COMPETITION! Design EN World banners!

[Morrus]

OK, there's no actual prize (but I'll hand out XP like candy and link to this from the news page), but I figured it might be fun.

I'd like some ad banners for EN World. One is a header baner (as sene at the top of this page, 728x90), and one is a column banner (as seen to the right of this page, 160x600). They can be animated or static (jpeg/gif or animated gif).

I don't mind what they say, but I'd like them to be proud, boastful, flashy, highlight EN World's strengths and features, and be generally very cool.

Anyway... have fun! And thanks in advance to anyone who gives it a try! Please just attach your creations here in this thread. Feel free to ask any questions if you you need to know anything, although I figure it'd be more fun if you just went at it with a free hand and see what you come up with without any input from me - I reckon we'll get some more fun, varied results that way!

Other than the dimensions is there any filesize requirements.

Will these banners be used only on ENWorld or other sites?

Should they be made for both the default black and the white styles?

 

[Morrus]

In order:

1) No.

2) Likely, but I haven't really decided yet. Thougjht I'd wait to see what I got first.

3) You can do if you like; I imagine most will look OK in both styles.

Anyone? Beuller?

I'll take a crack at it, but I can't get to it until tomorrow. Is that too late?


[EDIT] Not going to happen from me for a few days at least, and I apologize for that. I damaged my mousing hand in Kung Fu. I had a blast doing it, too...

Well, I'm not entirely sure I'm happy with it... in fact, I'm sure I'm not, but it's at least something to get other people started.

The hardest part was figuring out what font to use in the logo. Fortunately, I seem to have the exact same font on my PC.

Whoops, forgot the vertical banner.

And that art is from the Player's Handbook, DMG, and/or the Forgotten Realms campaign guide, so it may or may not be acceptable to use on a fan site. In case my post count doesn't give it away, I'm a bit new here.

 

[Morrus]

Yay - thanks, Wiggster! They are both very cool!

Just getting back after being gone a while - is there a deadline?

---edit---

- Is there room to play with the logo a bit?

 

[Morrus]

No, no deadline. And feel free to be as creative with the logo or anything as you like!
