I know imma get hit for this...but uh...plutis..yours isnt valid because it isnt a solid background.....easily fixable....

if you want a pattern..make it on the left side and have the right side fade to the solid color..that'll work...

Dimensions - 700x60 pixels

Blue Daylight Background - RGB 66,119,173
Evening Shades Background - RGB 115, 125, 165

MUST incorporate the words...

WDWMAGIC.COM
An Unofficial Walt Disney World Fan Site
- no other wording!

No Characters of any kind

No Images from other Disney Official or UnOfficial Sites


Banner must work both color schemes, and be the same version of the banner (just different backgrounds).

Must be a "web friendly" format and size. So Compression will be looked at on this one. JPG, GIF, PNG are all acceptable.

Prize could be to run it on the forum for 1 month

So to recap...you will be sumbitting 2 pictures for this one. One for each forum design.

Because of the strict guidelines and the complexity of the contest...this one is going to run for 2 weeks. The contest wil end on July 26th on 11:59 PM EST.

As usual..if we recieve more than 15 entries...a neutral party WILL decide the final ones to be used...no hard feelings...

Good luck everyone...looking forward to seeing the submissions.

And I don't mean to get technical, NowInc :) , but I don't see where it says that it has to be SOLID persay? :) But I'm new and I could have missed it somewhere.

Whew, you are picky!!!

He He, I'm just giving you a hard time, I will adjust it tonight. I just hope I can do it in time. :animwink:

Thanks for the warning, I wouldn't want to be disqualified for that... HEY, maybe that's why MSU didn't say anything to me about it last night... He WANTs me to be disqualified. :D :D :D Nothing like a little husband/wife competition!!!:sohappy:

Well..you are sorta right..i DIDNT put it in those rules (an oversight on my part)..I think i figured since we put the exact color specs for the background i covered the whole "must be a solid color" thing...my mistake..doh!!!

Sorry bout that...hehe.....and MSU probobly didnt tell ya about it cuz he was afraid you would hit him ;)

...I wont be around at 11:59 to close the contest..so if MSU is around i'll have him do it..but if he cant...any submission made AFTER 11:59 EST will not be accepted....hehe..good luck everyone!

At this moment, we're currently sitting on 23 entries, just in case anyone's wondering...

Here are a few 11th-hour issues I noticed that I thought I'd point out. I know it's kinda late at this point, but I was looking at what everyone's posted and these jumped out at me:

CalDisney: You corrected the spelling error in one of your banners, but not the other. If you realize this in time, you should probably make sure that both of your banners are fixed.

WDW/SFOG_Freak: So far, you've posted 2 entries and labeled both as "unfinished." I don't know if this had escaped your attention or not, but at this point, you still don't have a "real" entry. (Hopefully, you found a font that works for you. :animwink: )

DCA Fan: You posted a kick- entry, but you only left one. Where's the twin??

Kelly: You posed links to some banners you made, but never actually posted them. Are you in the contest or not? Might as well enter 'em.

Maria: OK, youve carried out this "I don't know what I'm doing" thing long enough. Time to unveil that banner you've been working on for 2 weeks now--the one that'll just make everybody go " :eek: ". :animwink:

OK, that's it.

SPELLING!!!

Your source material must be from WDWMagic (since i pretty much know all images on the site...i can tell which ones arent from here)

I don't think he'll be around at that time, because we'll both be out. Which by the way totally sucks because I don't think I'll be able to change my banner in time since I'll be at work all day. :( Yikes!! hmmm. we'll see.

I was just double-checking my BG colors and found that the RGB guidelines don't seem to be universal across software. I designed them exactly to regulation in Paint, and found that the figures changed slightly when I opened them in PhotoImpact. I'm not sure how to acount for this (nor do I have time, since I'm about to walk out the door), but I hope too many people don't get burned by something similar to this.

It's cool...

I reworked the first image to get the colors right, but then when I re-uploaded it, it was too large. :hammer:

I think something was lost in the compression perhaps (I'm no expert here). Anyway, I'm at a friend's house now, and his software is limited to MS Paint, so I'm kinda S.O.L. (not to mention too impatient).

My stuff probably won't fit specifications, but c'est la vie. Good luck to the rest.

Ignore my first entry, I checked the EPCOT pic and it wasn't from the website. I don't remember where I got it.

So here is my updated pic, all images from WDWMAGIC.
