Bettarazzi Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 So I thought it might be kinda cool to have a little banner comp. I'm sure we're all getting a bit sick of seeing that gold dragon without a full mask. So some guidelines. 1. Must include "AusAqua" and "Australian Aquarists" 2. Height must not exceed current banner. 3. Width can be a bit wider than it is now but shouldn't interfere with the bits which are currently on the right. (I'm mega-articulate tonight aren't I) 4. Doesn't have to include bettas but probably better if you make a little bit aquarium themed. 5. Could be for general use or very specifically themed eg. for Grand Final, Melbourne Cup, Christmas, Gene Lucas' birthday. Think google logo. Deadline Not sure. How long do you need? Shall we say end of July? How to Submit Send your entries to admin AT ausaqua.net Prizes What? Bragging rights not enough? Having your work displayed for all the world to see? OK I'll find something good to act as prizes. Who's Judging Well umm... ME and maybe I'll find some arty farty graphic designer type. Plus we could have a people's choice or something. Let me know what you think. Happy to tweak the rules. We want to make this fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadoh Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Sorry Busman. Too busy being an arty farty graphic designer who moonlights as water change monkey for a well known aquarium shop/publicity manager/secretary for some fish club...

Lilly Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Shame that the fish I have to photograph and use would both be Gold Dragons, Lol. I'll have a go anyway, sounds fun. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melbournebetta Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Everyone have a crack, it's easy - and have a poke around for creative-commons or copyright free wallpapers with fishy business, remember water/plants/driftwoods/textures/fishy stuff are all relevant. I did a font search and seem to have ID'd he AA font as Didot - with some spacial tweaking - here is the link to the template if you want to work with it... feel free to illustrate the text (Resembling the font/words) yourself. Here's a boring example: Hint - if you can, keep the background transparent so the green header shines through in all it's glory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettarazzi Posted June 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Oh you don't have to use the same font. Different would be better. You could even have a go at trying to create an AusAqua word made up of fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
les Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Do you have to be artistic or can us autistic dislexic folk join in ass well Cheers Les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettarazzi Posted June 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Anyone can have a go and be in the running for the people's choice prize. Possibly not everything will make it onto the short list to get it's day in the sun as one of the final banners. But everything will appear in a thread for people to vote on.

melbournebetta Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 What's the bets I get roped into making the banner graphic for the winner too? So, I do all these designs and get a minor percentage of a prize that I make myself? THAT SOUNDS LIKE A DEAL TOO GOOD TO BE TRU..... ...Tru? Screw you guys, I'm eating whatever he's eating.

Bettarazzi Posted June 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 The winner doesn't need a banner. They'll have THEIR banner up in place of the forum banner. How much more fame does one person need I ask you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
