Live-evil is calling for entries in our Third Annual Official Banner Contest!!
L-E is hosting our 3rd annual contest and you are invited to enter. Multiple entries are allowed. This is your chance to show off those fancy photoshop skills. And all you sketch/drawing artists out that, this contest is open to you too!
The contest: Design a banner for L-E's homepage.
The prize: Your banner will be added to the rotating banners on L-E's website (obviously!) and the winning nick(s) will be announced on the site as well. ... Oh, and did I mention that we have some manga and DVDs as prizes too?
The rules:
- MUST be 730x185(pixels)
o Please note, the edges will be cut off by the frame when the banner is posted, so keep that in mind when creating your design. - MUST be in .jpeg, .bmp, .png, or .gif format. JPEG preferred.
- MUST contain the Live-Evil logo
o Download the logo in jpeg & psd format here: http://www.live-evil.org/wp-content/uploads/2006/12/le-logo.zip
o This may be faded or the edges blurred to make it look good in your design, but it must be prominently visible. - Entries MAY be created from screenshots, drawn, or any combination thereof, but MUST come from a current Live-evil project (includes joint projects).
o See http://www.live-evil.org/current-past-dropped-projects/ for a list of current L-E projects.
o Exception: entries for Tokyo Marble Chocolate and Piano no Mori will be accepted this year only. :) - MAY contain the logo of the show(s) being used, but MAY NOT contain any other text (apart from the L-E logo). No links to other websites, signatures, nicks, etc. will be permitted
- MUST NOT contain content of an overly graphic or offensive nature.
- Entries not meeting the above requirements will be disqualified.
The DEADline: December 31, 2008 - 11:59 PM PST.
(The last minute of the year in practically the last time zone ;))
The judges: The staff of Live-evil will vote on the entries and determine the winner(s)! If the entries are good enough, runners up may be chosen and their banners displayed as well.
Submission: 3 methods acceptable:
- E-mail your entry to tlynnec@live-evil.org.
Not that we expect any problems, but: if you do not receive a response to your e-mail within 24 hours, it was not received. - Post your entry in this thread
- Post a link to your entry in this thread... make sure your link works!
and.... that's it. Ready? Set... GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whew, I don't think I'll have time to enter this year (there's a small chance, but right now it's not looking like I'd be able to in time). But I'm looking forward to seeing the banners~! Good to see some GE999 and SSX love! [:love] Good luck everyone!

Tokyo Marble Chocolate, not a current project so not really allowed. What is that pig so happy about?
That's all folks.

Looking good so far. I'm hoping for a few more by tonight :p
Also, I'm making an exception to allow Tokyo Marble Chocolate banners. The show was released so quickly that it never had a chance to be included in a previous contest. The same also goes for Piano no Mori (and I would <3 to see banners for that one!).
Summary: Tokyo Marble Chocolate & Piano no Mori = OK!

at first I thought he was giving us a finger. ::)

ROFL
Oh yeah, almost forgot: Since there were so many good banners, we put an additional 6 banners that got high votes on the website, so even if you didn't win, keep an eye out for yours... it might just be there :)
-
And on a side note, though there are no prizes involved, if anyone wants to make a banner for Katri, please feel free... We need one.
-
If there is no prize involved then I I'll add a banner too. This series is so underrepresented that even banners are beyond contest. Even the time it was broadcasted it was never popular. But music, animation and background quality are of the best.

-
Looks nice but can you fix the aspect ratio?
-
I had to find the fitting background so I cut another segment without altering the ratio. It should be OK now
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y105/petran79/KATRIBANNER2.jpg
if by ratio you meant the size (the first appeared at a resolution 500x130) here is the link with the full resolution. I thought the IMG code would make the image appear at 100%
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y105/petran79/KATRIBANNER.jpg
-
Contest is over.
Sorry
-
you mean you found a banner for Katri?
The banner here is beyond contest anyway
-
Yeah, just ignore Mamo.
I like these a lot, I think the forest background is a bit nicer.
I don't know if it's what Tofu means or not, but I find the image of Katri and Aapeli look a bit strectched horizontally, though that may not actually be the case.
-
The figure of Katri was from one of the Bandai DVD covers I found in Amazon Japan and I pasted it unaltered. But the background there had different perpective and the image had 1:1 aspect ratio so it was not for panoramic view.
-
oh wow! i didn't think i would win too. LOL :D
It was fun making the banners. Thanks ;D
-
Contest is over.
Sorry
I think Mamo is going senile, so yeah, just don't pay attention to him. :)
-
petran, i like the katri banners a lot, thanks! Katri looks a bit... squished though. Anyway you could fix that?
-
OK. I hope it looks better now. I prefer this picture since the background here remained intact while in the first it had to be distorted.

-
looks great! thanks. :)
-
Yeah, received my price today. :D
Thanks for the manga's L-E staff, now I only need to learn Japanese to read them.
