Banner Link Competition RESULTS

[Ruroshin]

Ok the moderators are currently judging all the banners that were submitted for the competition (its hard because there's so many good ones) but I want to do this kinda like Kouhaku style where the public vote is counted as 2 judges votes

So list the banners that you like in this topic and rank them from 1 to 10. You don't have to pick 10 but 10 is the maximum and you must rank them so I can assign points to them. I will add up all the points at the end to get a final top 10 public list. That final list will be counted as 2 moderator votes.

Entrants can vote but can't vote for themselves.

Don't create duplicate accounts just to vote, if we catch you doing it you're banned.

Voting will end after 16th January so you have 5 days.

A list of all entries can be found here http://www.d-addicts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=10629

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The results are in. I've added up the moderator's vote and the public voting and the result is:

WINNER
puccakiss79


I decided to have 2 runner ups because it was close.
RUNNER UP 1
Kaitler





RUNNER UP 2
Artemis




Thanks to everyone that participated in the competition. There were many good designs submitted and we will certainly be keeping many of them as official d-addicts's banner links.

[iceberri]

The summary topic is complete I think. I added the rest of the banners earlier this afternoon so I could look at all the banners at one shot.

Oh, I'd also like to point out that you can group a whole set of a person as one entry. Set, in this case, referring to banners that are similar in style, but alter only in pictures/color.

[Carn]

Iceberri, can you number the sets, so we know which ones are which? ^_^

Edit: *blinks* Actually, that's a lot.. >< Maybe that's way too much work.

[NatNat]

can entrants vote? if so, here's are my favorites:

** edited ranked votes **

1.
Yomy Chan


2. Kaitler


3. puccakiss79


4. bluemiruku



5. jholic
**needs to be cleaned up a little but the concept is very cool

[neonkinpatsu]

[kali4niaguy]

to all the contestants, great job. i wish i had the patience and talent to make 1.

1. zaza_tk87


2. puccakiss79


3. Kaitler (i wish this 1 was colored)


4. puccakiss79


5. ShaolinMunky


6. ShaolinMunky (3 cute actresses on 1 banner, y not!???:mrgreen: )


7. techie


8. NatNat


9. NatNat (the font's so drama-ish, had to include it )


10. BlueMiruku (the guy in the pic isn't my cup of tea, but the animation of D-Addicts is really good).


phew, that was a tough choice, hope i didn't put mix up the banner and creator. good luck to all the contestants.

[rivenrock]

There are some great entries. I only voted for my top three, but there were heaps I liked. Some looked good, but I wasn't keen on the slogan. Sometimes it was the other way around. I think Kaitler has the best combination of all the elements: look, 'D-addicts' is easily readable, colour choice, snappy slogan. I really like the slogan 'Got drama?' by the way.

Okay here are my votes:

I have to agree with kali4niaguy - I wish this one was in colour:
1. Kaitler



2. Yomy Chan



3. Pale-MuN



(sorry yangkuang!) I definitely vote against this next one, not because it's bad - it looks great and is well made - but because with the Asian women + pillow + no visible clothes, it looks like a porn site ad:

[NatNat]

(I just hope I didn't mix up ppl's names with the banners.. )

[BT-Slut]

Ruro, I'd like to suggest that the final version used NOT be an animated gif. It's too intrusive and feels too much like an ad banner. It's very distracting to focus on what you want to look/read when there's this dance/flashing banner above.

I'd also like to suggest that the final version used not have actors/actresses in it. Otherwise it ends up looking like another fangirl/fanboy spamming banner advertising for their favorite actor/actress/drama series. The final banner used for the site should be as neutral as possible.

With those two above specifications in mind, there's really only one banner I'd like to vote for:

1. puccakiss79



Pucca's version here is very neutral and not-flashy. Won't damage our eyes while browsing.

[iceberri]

^ BT - I think you made the same mistake in understanding that I did. Up until two days ago, I didn't realize that these banners were being used as advertisement, not to replace the original banner. They're supposed to be links others can use to link back to the d-addicts site, so flashy etc would be, in this case, a good thing. From that aside, I agree with you that I like pucca's banner best. It's so prettiful.

Um...it is an ad banner. This is not a banner to be used by d-addicts.com these are gonna be banners that other people might like to use when they want to link to d-addicts.com.

I see. That makes more sense then. Animate and flash them to death then!

[Kai Lien]

Oh so that's what a lot of people thought! Yeah, they're going to be used on other people's websites to link them to this place. Like the fs seeders or yesasia buttons on top. We should probably pick a few different sizes so that people can choose which ones they want on their site.

Great job, everyone! This was tough but I narrowed my picks, in no particular order:

yomychan


puccakiss79


techie


tracy



starliteddr3mer



kaitler
I'm really curious...who is this person?


BlueMiruku
I looooveee this one. However did you make such a cool gif?!

That scene of SSH with that lolli I could stare at it all day.

[jholic]

man! it WAS difficult to choose. everyone had some great entries. there were some with multiple great entries, too!

animetama:
awesome caption!


puccakiss79:
another great caption with nice simple graphics


ShaolinMunky:
(the font you used made the 'd-addicts' a little hard to read, but who can beat that many captions?)


NatNat:
humor and great animation


BlueMiruku:
this one, or one of your animated ones


Kaitler:
nice and simple


Pale-Mun:
gotta love that font!


starlitdreamer:
a nice simple one


zaza_tk87:
liked the use of the stars, but can't see the middle one


osora:
just funny (tied with neon's, but her's was just a little too outrageous!)

[jlove1831]

I really liked a lot of them, but because I'm really bad at ranking, I chose my absolute favorites (it may not necessarily be because of the drama on it, if any, but because of the colors, haha). Great job, everyone! Here are my favorites:

1. Yomy Chan


2. puccakiss79


3. Kaitler


4. Starlitedr3amer

[jaycee05]

Okayyy, I have to stop looking at other people's votes....dont want my own choices to be biased...

1) Kaitler--although with its bluish color, it might be lost around D-addicts' own BG color, hmn, it depends where it's going to be placed anyway


2) Artemis-C 8)L!


3)Yomy Chan--another great one...


4)Bluemuruku--oh my gosh, I almost skipped this one...


5)zaza_tk87-I love all zaza's work, but this one sort of summarizes all of 'em



6)puccakiss79-the colors and the slogan is wat really got me to pick this one~reminds me of valentines' day,


7) Bluemiruku-big SSH fan eh , it's more like avatar-material...but I like them



8.puccakiss79~even the banner has its own drama ~beautiful blending



9)NatNat-I think Nat's banners are all catchy especially her slogans , I would like to pick that other one which has great text animations "D-addicts, you are not alone, we can help", it sounds like one of those quit-smoking help hotline , guess I better stick with this one


ok, last one...i would have stopped at number 3, I didnt know voting could be this frustrating , but i would like to help the candidates as much as possible for all their efforts...so numero diez...
10) zaza_tk87 - this is one of zaza's first banners and it really attracted me the first time I saw it


Good Luck guys, some of u have extraordinary talents thanks for sharing them with us!

[starlitedr3amer]

1) Artemis did a great job on the graphics in this banner. I noticed how alot of people are missing borders (which "completes" a graphic in my opinion) and how alot of em are pictures cropped with scanlines/grids, I admit some of mine are too it's all good haha. - this one just really stood out to me the most. YAY for ARTEMIS!


2) This one really attracts my eye. It's nice and clean cut and it looks very "CLICK HERE!" haha. I don't know. It just seems so nice, simple, and clean. Plus, there's my fav. color orange Gooooo SNANIME!


3) I like this one alot - it's really cute and creative. Nice job Puccakiss79


4) Kaitler - I like this picture o/t Sangdoo cast lol. It suits the purpose of these banners very well.


5) Puccakiss79 - I love the images used. It's really nice and clean - beautiful! ^^

[kinki]

as a graphic designer i have a different point of view regarding these banners, first of all i will post the banners and explain why i like them.

1. Yomy-chan

i like this banner for different reasons, the harmony and blends of colors. its colorful and dreamy yet the picture is strong and has an impact. the pictures shows our addict on both computer + drama, the tensed hands shows how hard it is to leave the PC since we have another bigger addiction which is the Asian dramas. yes, we are addicted to a dreamy different world, the world of Asian dramas.

2. puccakiss

i like this banner coz of the dreamy colors again. and the concept " Asian dramas for all seasons" is completely True! D-addict was always there to hold us all and celebrate the beauty of Asian dramas! (anyone denies?)

3. starlitdreamer

this is a very nice banner, he/she chose a nice picture also the fact that both characters are looking upward and smiling gives us the impression that we are still looking for more. teh picture is notheless dreamy and catchy!

4. yomy-chan (again)

just look how expressive this picture is! showing him as if he's wiping his saliva shows the idea that we are thirsty for more. (and D-addicts are always there to satisfy our thirst) she did well by cropping the actor's face, i think since its D-addict, so its drama at whole, we dont have to chose our favorite actors/actress and force everyone else to accept them. (sorry but no offense) just a piece of advice, if she change the slogan coz it wasnt very convining for me..

there are many other good banners...but i think some of them miss something, some chose wrong pictures/slogans..some banners looks busy and crowded.



with all my respect to neonkinpatsu i dont agree with you to show drugs or injection coz its misleading and gives a bad impression about D-addict and our addiction. as if our addiction is something bad..specially for parents who complain about their kids spending long hours in front of D-addict might find the banners offending..im so sorry neonkinpatsu im just pointing out at this side coz maybe it didnt cross your mind..

to all the rest, you did a great job! keep up creating nice graphics.

ok voting is over. I'll count them up and announce the winners later today or tomorrow.

[kali4niaguy]

i didn't want to clutter this thread b4, but since voting's over, i'm really surprised there r so few votes considering all the members that d-addicts have. is every1 else still on vacation???

[Ruroshin]

Results are in, check the first post Congratulations to the winners.

[Carn]

Congrats, pucca, Kaitler and Artemis. ^_^ Everyone did a wonderful job, so to be chosen as the top three out of a group of stunningly beautiful banners is simply outstanding. ^_^

[puccakiss79]

Thanks so much for all the votes. Congrats to the other winners, Kaitler and Artemis The contest motivated me to finally check out PS tutorials, i was just too lazy to do it before

[tinhvibanbi]

congrats puccakiss
i think your's the best, coz i normally stick with something simple, and u got it all

[kali4niaguy]

congrats Pucca , when i 1st saw ur banner, i knew it was going to b a contender. congrats to the runners up also.

[LittleGreenGrasshopper]

Congratulations to Puccakiss, Kaitler and Artemis. The contest seems a resounding success with all the top quality entries. May someday, I'll get off my lazy butt, and read those PS tutorials too, Pucca Til then, I'll just be content on viewing all these well-made graphic banners.

[jlove1831]

Congrats to Puccakiss, Kaitler and Artemis! I think I voted for Pucca and Kaitler..but the Artemis one didn't look familiar...I think I might have missed it..but I would would've voted for that if I had seen it (maybe it was because some of the images weren't loading even after refreshing..) >_< Artemis won anyway! So congrats to you 3 great job to the other participants!

[aziatik]

i was just wondering, so what happen with this are they going to be used??

[Ruroshin]

Any site wanting to link to us is free to use them I need to make another topic to hold those that won and those that we want to keep as well.

Btw pucca you still haven't pm me what you want for the prize.

[jenni]

Users have right to choose any banner for the best entry?
