VaBeachGuy 12 Posted August 9, 2004 It's getting to be that time of year again and Halloween will be here in October. We're going to be having a Halloween Banner contest like our Holiday Banner contest from last winter. I know, that's almost 3 months away but I wanted to give everyone a lot of time to think about what they want to make (if anything). Take your time, there's no rush with this much time. When you do have it ready you can either PM it to me (you can now upload attachments in PM's) or you can post it here in this thread. For the week before Halloween the banner rotation will only include Halloween Banners made by you. Here's the banner Takara made for us last year, this might give you some ideas.

Angel of Darkness 0 Posted September 21, 2004 Thanks :-) What size do they have to be? cause I could change the size of it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sea trooper 0 Posted September 21, 2004 Around this size Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VaBeachGuy 12 Posted September 21, 2004 Thanks :-) What size do they have to be? cause I could change the size of it 265256[/snapback] Here's an example from last year's Christmas banners, the requirements for a board banner are that they have to be the same size as the boards banners, the board name STARTREKFANS.NET has to be prominent in the banner (Because it's going to be a board banner) and they have to be in the same format in terms of background color and font style. You can include your name on the banner but STARTREKFANS.NET the largest text on it. The reason for the size and text requirements is because when they are set as board banners they will be the thing that tells everyone that they are at STARTREKFANS.NET. I believe the one below was the winner of the Christmas holiday season from last year. Click For Spoiler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Takara_Soong 4 Posted October 10, 2004 (edited) Here's one from me although I might make another one instead later. I just modified this a little to add the glow around the four pictures. I didn't think the cowboy hats were that visible on the two at the ends. Edited October 12, 2004 by Takara_Soong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sea trooper 0 Posted October 10, 2004 That gets my vote! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike 5 Posted October 11, 2004 Nice one Takara..VBG looks good in there... How is everybody else coming with their banners? We need more banners for the contest..In case anyone thinks you need a special program..You actually don't !..In fact I made mine in 'paint'..It's just a matter of getting the size of the banner and moving pics and text into it..I use the 'paste from' command in the 'edit' menu to import pics that are on my hard drive..And in paint you can resize them as you want.. Good Luck and have fun.. :angry: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
