Christmas Banner Competition - Win £10 to spend in the Shop !!

Hi,

It is that time of the year again when we ask you all to create a banner for the top of our site.

There will be two winners this year and their banners will be rotated at the top of the site over the Christmas period.

The competition is open to everyone and starts now !!

Please post your entries to this thread using this template (Please do not enlarge or shrink the template, it must remain 980x140 to fit correctly).

The competition closes on Sunday 8th December, so you have just over a week to get you entries in.

I will then run a Poll for you all to pick the lucky two winners !!

Good luck

Oh and if no one enters then the new competition banner that I have put up will stay for the whole period !!

I know art was never my strongest point.

Just waiting for Sir Gammy's entry now :-)

was just thinking about gammys banner, wonder how old he is ?

Errrmm….. Would you believe 7 and half…ish

Hi Rich,

Your asking the wrong person because I did away with Windows years ago and use a Mac !!

I use Sketchbook (Pro) and the built in Mac one.

From what I remember MSPaint is naff.

Ok, so I'm not that much of a "pictures" guy. More into graphics. Took me oven hour to make these, I later popped them into Photoshop and made a few options. I'm sure there's one that every single one of you guys will like!

Cheers!

Number 4 from Arf gets my vote so far.

I disagree with 'smudger' for once!  

It's No.1 from 'arf333' but someone would have to blend out the purple van on the right. Doable but not a five minute job.
Then you have all the Christmas colours using a Tin top in silver, a Cabby in white with the top down and a red one with the top up.  

Well it's just a thought but whatever, nice effort Chris!  

All are a good effort Mike but not for the first time you are wrong

Hats off to everyone who gives this a go. I just don't have the computer knowledge to do something like this.

Seriously, I do tip my hat to all the designs!  
Well apart from the crapolie I did but then what else can you expect a Computer 'Sys Admin'??
