Volunteers Crow Posted February 26, 2020 Volunteers Share Posted February 26, 2020 Hello! I'm hosting a contest here on the forums for new backgrounds and a matching advertising banner on Feedback chat. The details of the contest are below. Please let me know if you have any questions! Requirements: Produce an inner and outer background with a matching banner and button color. That's three graphics and a hex code to enter. The backgrounds should be professional and suitable for HTML5. The banner should meet the advertising rules. The dimensions should be as below: 2560 x 1440 pixels or larger - outer background. 728 x 486 pixels - inner background. 728 x 90 pixels - banner. Any color scheme or theme is allowed, but the colors shouldn't be too bright or dark (hurtful to eyes). No silhouettes or squares on the inner background's smiley line. CSS can be used for minor modifications, if you provide the code too. You may post as many entries as you like. Optional details to bear in mind: Feedback is the official chat for users to provide their constructive feedback about xat. The chat is international (all languages allowed). Prizes, prize holder and judges: 1st place - 5000 xats 2nd place - 4000 xats 3rd place - 3000 xats 4th place - 2000 xats 5th place - 1000 xats Prize holder: Four (4444) Judge: Four (4444) Deadline to enter: 26 March 2020 at 9AM BST 3 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volunteers Crow Posted February 27, 2020 Author Volunteers Share Posted February 27, 2020 I'm looking for a banner as part of the entry too @Born I won't be critiquing all the entries, but your backgrounds are too harsh on the eyes, and I don't like the Facebook logo either, as it's very likely copyrighted / trademarked. Thank you for your time though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volunteers Crow Posted February 27, 2020 Author Volunteers Share Posted February 27, 2020 As specified in the requirements, I'm looking for backgrounds without silhouettes or squares on the smiley line. @theFlower The reason is because the Flash icons don't match up with the HTML5 ones, so the backgrounds are going to look bad for some users. And I'm worried about the HTML5 chats adding or changing icon positions in the future as we approach the final months of Flash. But thank you for all the entries and your time! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the sunset colours and it's not too plain. I don't particularly like the font though. Anyway, I don't want to be critiquing designs while the contest is open. Part of the fun is being surprised and letting the entrants decide for themselves! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volunteers Sydno Posted February 27, 2020 Volunteers Share Posted February 27, 2020 As a neutral spectator and past host for this type of contest, I would like to remind contestants that quality is more important than quantity and that rather than fighting for a text font or color or style, they should aim to meet all the contest requirements. Reports should be made in private to the host. Last but not least, good luck to everyone, I hope some other designers try their chances. Nota bene: my comment does not require to be replied to. 1 3 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advanced Members Leandro Posted February 27, 2020 Advanced Members Share Posted February 27, 2020 I must say the backgrounds already posted here are absolutely marvellous.

Advanced Members Ethan Posted February 28, 2020 Advanced Members Share Posted February 28, 2020 Not to be rude or anything but you're just making a bunch of backgrounds with no quality.. I wouldn't consider myself a designer for adding some text and doing some little edits like that. Sorry if this creates drama 🙏🏻 3 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
