Banner Contest.....
Green: Yeah, it's just a little too dark and would have of a Summer feel, but it's still very nice. I'm sure you can make it a tad bit lighter. Overall: 88% I will edit my post if you have made any changes. |

Ok, I made something for this animesuki banner contest ^_^ I have no idea -what- exactly to call it, but basically...you upload your image, and it shows the banner in the position ontop the forums. Ok, heres the steps in using it:
1: Click this URL (http://geocities.yahoo.com/filemanager) 2: Log-in, username: twidesinet and password: Mognet 2.5: (then go to "File Manager" if your not already there.) 3: Delete the file 1.gif 4: upload your banner (you must name it 1.gif, I don't know if it *has* to be gif, if it's jpg or png just try renaming it to .gif and see if that works) 5: Open this page: (http://www.geocities.com/twidesinet/banner-gen.html) If it's not your banner, then someone else uploaded before you viewed it. I'm not expecting a huge amount of people to use this, so I don't think that would ever occur. If it does, just try again in a few moments. Hope it comes in handy!

a question, is it possible to make the banner appear in the vBulletin skin? probably not, but I have get used to this calm blue instead of the brownish animesuki style, btw I know NSW use this skin too, dont you miss the banner?
I will do some banners later, this is fun! ^_^ Quote:

er, ok...should I stop posting them each time and just edit my existing post? Come on people comments? likes? dislikes? just don't nominate, the rest is ok. All of you must attempt it atleast! It's no fun with only a few. Hellychan: ooooh, flashy! I really like it, brings out autumn in the colors I see you use the leaves brushes aswell ^_^ Like the little wings on either side |
