cool! i doubt if i can create anything as artistic as i've seen on other homepages....

just a clarification: all the contestant needs to design is the actual IMAGE, right? in other words, they won't have to do the swf and all that other stuff, will they?

I would believe it's only images in this one needed. Not flash files necessarily.
Eveyrone doesn't have access to Flash I bet.

Just one question.

Where should the submissions be sent/uploaded?

Post by **Ruroshin** » Dec 4th, '04, 03:17

You don't need to do any flash, you don't need to do all the banner size either.

Just upload to this thread as an attachment so everybody can see too.

Post by **jholic** » Dec 9th, '04, 23:30

Pale-MuN: daaang. those banners are really nice. i'm not sure if we would WANT to advertise this after your samples. you might scare away competition.

maybe after i've got all the things on my computer fixed, i'll see if i can embarrass myself and try one.

NatNat · Post by **NatNat** » Dec 10th, '04, 01:00

but that doesn't discourage me from trying (and embarrassing myself with bad photoshop skillz)

Hi. kinda ot but I was wondering if someone can tell me where to get this font???

I think its vladmir script. Been looking for it for a really long time. Can't find it anywhere?

Nice work everyone! I wanna try too.

But I just reinstalled everything on my comp and I can't find my ps cs serial anywhere...

i don't see any free vladimir script fonts to download! try 1001freefonts.com They tend to take real fonts and rename them so that it's not um... infringing on laws or something. Anyway, if you feel like sifting through and finding something similar...

color, eh, pucca? you're right. perhaps something a little bit more subdued?

Sorry i should have explained more...i came across like i didn't like the colors

Besides the colors, I also like the font!

doh! I liked the first one's color but looks like the miscommunication (on my part that is) brought about a new colorscheme...one which i like as well...Good job!

I suck ass at Photoshop because I rarely use it, but I wanted to join in the fun!

Sorry, I don't know how to do neat crap w/ Photoshop and even this banner isn't what I wanted to do....I still don't like it

Alright, syringes

Scyth3r · Post by **Scyth3r** » Dec 13th, '04, 03:38

Also as a general suggestion, I think for those of you putting couples it's better to diversify them or make them a bit more anonymous. For example, I just think specifically of that drama (like Full House when I see SHG and Bi), or k-drama. I don't think of general "d-addicts". Just IMO.

neon/Nat: those were some pretty clever ones. i got the fan-subs one, but i thought maybe you could submit it to SARS or areiacreations.

Yashiro: that's my man! i think i need to recruit a lot more GUYS for this competition. if i let neon, babyguh, and the others have their way, i might have to look at some guy gyrating onstage every time i visit this forum.

it's bad enough they're starting to SHARE AVATARS!!

Post by **MoerkJ** » Dec 14th, '04, 06:14

Good idea. Let's put the 10 best ones into a poll. (A poll can have max. 10 entries, as far as I know).

It would be nice if you keep the banners quite general (not focussed on one actor/actress only), and avoid some difficult to understand symbolism (haha fan+sub was good, don't wanna see gingertoys2 mentioned

) if you wanna win. Hehe, add some hearts and some cute colors that make you go mmmmm.

nice work so far!

Host the image on a freebie server somewhere and link it in

use the IMG tag

Post by **MoerkJ** » Dec 14th, '04, 11:09

ssshhh, don't tell everybody those secrets.

yeah, adding an url instead of the pic should do it.

-thanks neon for liking my previous one...

Natnat, I love your heart fonts! I want some too ;___;

Anyway, it might be easier to see everyone's entries if we had them all in one or two posts as well, so people don't have to fish through 4+ pages to make a vote....

_FlaYer · Post by **_FlaYer** » Dec 14th, '04, 18:33

Hrm, I'm really stuck here. No inspiration at all.
I know I want to use this slogan, as well as the background color ( I think) since it is the same one that's used on d-addicts upper field.

Anyway, I just pasted a pic and made it blend in - but this is just a synopsis so to speak. My real banner is NOT going to have to do with K/J/C/TW dramas/actors/actresses, since I think d-addicts should be the main thing in the banner.
AND to assure people we don't put one drama country before another one.

Ah well, just 4 fun this picture.

Here's a caption for you drug inspired banners

"Ruroshin is my pusher"

"D-Addicts my Anti-Drug"

Other miscellaneous captions

"D-Addicts, there goes your hard drive space"

"D-Addicts, So what if I have an asian fetish?"

"Serving your drama addiction since 2003"

"D-Addicts, The reason your computer is on 24 hours a day"

it's good to see some healthy competition (and funny and creative ideas). and i'm sooo glad that there are some GUYS entering this competition!

kali/MoerkJ: i think it would be nice to have a poll or voting by the general masses, but my only concern would be the temptation to cheat (and not by any of the people showcasing their banner here). but you see cheating for sotw and sotm, so w/ a prize at stake, i would hate to see a great competition marred by cheating.

since there's a possibility of more than 10 entries, perhaps, the fans can vote on which 10 (or five or whatever) will make the final poll. then, the mods can vote on which is the winner. (of course, i'd just ask that there are a fair amount of male and female mods voting - just for fairness and equality).
