Calgary Fan Force Banner Contest. Design the banner for our FanForce Forum.

Here's a contest to help design the page banner for the Calgary forum on TF.N. We're going to run it as we did our Logo, with the winner being decided by popular vote. Now I've heard rumblings that a few of you are are graphic art wiz's so here's you chance to show us what you can do.

The banners on this forum are comprised of 4 separate images below are the sizes for the banners.

This contest will run until June 1st. Please submit all graphics to myself at preluderm(at)calgaryfanforce.com

I will do a mock up of the board entries and post pictures for everybody to see and vote on.

Voting will take place from June 1st to 8th. Winner will be announced at our June meetings which is scheduled for June 10th. Please PM me your vote.

There will be a prize for the winner!
(On that note if anybody has any SW stuff they want to add to the prize pool PM or email me)

Good luck and MTFBWY!!! dancing

Ryan






Below is a bunch of info on customizing the board from the chapter rep forum.



1 : Customizing Images for your FanForce Board
Every FanForce chapter is allowed and has the capability of creating their own customized banners for their local FanForce board. The entire banner concept is created of 4 images. The main banner image (or the foreground image), the background image (that sits behind your foreground image), the curve image and the side image. Each of these have their own custom dimensions.

Default Graphic Dimensions for the Banner System

* Main banner image (foreground) - 764 x 110
* Main Background image - 764 x 110
* Curve image - 69 x 69
* Side Bar image - 32 x 465

The only image that will keep the board in the same shape and not affect anything if you stretch the width out is the Main Background Image. Remember, though - creating a wider image will create slow loading times for your board.

Here are examples of each, taken off of the current Jedi Council banners created by Lord Mauly Mall --

* Main banner image
* Main Background image
* Curve image
* Side Bar image


A few other things to remember -- try testing out your board. You can do this by either saving your board to your hard drive (in Microsoft Internet Explorer, File > Save As) and then editing the image values in the code (see example 1). You could also have someone else do it for you and show you the example (If you'd like, I wouldn't mind doing it ~ just PM me).

Other Images that May Be Customized
Besides the banner scheme, you can also customize the images that appear besides the IGN ads and the Reply image that is shown of the "reply to thread" page. Customizing these images can give your board a total look of it's own, especially if you change the colour schematics.

* Adholder Images (The right adholder image)
These images are 74x58 in size. Remember, there is one to the right and the left. If you're going to angle them, angle them appropriately wink
* Reply Image
This image is 437x88 in size. It may be customized and only appears when someone replies to a topic on a thread in your FanForce board.

I'm NOT gifted at graphic arts or with computers, so I can't compete in this contest.

But I can't wait to see what people come up with!

The winner of the banner contest was Entry #1. Thanks to Jacksonfett on this outstanding entry. It was a close race between entries 1 and 2, but in the end 1 took it.

We'll get it put up soon.
