2022 Q4 Banner Submission Themes

Post by Arano »

For inspiration, see our banner design archive.

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.

October Theme: It's SPOOKY SEASON!
It's Halloween month so this is a completely open theme for you guys to make banners of:
Dead Ginga characters, bonus points if you bring them back zombie-fied :bella4:
Bloody battles and gruesome injuries :OUT:
Ginga Trick or Treat: Ginga Characters in Halloween Costumes / playing tricks on each other :orion3:

November Theme: Takahashi Crossover
What would it look like if Gin met Yamato? Or Akakabuto fought Hougen? Choose 2 of Takahashi's stories and depict characters of your choice from each story interacting with each other.


December Theme: Wholesome Holiday theme Deadline end of November
This is generally an open theme where you can use any characters from any Takahashi manga you wish. The only requirement is to use images of characters in happy/funny/peaceful/content moments! Christmas or Winter decorations for the holiday season is encouraged but not a requirement :)

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. Updated with old and new logos 2021
  • If you use any other program, here are the Ginga Board Logo downloads: Original Logo + New Blue 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.
How to submit your banner design:

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.

Ooh, these are great! I wanna try and see who all I for sure recognize in that 2nd one:
SPOILER
I know Hougen and probably Genba are both in there but I can’t tell which is which without a clear look at the ears lol

Hope it's not too late for October! :bella4:
I have two versions of my submission, either one can be used because I wasn't sure about the GB logo!

Hey guys just a bump on this topic as so far there are no submissions for November's theme! If the theme isn't vibing then it can be an open theme instead :)

I wasn't sure if this banner would fit the theme but this was actually the first banner I ever made back in 2020, but failed to upload it properly!!

What if Chutora was there to fight Hougen instead of Kurotora? I love the idea of Chutora maybe having a heroic death against Hougen, and being able to save most or all of his sons in the process. Instead of Shigure being the sole survivor, maybe Chutora serves as a distraction and gives up his life for his children to get the backup they needed at Mutsu. I can also see Kurotora being there fighting with him, and him being the one telling Akame to take Kuro away so he could save his younger brother and sons. I feel as if this would be a much better end to Chutora's story than we got, my boy deserved better. :chutora:
