TRack Event 19 Banner Competition

[Zate]

I need a banner to go in sigs, and into the banner rotation at the top of the site for our next track event.

The banner should be 728x90 pixels.
.gif, .jpg or .png
Animated is ok.
Less than 75k in file size
Contain the relevant info from Scott's post on the front page/News forum

As many entries as you like per person.

Entries will be judged by me (ie i will pick the one or 2 i like).

Prize is free entry to spectate or race on the Track event and a TR Shirt when the next batch is ready.

Have at it. PM me any questions you might have. Keep this thread civil and on topic please.

[.:Chris:.]

Ladies and gentlemen, this is your chance to have your work infront of thousands of people this month. Let's see what youve got. :-D

[Zate]

yes i dont mind if you "sign" the banner somewhere small either with a username or url, long as its small and doesnt detract from the design.

[Hoosier Daddy]

Can I be mailed out a TR Tee? :lol:

I'll add mine tomorrow.

[EroticA]

ill get started. can you give us some info as to what you would like on the banner zate? besides what john has listed on the front page?

There is no hard cuttoff date, when I think I have enough to pic a winner i will choose one (or 2) and close the thread, so get em in as soon as you can :).

Sorry DareDevil, your entry is disqualified because you spelled Bradenton "Motersports" Park wrong. ;)

Seriously though, all of these banners look great. Can't go wrong with any of them IMO.

Hey there pot, let me introduce you to the kettle.... Bradenton has a 't' in it, contrary to the spelling of it in your banner. Not trying to be a dick, just alerting you to the misspelling.

[DareDevil]

:lmao:

ROFL, damn it! Thanks for raining on my parade! http://www.soccerpulse.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/rofl.gif

[EroticA]

hahhahhahah chris got owned after making daredevil feel bad. am i the only one who can spell?

[.:Chris:.]

It's not a question of being able to spell, it's more a question of being able to type and then taking the time to proofread.

It's cool though, DD and I will fix our images tonight and then makes posts like "What do you mean? It looks right to me.. :dunno:" :lol:

[Michael.]

I can spell!!! That was damn funny though :D

[Mars_302]

I rather like daredevils, but the photo is of a different track though ;)

[HonkeyDong]

Where can I get a TR shirt when the next batch is ready...?

[Mama Got Boost??]

LMAO That is too funny.

They all look great. Gonna be a tough decision. Just make sure that the winner is spelled right :)

[EroticA]

i think they should be voted on by people in the PITROAD since thats where most people hangout. and the people who made the banners remain anonymous until the voting is over. seems the only fair way.

Yer' one smert cookie

and it's anonymous LOL

[EroticA]

shh. idk what your talking about? i have it spelled correctly :lol:

[.:Chris:.]

There's no time for that. Zate's going to pick, as stated in the original. Voting could take days, and the whole point of this is to get the word out well before the event.

Time is money!

[EroticA]

ok so make a thread now? i dont more entrees will be in, that way have the poll end in one day. im sure since its in pitroad, multiple people will vote. but w/e just chiming in.

Ultimately it comes down to an advertising decision, not a popular vote.

In any event, I have no idea why people say my banner has misspellings. Looks fine to me! :lol:

[PooN_Lude]

lmk if i need to resize for the final print. Btw- i wear a size large shirt

[IncredibleHulk]

lmao i think hes got it in the bag ^^

[Zate]

not doing voting. We def got some good stuff. I will leave this open a day or 2 longer until i get a spare moment to choose.

[EroticA]

thanks zate. good luck with choosing the winner or two.

[EroticA]

damn thats good.

yako, what programs do you use, to do editing? like the animated ones? i need to start making some stuff for my digital design class.

[.:Chris:.]

http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd120/yakosato/TrackEvent2.gif

You're making us all look bad! :nono:

Seriously though, that's great. I'm impressed that you made all of that fit into 75k of disk space. :nworthy: :lol:

[yakosato]

I used photoshop cs2, It's easy to make using the animation tool. After its done, take it to Image Ready and reduce color/resolution to compress the banner.....and optimize it. You can see that the smoke it's low resolution. I made it because there was some competition going on and I needed to step up my game a little bit more :D

[Zate]

Winners are this one
http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u134/Justdriftinc/asdfsd.jpg

and the animated one above (can I get it as a non animated version as it ends?).

IOU A shirt each and I'll arrange for free entry to the track event, PM me your name so I can get it put on the gate.

Thanks for the other entries guys, I will probably run more comps as we need things. (I do still need a graphics admin who can do all kinds of graphics for TR)

[EroticA]

sweet. Zate, i PMed you all my info. looking forward to the event at BMP

[Mama Got Boost??]

Congrats! Great job.

[yakosato]

I'll do a non animated version at the end of the day tonight.

[.:Chris:.]

Wow, you went with both ends of the spectrum: something visually simple and something visually complex.

Congrats EroticA and yakosato! Will you guys both be at the TRack event?
