FFVII Forum Background Contest! - VOTING TIME!

It's about time I got around to this competition. I know I promised it a while ago...


FINAL FANTASY VII FORUM - BACKGROUND CONTEST


Rules:

  • The background must be 1152x864 (this may change)

  • Try not to use images from AC, DoC, BC, or CC.
    I would prefer the images to be related to FFVII - the game.

  • The background will be one of the first thing a person notices when entering the forum, so make sure it appeals to everybody! We want to attract people to the forum, not scare them away. Use common sense here - Don't use themes that will appeal only to one gender or a small group of people.

  • The background must be simple. Don't use over-the-top colors or too many images.
    I would also prefer if the background stuck to a central theme and one/two color schemes, so that it doesn't draw attention away from the forum itself.
    (Here are some examples of what I mean: XBox 360 forum and FFVII forum example).

  • This contest isn't only for graphics makers. I want to include everybody. You don't need to have great graphics skills - If you have an idea on what you would like to see in the background, then quickly mock-up a version in Paint to give us an idea on what you want to see. Who knows? Other members might like your idea too. And if it gets voted for, then a "proper" version can be made.

  • The deadline is April 1st (though it may be extended, if requested).

    Judging:

  • Since the forum members will be the ones looking at the background, judging will be done by a public vote.

    - - -

    If you have anything to add or ask, then please say so. ^^

    The deadline is March 25
    That wouldn't have anything to do with a certain game being released on that date, would it?

    re: FFVII Forum - Background Contest!

    I was about to have a shot at making something, but I just noticed the canvas size is ridiculously big. If it's only going to be seen on the top and bottom, why does it need to be so massive ?

    edit: Having a little bit of a fiddle, I came up with this:

    The size makes it a bit tedious, but if we could place it properly it'd look a little comething like this:

    http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/8122/previewbr3.jpg

    Is that too loud for what you're looking for or? I made it so heavily blurred so it was somewhat in the background.

    Oh, is that what it looks like on smaller screens? Oh poo. It looks like the image is either going to get cut-off by smaller screens, or the image will double-over on bigger screens.
    I've picked an in-between size for the competition, but if it ends up looking odd then I'll just get the inner's entry resized. ^^

    This competition isn't a failure, Ray

    I know you secretly love the turd stripes. I picked them just for you

    I don't normally enter these sort of competitions for my own reasons, but since I was did have some free time, I figured I'd whip something up.

    Kingdom Hearts 2 was definitely not on that list.

    re: FFVII Forum - Background Contest!

    I think I'll be a bit lenient on that rule since we don't seem to be getting many entries. Tbh, we need all the entries we can get. XD
    Though I prefer if people stick to FFVII images.

    I might whip up an entry in the next day or so.

    I predict many Chocobos. Many, many Chocobos.

    Not really. I have an idea. A unique idea. And I will kill anyone who does something similar.
