CHARAS FORUMS BANNER CONTEST: A NEW HOPE

[Valiere]

We of the Charas Staff, which now seems to encompass about two-thirds of all active members, have decided that the present assortment of banners at the top of the screen is inadequate for a myriad of reasons, the most pronounced being that there seems to only be about five of them.

I know what you're thinking. But Val, what does that have to do with me? Well, you know that pirated copy of Photoshop you have lying around? Well...what if you were to use that to make a Charas Forums banner? You would be the coolest kid on the bus, having made your mark on Charas history. Bots from all over the internets would flock to this forum just to see your banner, and maybe make a topic about herbal penis enlargement.

RULES!!

* Contest will run from now until January 23rd. That's a whole month, but it wouldn't kill you to get started now.
* You may either post your banner in this topic or PM it to me.
* Size must be 650x150 pixels.
* Format must be jpg, png, or gif.
* The words "Charas Forums" must be displayed prominently.
* The creators of the top 3 banners will receive a nifty badge to be displayed under their avatar. Only judge is moi.
* You may submit as many banners as you want.
* However, I reserve the right to reject any banners that aren't up to snuff.

As far as content goes, I'm pretty open-minded. Some suggestions...Incorporate a memorable quote from a Charas member. Parody a movie or a TV show with a Charas style. Make what looks like a 50's-style advertisement for Charas with a catchy slogan.

I'll accept stuff done in MS Paint, but I would prefer that you made something nicer in Photoshop or any other decent paint program. You may use drawings, photographs, images, whatever looks nice. Don't forget to display "Charas Forums" prominently.

Here is an example banner I made myself. It did not take long:



Good luck, and keep em comin!

[Prpl_Mage]

Man, this is hard. Can't come up with something that fits the dimensions and still look good.

[Ben]

Im swtill on board with this

[Phayre]

Ima try my hand at this, if my laptop cooperates.

[Valiere]

It won't be easy, what with your goldfish memory and all.

[coreystranick]

Oh you should make a comic about him and his memory.

[Moosetroop11]

I'll try this again, since my last one was cruelly rejected :p

[Valiere]

No posts for a while. Hope you lads aren't wimping out on me.

[SaiKar]

Technically I never even committed to anything in the first place

[Linkizcool]
