    I like it. You included all three trilogies and TCW. You've got my vote

    @Billyjeanplxiv I like it but could improve it by making Captain Rex Phrase 2 or "clearer". Shift Anakin over and make Ahsoka phrase 2 style (ie. S3- 5 Ahsoka.) One other thing NO R2!

    It might look a little messy in the left corner. MODS any advice on this? It's a bit difficult to do with that corner.

    I did a test and the lower half (from the top of Padme's head down) will be obscure, while the edge of the JCF logo will reach to Mace's outstretched hand.

    If working in photoshop, might want to have a layer as a guideline marking the placement of the logo and a horizontal line going across to mark where the page content will cover over. That way you can see which will be visible and what not. The dimensions for that are listed on the opening post.

    Yea, I couldn't figure out where to put R2, the only reason I used phase 2 Rex is because its closer to AOTC which has no representation. Episode 1 isn't used at all, but I can squeeze a B1 Battledroid somewhere. The left is a bit cluttered. Ill probably have to slide Anakin over as you said.
    I'm trying to go for a timeline like device for my banner.

    So this is how it looks right now, before I add anything else. Would anyone like to suggest a character for me to add? (mainly because I'm having artist block)

    I'm thinking of adding:

    B1 Battle Droid
    A City Scape
    R2D2
    Finn/Rey
    Possibly George Lucas.

    WALL TO WALL LUCAS! George as far as the eye can see! Not so much a banner as a cavalcade of Lucas!

    Please do not actually do this as I might force everyone to be subjected to it.

    I made a template that may work great for people in this contest. This is what I'm using to make sure my art doesn't get covered up:

    Heres the URL to the file!


    The white spot is the "safe-zone". Hope this can help some people in this contest and if someone can test this, make sure it works and give approval, that would be awesome!

    Just a comment.

    Noticed this ad....wished I had more time..and more SW's ready resources..would like to try this.
    But,,am working and rendering almost non stop on 2 video animation shorts...

    "Time is the fire in which we burn"

    I just cannot take on any more than I got. Have not done a banner or header in quite some time.

    Just a tip....SciFi meshes and Foundation 3d, may be good places to post for non-paid....lots a SW's fans there.
    Just saw a bunch of recent 2d-3d SW's imagery.

    Best of luck and Regards,

    Randal R.

    Hello there. :) I'm just posting my banner project in its preliminary stage for feedback purposes. This is NOT my final submission.

    I'm a newbie at image manipulation, and I noticed others have received advice here. Any suggestions or tips would be appreciated tremendously.

    -I do have images ready for placement beneath the JCF logo. However, I think they might cause too much clutter. Any thoughts?
    -Also, I have something planned for the space between Obi-Wan and Boba.
    -And of course, there will be an image placed on the border of Bespin and Hoth to help the transition.

    [​IMG]

    Please feel free to share any ideas or critiques. Thanks! :D

    If I may ask, is the exact due date for final submissions October 27th?

    I would suggest better transition between the scenes (blend them together), and maybe better blending of the lightsabers (fade them out instead of leaving a solid crop around them). Which program are you using? Photoshop? Gimp? I could try helping you out if you want me to.

    And I think it might be best to try and keep the design area around the logo very simple. Anything too detailed will clutter it and could make it hard to read for some people.
