Banner Submissions

Postby PsychoDuck on Tue Jan 08, 2008 1:42 am

Want to try your hand at making a banner for One Duck's Opinion? Well, now's your chance! Here's what you gotta do:

Simply whip up a 760 by 300 banner, upload it to a website like Photobucket, and link to it or post it here!

Just make sure it's EXACTLY 760 pixels wide, and no more than 300 pixels tall (Less is fine). Include the blog name and something related to the site, and that's it! I'll download any banners that I like and use them sometime in the future.

So then, I hope to see some artwork soon!

I think I made something similar quite some time ago, but I guess the duck never accepted it (it wasn't that good anyways). I think Ima make a better one, my skillz have gotten better.
PS: 10th post, woot!

I went for a simple approach. Colours and background can be negotiated upon:

I'm guessing you like the banner. The idea with the sunglasses just struck me as I read your first post in this topic, I was like: 'Banner... hm...'

Well, the faces are kinda running off the edge of the banner, you know? With some resizing a repositioning, it could be great.

You should also gradient blur the edges of duck or put a border on it, it looks kinda out of place to me...

Nice. But is it just me or does Mario's legs look like they're in really awkward positions?

Oh and nice fire effect, but Mario loks like he needs some anti-aliasing works around some places.

As I said, I threw it together :P Sorry, next time I'll try harder :)

Also, I used the Mario from Brawl picture... so blame Sakurai for the legs :P

Nope, I'm way too poor and I don't like illegal downloads like that/cracking the 30day trial etc.

I wish I did tho.

Yea, I use to use GIMP as well. But I found it unnecessarily difficult for some reason, and eventually I went back to PDN. :D Much more simplier. For me, anyway.
