Graphic design contest

Here is the deal :

This contests as the title says is about graphic design.

What we want from you?

We want you to create a banner of size 468 x 60 pixels. I don't really care what the banner will write or what changes you will make to the logo (after all creativity must be free to work, right?) I just want something cool enough to be clicked :)

The best banner will be used for the banner campaign that I plan to do as soon as we have a cool banner.

The prize is..... 5.000 banner impressions (of your banners ofcourse) in the Topsites sublime directory plus a pr 5 link from the homepage of the same site for 12 months!

Deadline for the contest is the 1 of March, but if we will not have enough or quallified submittions till then, the contest will continue go on.

So get your hands on your Photoshop/ GIMP or whatever else you use for your graphics and good luck :)

PS : If for any reason we'll use more than one banners, all of the winners will get the same prize.

Should we post the baners here in this thread?

You can post here or send them by email to np [ at ] human works [ dot ] gr

A small correction: You must provide the source file for the banner with the fonts that you will use.

(eg. If you use Photoshop send the .PSD file)

hmm can i make about 5 of then and submit them all?

Sure. This will make your chance to win better :)

Hmm. Maybe you misunderstood the competition, or for another time my bad english made this....

I was meant to create a banner for webdigity :)

HAHA.. ok, you can remove that if you want...

Understood!

Ok message removed.

For the rest, you have to create a banner that promotes webDigity.

ok i can do this just have to go to work first.. ill try to make them all as different as possible..

Wow... that's a pretty nice prize. I suck at design, but I'll try my best!

Maybe this is a good motivation to help you learn :)

First attempt...



More to come...

Calling this one 1st Tempt!

Hmm. Nice

Keep on :)

Submission 2... I am calling this one CrEaTiViTy.



I might squeeze out another... 8)

Wow. I am impressed!

If you keep working on this, I am sure the prize is yours :)

hmm how long will the contest last? i am not sure i have time atm to do this but i want to..

This one I am naming intrigue...



Hopefully people will wonder what it is all about and just CLICK!

This one I am calling STAMP...



I like this one!

What I think that you should do Nick is:

- Set a closing date for Meth0d :)
- When the competition is closed, start a poll using the names of the adverts that you think are the top ten.

How does that sound?

Wineo, thanks for your banners. You made a good job :)

About the poll you are right that's what we are going to do. So the users will choose the right banner.

Here's my first try, I'll make some others if I can find the time...

It's fine. But I think you need to work it out a little more :)

I pick everyone but Wineo O_O

Be carefull man, he is a global moderator :)

...

He cheats. Mods cant win contests :-p

You are right about that, but it's ok with me.

The only who can't win is me (obvious) and my staff (pretty fair I guess).

I am only a mod here not staff  8)  Nick is not paying me enough to be staff... haha!

If you don't want me to win, you need to enter some banners for competition!

C'mon let's see what you got...  8)

Hmm. Interesting comment....

Now it sounds like a challenge :)

MUHAHAHA... ;)

i will challenge eventually

I'll be sending my first ones in shortly in a zip file from mercury at theicy dot net.

Just got them. Nice work you've done there Mercury :)

Here are the banners of Mercury :

Well, here's my entry :)

Sketchi that's a very nice work.

Maybe you should work it out a little more and go for the prize :)

so no closing date set?

The deadline is the 1st of March.

BTW welcome to our community iepurilah. Nice avatar :)

this is interesting... compeition is pretty good though. I'll try to make it by the deadline :)

Tomorrow is the 1st of March!!!  8)

Ok, here is my shot.However, the banners have to be finished, because I made last week but haven't got the time to work more on them, and I remember tomorrow is the last day.

Wow. Good work :)

Luis and everybody else, good luck again. And don't forget that tomorrow is the deadline :)

Well the the contest is over, stay tuned for the winners(we will post them in about a week or so)

In the meanwhile if anyone wants to tell an opinion about any of the banners, please post it here.

I would love to have your help regarding the winner. Most of the banners were great, so I believe it wont be easy to choose a winner.

I think iepurilah's were great :P
just kidding...ok Nikolas, we're wainting for the decision

hmm i guess i missed it :P

Maybe next time. Good Luck to everyone!
