TANX banner competition
ok TANX-sters...  lets see how good this gets...
only a few simple guidelines to follow here...
the best design gets...ummm I dunno..?:|
  maybe FlyOrDie will accept it as one for use in banner exchanges of some kind...
the important thing is..   have a good time with it  :p

(1) any banner submitted must be the standard size 
468 x 60 pixels

(2) it must be TANX related.

(3) you can submit as many as you like.

here is a simple banner I designed as an example of size and content..

so fire up those image editing programs and rock n roll...
  
if you need a image hoster site to place your work on for posting.. here are 2 that I know allow hot-linking of images:

Sorry for being off topic, but Ghost is there any time I could speak to you in Tanx regarding those Flash buttons and whether my current solution will work for this?

(this one took some time)


GHOST'S second 3rd attempt seems to be the best so far in my opinion ;)
i've noticed that all the good banners so far have not been marvelous designs ...but they are effective , you need to go with the "windows 95 paint" look  :p lol :D
HMMM this is probably my best attempt ...so here goes..:D

ok so...
this one is way out of the size specs 
indicated in my first post...

it is a standard size for a banner called "LeaderBoard"  :D

I had a lot of fun makin this one...
bannermaker pro crashed on me on the first attempt.....
just as I was saving it :(   
had to re-do the whole thing over again
it was a blast anyway  :p

cheers
GHOST MP  

ahhh thats program makes wonders ...ahhhhh banner maker pro ...ahhhh lol :p
its a good program ;)
Da Master, your TANX picture is great! I think it might win. Just use some brighter green colors. The tanx pic to the left looks like a heart.
That was just a taste...
There's another on the way...

It looks like a heart because i cut out the black background to try and blend it in more.

Thanks for your comments, i will overlook them and try to make my image better.

Thanks,

Da Master 
This one took a lot of work to get the file the right size to work right but I got it. Its not as good as the bigger file but its pretty good.I'm going to try and add a fram or 2 to it later.

hey Mr Bluze, I liked ur graphic, and don't worry bout spelling, we all do that:p I think u did a great job!!!
I cannot believe how popular this topic has become....I am speechless !  :O

(those who know me well...will say 
"yeah..right...sure Ghost") :p

anyway..  this is going great.. 
every single one of these is a work of art...
reflecting the personality of it's creator... 

I'm gonna post one more... 
then take a short break 
(maybe ummm.... 2 days  lol :D )

I can't help but wonder if the people at 
FlyOrDie are lookin in on occasion 
and what they are thinking 
I invite anyone at FlyOrDie to 
post your impressions on all this image insanity 
I would be grateful even 
if they took a brief moment to do so  :p
keep up the great work..

no sorry Mr. B
based on that address (of the image)  it appears it's on your hard drive..  you would need to place it on a hoster like PhotoBucket 

http://www.photobucket.com/
 

and then hot link it over to here that way.. let me know if I can help
M.A.S.H ..where did you get that animation from (of the tank firing) ??
That was a lot of work TANK_MASTER.
1st i got the link of a move from GHOST and then as i played it on in the window i recorded it to Windows movie maker with my webcam and then made shreanshots of fram by fram with MW Snap 3 and then sent them to my photo workshop. aftre that the banner took 27 frames 1 by 1 to make (That was the ez part lol) and you see what i got from that all. 
If you like that one the next will nock your socks off lol
(if it works right for me)

Sorry this is not quite the right size but it is as big as the animator prog that I have will let image go without blurring
How do you make animations larger without them blurring?
Any help would very much be appreciated.

thats awsome mash;)
but theres just something about it that's not quite right..but i dont exactly know what ?:|
I wish we could all edit our mistakes like MASH :p

I saw that ;\
ahhh it was the font ...
yes that is better nice work ;)
Thanks TANK_MASTER, and Şŋΐρέ  you can edit your pix just by changing them and reposting them on your host site. The change will shows up here.
Is there gonna be some kind of voting to do to decide who will win?

I hope so, voting is the best way, other than the mods all alone by themselves or a single group of people decide it,,,,,
Anyone know?
