Some great designs here. And revolving chrysanthemums! LOL @ Trevor.

Hopefully we can avoid gratuitous animation of the UI, unless it really aids the user experience.

This is an old link but the points are still valid.

No worries about animation. JIVE doesn't support GIF. PNG and JPG can't be animated.

Couple of images that say Ps if you know the app but not sure if this works for the forums! But here goes:

Woah Nancy! Nice design, but you'll start the lads to squabbling again. Dag will get all pedantic about the precise shades of RGB you have used. Prof Norman will be demanding a LAB version. Cactus Flower will start a long discussion about what sort of roses they are. And I'll want to illustrate and animate it.

[EDIT] Updated the graphic to smooth the animation. It's still only 8 frames!

I was just thinking that this thread had got lost and forgotten Sahil. It might be that the people who typically had a go in previous banner challenges, are finding a creative outlet in the Something For The Weekend threads. Can you clarify the cut off date, or consider extending it a wee bit? Pete did that for the last one if my memory is right. Omar's entry is excellent and really works — although I thought I was looking at a flash rack of electronic equipment when I fist parsed it — but it would be a pity for this round to close with only the one entry.

The vibrant color makes it pop out, an eye catching first entry for the challenge, thanks for participating Omar.Fathy and Good luck!

I really like the current banner Sahil. I think it is the most professional of the winning designs to date. It's been up for a very long time though, and I was wondering when we'd see another challenge. Time to start putting some thought into some new ideas. If you are new to this, then it will be highly recommended that you read through the earlier threads, as there is useful information about layout and how to use and interpret the template.We had a lot of fun in those threads. Especially the first one where some tongue-in-cheek animations were put up.

Thanks for the kind words Trevor, that's so generous of you. Looking forward to see what you bring to the table this time around.
