There is no competition, so all banners submitted will be used in random rotation as per the current ones in their designated month. You can create as many banners as you like and if you want to make a banner for all 3 rounds you are of course free to do so
Design instructions and how to submit your banners are below the theme details.
April Fool Theme: Ginga Bomb images/memes/bootleg merchandise!
Last years banners were so good for this month so of course we need to do it again! This month is exclusively for anime/manga bombs, ginga memes and bootleg merchandise. The sillier the better, have fun For this theme you can choose to leave the logo out of your design entirely (or make your own).
May Theme Choices:
Noah vs Hyena: A showcase of the old vs new character
Ginga Densetsu Weed Anime challenge: Create a banner using only anime images from GDW.
June Theme Choices: Deadline end of May
Summer theme: Open theme, just make it bright and summery!
Faction theme: Choose your favourite faction/clan to make a banner about.
Unseen Mothers Theme: Plenty of characters have a Father, but where are all the Mothers?? This is your chance to design what you think a characters mother would look like.
Last minute PRIDE Submissions:
I forgot it was pride month when I originally wrote the themes for June, so please feel free to create a pride themed banner - or re-submit a pride banner you did from last year - by the end of this week and I will add them into the rotation!
Banner Creation info/rules:
Design your banner(s) at 1,800px wide by 394px tall at 72dpi.
- If you have photoshop/GIMP, you can download a template here.
- If you use any other program click here to download the Ginga Board Logo.
- The logo does not have to be centered horizontally, it can go anywhere in the space as long as the size stays the same. You are allowed to alter the colour.
- There will be a credit box added with your name to either end of the banner where space allows (as the current banners show). Please be mindful of this and make sure you leave space at one end.
- You can use images from the Free Image Gallery/scans of your own or draw the characters yourself. If you draw it yourself, you may include your artist signature in the corner, but otherwise please design the banner free of any text.
Submit your banner design by uploading it to a hosting site like imgur and posting it in a reply in this topic.
Please save your file as a high res JPEG or a PNG.
