Title: Banner Contest


Double Oh Seven - May 17, 2008 11:10 PM (GMT)
It's that time! Topia is in need a a new banner.

Guidelines:

- This is the most important, the banner must be 761 x 217 px large. Not a single pixel bigger, not a single pixel smaller.
- The right most edge of your entry must mesh with the blue bar to the right of the banner at the top. If this isn't done it will look choppy and won't be
accepted.

EXPLANATION:[spoiler]
Look below:

The highlighted part is the banner. You see the blue bar going through it and on? That bar has to be there. Otherwise it will just cut off at the end of the banner.

You may not be able to see it on your monitor, but on wide monitors it makes a difference.

If you want the image for the bar, here it is:

rubberbandmanzor - May 17, 2008 11:35 PM (GMT)
Ok, that's fine.

Damon - May 17, 2008 11:50 PM (GMT)

Wolf-RS - May 17, 2008 11:59 PM (GMT)

Nin-o - May 18, 2008 12:48 AM (GMT)
No doubt Ill lose but I'm still going to try this. It will be fun to try out the banner contest once again.

Can you explain this in different words <.<

- The right most edge of your entry must mesh with the blue bar to the right of the banner at the top. If this isn't done it will look choppy and won't be accepted.

There's a blue bar at the top. I think he wants the right edge of the banner to fit in with that blue bar.

I still don't get it.

If you can explain that part more clearly that even an idiot could understand (Like me) than I'ff enter. :happyjoy:

Wente - May 18, 2008 09:27 PM (GMT)
DD they are talking about the blue gradient near the top. you need to have that one the right side of the banner so it connets because they are separete images

kidyoshi11 - May 18, 2008 09:49 PM (GMT)
So we are just editing the current banner then <.<?

Double Oh Seven - May 19, 2008 12:57 AM (GMT)
You can edit the current one, but where is the fun in that? Look below:

I like that as well, but I'm just tired of seeing the same characters every time I come on. I think that a nice looking design would be good.

xD Not exactly what I meant.

I'm just saying that it was alright to have it when Topia V2 first came out, because everyone was hyped about Brawl. But now it just doesn't make sense that they should stay up there. I think we need some variety.

Yeah, exactly. Although I still feel that a nice looking design would make newcomers see us as an all around forum, not just based on Nintendo. It would make us sort of a "neutral" forum and keep us looking professional as wel.

Attempt #1: Create my own text (kinda failed a bit with this, but meh, it was an experiment.)

#2: Basically the same thing with the official Topia text with a few of my own touches.

That doesn't make any sense.

*sees the word communism*

lol

DookieMan - July 17, 2009 04:13 AM (GMT)
I just always thought of it. I mean, communism is all about utopianism, and the title of the site made me think about that.
