Hi all,

We’d like to start an on-going challenge to share your creative talent with others.

Purpose: Create a Photoshop Forums Banner for the Photoshop forums overview page.

Using the template in this post, submit your Photoshop Forums Banner design by attaching your image in a response to this thread. We’ll then select the best submissions and use them for our Photoshop Forums banner image. A new banner image will be selected by an internal Adobe committee every 3 months and used in the Photoshop forums.

Use the attached banner template design as a starting point for your designs and will help you position your imagery where it won’t be covered:

Here's a link to another template, created by Trevor.Dennis with the PS logo, menu bar and text on a plain background to help with design element placement and help you keep everything within safe bounds.

Image dimensions: 1400px ×150px (72dpi)

File size: 30kb or less

File types: .JPG or .PNG

Please keep all submissions Photoshop-related (Photoshop UI is OK to use), safe for work, and use image content you have the rights to (do not use any copyrighted images).

Post your designs to this thread, and check back every couple of weeks where we’ll feature one of your designs here on the Photoshop Forums which is seen by over 35,000 people each month!

Looking forward to seeing what you can come up with.

Regards

Adobe Social Team

When does the competition end and the image get uploaded? Is it at the end of this month?

Hi

A new banner image will be selected by an internal Adobe committee every 3 months and used in the Photoshop forums.

Does this answer your question ?

Awesome! Thanks Barzzeb!

Just note that we cannot change the position of the Follow button, or change the color of the background that the buttons (overview/content/people,etc) are sitting on.

The left side will already have the PS Avatar as seen currently on the overview page, so I fear the Photoshop on the left will be covered up.

Can I submit other designs in the future?

Looks like I'm first. I'm not sure if the whole visiting the site is a game of chance idea will go down, but I liked the dice as a medium for conveying multiple messages. I'm guessing we can have as many goes as we like? Not that I have time to be doing this.

[EDIT] I've simplified two of the symbols for the sake of readability.

Hi

I'm a bit tired of static images (in this context). How about a nice Gif animation of wave bouncing right/left of the header ?

Since we are all surfing with Photoshop, I think the concept could fill the "Blending" ideas of the tools and all people mixing / exchanging ideas in this forum.

I failed to find an example (yet). But some might remember the decorative wave aquarium ??

Animated GIF for a message header, I disagree keep it a static image; there are many visual reasons why static is better, one is, you think everyone looks at the header, when there concern is seeing the Ps icon and usually letting their frustration of Ps out on the forum
