maybe after i've got all the things on my computer fixed, i'll see if i can embarrass myself and try one.
Banner Link competition **Deadline - Jan 10th 2005**
Pale-Mun, you made borders fine on your other banners? Anyhoo, when you're done with your banner just go to edit >> stroke, choose a size & color. Play around you can stroke it a couple of times to make it look nice as well.
Lovely banners everyone! I love how you cut yours, pucca. Sana, I like the tv!

i don't have the patience to learn photoshop or any banner making software, but i do have some captions for the ppl that wants to get into the competition. mayb some of these will inspire u to make really good captions:
have words like love/hate/betrayal/loyalty scattered in the background, if u could find fonts with wheels or something for those words, that would b better, and then have something like this for the caption ==> Hop on for a dramatic rollercoaster ride.

Come to where all the dramaholics unite. or
You've found the dramaholics' hideout!
Come in for the dramas, Go out with a smile. or

Don't click here, unless you're prepared for addiction.
that's it for now.

osora: "dropping gpa's since 2003...." you're killing me. that was a really good one. glad i graduated before that!
everyone came out w/ some creative banners. i'm glad more people (ie GUYS) joined the competition. good luck to all of you. i don't envy the mods at all - they're gonna have a tough time choosing.
kali: looks like you got that ava going!! great captions.
MemeX: i really liked that second one (lips). whew~!

Welcome to d-addicts! Hope to see your work soon! I think everyone's work is great...i'm sure there's more to come...good luck. In regards to your blinkies...the only thing specified was the dimensions of the banners so why not include them...maybe keep the pdf file of it in the event you need to omit itArtemis wrote:I think I might join this competition. It looks like fun and it also looks like you guys are having fun with it. I'm not all that great when it comes to PS, but I'll try.
Also, would it be okay if I made some blinkie
BTW, this I believe is my first post here. I'm pretty new to the forum.

it's too confusing 4 me too.. I only use it to do the background and the rest I do it with ulead photoimpact, my fav... I'm so lazy to learn photoshop right now, and it's so complicated.Pale-MuN wrote: xD lol, thank you very much~~ I think the other people are awesome though.

thanks grasshopper~~
ah, guys. photoshop is a HUGE program. the more you play with it, however, the more you learn. So don't let it intimidate you and experiment with images... see what you come up with. I think I've been messing around on Photoshop for like a couple of years now and have only scratched the surface with what I could do with such a powerful tool.zaza_tk87 wrote:it's too confusing 4 me too..

Wow very good banners everyone. I wish I could produce something like that but before learning the tools I also have to grow up the kind of imagination needed to make those banners. Well on the other hand I would rather like not to see any actors/drama/country specific graphics on the banners. Better something general-but don't ask me-told you lack of imagination. I don't know where these banners gonna appear though. If they are for other Asian related content sites it's fine to say just "your portal to drama" or something like that but mind that if this banner is aimed for more general sites, you should specify the content of d-addicts. Maybe something like "Ever dreamed to go to Asia? -> Free tickets at d-addicts" lol... whatever. Good job everyone.

pucca: i thought a vertical banner was pretty creative. no one's come up w/ that yet.
NatNat: i didn't get to see the one before you edited it. but that finished product looks really good. with an animated gif banner, you can really do something with the captions.
here's a really corny one:
broadband connection ... $50
dvd burner ... $70
160gig hard drive ... $80
spending most of your day making friends w/ others that love asian drama .... priceless
there's some things money can buy. for everything else, there's d-addicts.

I believe Ruroshin's first post of the thread has the dimensions. oh...nevermind...i get your question now...it says no restrictions except for naughty pics...make some sizes you want and if it get's picked great job!tracy wrote: also does the banner size have to be the one's posted? or can it be any size we like?
Thats true indeed... but the purpose of having banners is to get people to host them eventually. If they are odd sizes it can be harder to get sites to host the banner links.puccakiss79 wrote:tracy wrote:it says no restrictions except for naughty pics...make some sizes you want and if it get's picked great job!
For the competition itself i doubt it matter.
The standard banner sizes are in the very first thread post made in this thread.

Maybe one of us should start a new locked sticky thread just to list everyone's entries, and just have the discussion here?
Actually, I can work on that later on tonight or tomorrow if it's ok with the mods. Things would be the same, like posting the banners and discussing here, but the entries would just be all posted together on one page in another locked sticky. Does that make sense?

Okies guys....I made another announcement thread with all the entries on one page and they are sorted by nick. I thought it would be easier to see all the entries rather than fish through so many pages here. I think I got everybody's...hopefully I will move future entries there too if it proves to be more convenient. It doesn't change anything for this thread since the other is locked. So, go ahead and keep posting here
neon: thanks for compiling the entries. it'll make viewing a lot easier.
glad to see so much participation. since i suggested the competition, i thought it would only be fair that i submit something, so i worked on one over the weekend. after seeing some of those entries, i think i'll submit mine ANONYMOUSLY!
it was hard enough to re-learn photoshop, but now some of you are using that animated gif or flash thing. got no idea how to do that!

So like I told another person inquiring about the sizes, make banners in sizes you want (in fact i think someone already has) since the restrictions stated so far are just for naughty pics, but if it is decided that the judges will choose among the standard sizes I would hope to see more entries from you in those standards because your banner is great. Beautiful job, i can tell you probably can make some awesome backgrounds with those skillstechie on page 8 wrote:

As per jholic and Sana's suggestion, people can enter anonymously by PM'ing me their entries. I'll then post them under "anonymous entries" so people can see them but not connect a nick to them. If any of them win, of course the nick can be revealed later and they can claim their prize. I'll keep record

The pictures used in this banner were from clip art sites that allow them to be used in graphics took a bit longer to come up with the concept, but i'm satisfied w/ the outcome. I think I will include pics from dramas in my next banner tho
ADDED:
slightly different per request ^^....thanks for the suggestions.

very nice pucca, i'm guessing the concept of ur banner is...DRAMAS FOR ALL SEASONS? or something like that?puccakiss79 wrote:

with some of the other banners, i can't really see the words D-Addicts. mayb it's just me and my semi-colorblind eyes though.

It started with me wanting to remind ppl of the beautiful cinematography of asian dramas. it just looked better with ALWAYS there, and I couldn't think of anything else to put, but it works =)kali4niaguy wrote:pucca, i'm guessing the concept of ur banner is...DRAMAS FOR ALL SEASONS? or something like that?

iceberri, that was beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love it.....i hope that doesn't get disqualified...iceberri wrote:Hmmm, I wasn't going to participate at all seeing how many awesome entries there are, but I figured it's easier to enter and not judge, than judge this darn thing! Believe me when I say that I didn't mean to enter this competition -- I was merely trying to make a graphic for the "merry xmas" thread, but somehow I ended up making something more appropriate for the banner thread than the merry xmas thread. Oops. I get carried away like that. Anyways, this is the result of about er, 30 minutes of inspiration....
For reference on what the original looked like:
By the by, is my entry even void because it's a graphic and not a banner? It's not like it can be used anywhere on the site anyway.... Feel free to nullify this entry... I didn't enter it to win the prize anyway. It just sorta.. happened.
if anything, you can use that for your xanga....
and here's the banner that i was too afraid to post up....it's pretty bad compared to all of the ones that you all made.....but i really wanted to be a part of this competition, too~ i had a blast with photoshop...........
*edit* guess my borders aren't showing up against the gray background of the forum. lols
*sorry that this one is so big~!! i already resized it from 900 X 431 pixels. i tried resizing even further ........but I could hardly make out Song Hye Gyo's face after resizing it again. so i just kept it after the first resized changes. this one would probably be disqualified, eh? lols

Very nice, Pucca. Just wondering, mind disclosing what site you find these clip arts from? On a lookout for nice looking cliparts, stock photos for some personal flash projects I have in mindpuccakiss79 wrote:
