***Voting for Round 2 has CLOSED! Congratulations to Matt Cannon View the submissions​!***

Hi all,

Round one of the Forums Banner Challenge was awesome. Congratulations to the winner of the last round -- Trevor.Dennis​​, and well done to all of the other entries. Incase you missed it -- Check out the first Banner Challenge​!

It sounds like you're itching to get going again, so let's kick off Round two!

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

PSBannerChallenge-wide.jpg

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 or so months and used in the Photoshop forums.

Use the above template design as a starting point for your designs which will help you position your imagery so it won’t be covered by the forum's CSS banner elements:

Image dimensions: 1150px ×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 we'll select the winner around February 2017. The chosen winner's design will be featured in 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

Does JIVE limit the number of times a person can vote?

Good point. IIRC, only one vote. I'm going to do a bit of testing.

Edit: After some testing

  • You are limited to 10 poll choices
  • You can vote only once
  • You can upload multiple images to each poll choice

So Jive polls may not be a good option unless the banners are narrowed to 10 picks first, and one vote is adequate. Sounds like Pete's current set up is the best option.

Here is my first design for the second round...hoping to squeeze in a few more before the end of the submissions.

I decided to go with an organic abstract pattern, with bright color.

I went for a clean, simple iconic look for my entry. I wanted to reimagine the Photoshop logo as a realistic boxed product filled with helpful information (representing the forum) inside. I used the PS loading screen as the information on the side of the box. I also incorporated Adobe branding as well to leverage the brand itself and bring more color to the banner.

Hi all,

Just a heads up that I'm soon starting the voting process (next day or two), so if anybody is working on any entries they'd like added to be voted for the next Photoshop Forums banner, now would be the time to submit!

More info soon.

Regards

PG

If we quote Pete's post with the links when we bump the thread, that will keep the links near the Latest Post.   46 votes cast as I type this, and it's getting interesting now with #1 and #9 equal with ten votes each, so keep those votes coming.   The entries  and results so far

Interesting.

I normally get a lot of emails from the ACP list, but this thread ONLY came to me today with Madison's comment: "Benjamin covered it perfectly!"

I had not clue what she was talking about so I looked and found all of this discussion on banners that completely passed by me.

No clue as to why I received no emails on this subject.

Yes - do a round three in the future.

For another friendly challenge how about something in the lines of Steve Caplin's (How to Cheat in Photoshop) Friday challenges - where he posts an image with a challenge - the last was drain the water from a Venice canal, previous week a courtyard with the challenge to add a pool.  Some results are off the wall.
