EoFF Classic Banner Competition 2006

[Agent Proto]

Just giving it a shot. I know I have no chance to going far.

I submit to you...the only banner that really matters.

[XxSephirothxX]

needs work, but you get the idea

I'm debating as to whether it needs something on the background or not, I can't make my mind up

Dan, if you gave this the classic blue tint and made it absolutely bustling with overlapping 2D sprites (think Paper Mario 2) it'd be awesome, I think.

Here's a few variations on an entry:

[Shlup]

Proto:

The text in front of whats-her-name's nose is distracting, and her face takes up too much of the image.
The background on "Final Fantasy" is distracting--maybe make it transparent?
The chocobo belly shouldn't be in front of Zell's face.
WTF is that thing right in the middle of the picture?

[Samuraid]

Rye: The right side of your banner is PERFECT. The left side is a little hard to make out at first and may be a bit too busy. Just my 2 cents. Still well made.

That's originally what I was going to go for but then there was the whole lack of being arsed. I'll give it a shot at some point, though.

Olette: getting there XDD

If Doctor Unne does not win, it will be a travesty.

IF Bipper doesn't win, then I recommend it for BoB's Simplified Style.

Rye's, Zeldy's, Proto's are my faves so far, although other people such as Gooey and Olette have ones that could be improved into something quite interesting. Olette - you really do need to focus more on the text. What is meant to stand out in the image is the fact that this is a banner for Eyes on Final Fantasy, not the FF images surrounding it. Make it stand out a little more. This did wonders for Rye's image - although I still agree with Samuraid about it being a bit busy, particularly with the left hand side... in fact, I've never played FFIX and I think that the left hand side pic is an FFIX one and I really can't make it out easily at all because I haven't played that game - maybe you should go for an image that is easier to make out or a bit more simple?

With regards to Zeldy, can you show me what that latest one would look like if the text was moved to the bottom right? Just curious.

Keep it up, folks. Got loads of time yet, and it's great to see how open people are to the feedback they're getting because that's exactly how you'll get your banner into a winner.

[Zeldy]

Fraid' I can't do that BoB, I never saved it as a .pdf. Could someone suggest which characters I SHOULD use instead of "Use others". Ive only ever played 2 Final Fantasy games >_>

[Psydekick]

I cant make banners Does anyone know how you get rid of an images background on Paint Shop Pro 7?

[Dignified Pauper]

thanks for commenting on mine BawB! You must think it's terrible.


*cries in a corner*

[Rye]

Thanks for your comments, guys! I tried making Freya a bit softer and the background around her lighter, to make the left side less busy. I'd rather not replace Freya unless I have to, because nothing else fits good in that area and I'd really rather not put another feathered image there. What do you guys think?
