Hello welcome back to the guild announcements, This time we are going to have a small contest of artistic value.

Ok then here is the basics starting from next Monday, I will be giving everybody one month, to design a banner. Alright I will also say that there will be some small rules.

You have one of two options here:

You may post the banner you wish to enter on this forum.

Or two if you prefer to stay ananomous you may send it to me with the label banner contest and I will post it.

In a month from this monday we will have the poll go up and people vote the one with the most votes wins. and to highten the interest in this contest I will give the winner an october envelope of last year.

and all who enter shall get 2000 gold.

Have a nice day.

You forgot to tell us the banner sizes.
The banner display size is 200 pixels wide by 40 pixels tall. For all those who do not know.

I looked everywhere for that and couldn't find it.

TuraLura thought it was a 4 to 1 ratio. Are you sure it's 5:1? I hope not since I'm almost done with my first attempt. 8o)

----------------------------------------------

Can we submit more than one banner? I've got two ideas I'd like to try. One just needs a couple of more hours the other is a bit more ambitious and make take me a couple of weeks assuming I can find the images I need.

Copied and Pasted from Gaia Guilds Network (GGN) Rules/FAQ Page.


(~ Guild banners
Q: What is a banner and how do I get one?
A: A banner is an image that you or your guild members create or buy, host somewhere online such as: http://www.photobucket.com or xs.to, and then link to from your guild settings.

Be aware that like other images you use on Gaia, it's best to use something original that was created for this purpose, and never link to an image off of someone else's website. Make sure the image you use is one that you have hosted somewhere yourself.

If you don't know how to make an image yourself, you might want to try asking your guild members for help or try browsing in the Minishops forum for a shop that sells them!

Q: What size does my banner need to be?
A: The GGN banner display size is 200 pixels wide by 40 pixels tall. You can make your banner larger than this, and it will still display, but the excess pixels will be cropped.

To set the url for your guild banner:
Go to your moderator panel in your guild, and click the link that says: 'Edit guild settings' then look for the field labeled: 'Banner:' and input the url to your image. Note: Do not use the http://www.bannerlocation.somethingorother/yourpicture.jpg

Captains and vice captains can check out a thread in the Captains' Guild that provides additional information on banners in guilds, as well as tutorials for several popular graphics programs and a chance to discuss how we use them and could use them better. Learn more > ~)

Excellent. Thanks. For some reason when I tried searching the FAQ for for "banner" I got no hits.

Crap. Now I have to redo the banner I was working on. The sacrifices I make for art. 8o)

Contest Banners (In order of creation. [Was always told, in school, to have at least five made and to make variations of one so people can see what can be done if they dislike the ones that are showed to them.])
