Guest GameMaker Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 Hi, I am part of a forum called the Game Maker Community and we are in desperate need of a good banner. So, I have decided to host a short contest here at Tip.it, where I know there are some good artists. I am willing to give 3 million for banners, either 3m for one or 1.5m each for two. It will be put at the top of each page of the forum, with the skin (see below) behind it. Standards -Must say "Game Maker Community" ("Community" is probably best on it's own line). -Must be a GIF, JPEG, or PNG. -Maximum dimensions are 250 by 68 pixels (rather small) -Maximum filesize is 15KB -MUST BLEND INTO THE FOLLOWING SKIN (You may just use this as the background if you wish): Suggested Content -Hammer inside a circle/sphere (This is our logo). -Suggested colors: Blue for background, gray or blue for hammer, red or blue for circle/sphere, white or blue for text. -The words "GAMEMAKER" and "COMMUNITY" both have the same number of characters; you could take advantage of this (But you certainly don't have to). Samples Note If you want to protect your work, feel free to put "Sample" or your name on it. But please make it small and transparent, so I can still judge the banner well. Good luck, -GameMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest GameMaker Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 Minimalistic, please. I mean, some abstract-like decorations in the background would be nice, but I want the text to be the main focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 You guys should probably use the background he gave us, so it matches the site. Also, why would he pay 1.5mil for something he could make himself in 5 minutes on photoshop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest GameMaker Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 @1 Hit Quit: It does look sorta neat, but must blend in with the skin. Read my whole post please. @Nadril: Good, but a bit too simple. @lemad11: Very nice :) @_PoseidoN_: Sorta neat, but could you give the hammer a bit of color? Maybe tint it blue a bit? @entangle: Not bad.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
