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

Hi
I think @floramc understood what I'm talking about. The bottom 35px of the Header ( the Menu bar ) is semi-transparent.( div box and text ) So, keep the the bottom 35px of the Header clean of heavy contrasting graphics.

Dave, this was supposed to have a three month turn around. We could choose to restart it ourselves, and then remind Pete.Green
What would be a decent time for folk to get their designs up? End of January?
Copy link to clipboard
Copied
Yes, sounds good and end of Jan should be plenty time for a good little project after Christmas

Thanks Trevor and Dave,
Yeah, I was thinking of starting it back up in January.
Many of us in the office are going on a holiday break, so I didn't plan to get the ball rolling if I wouldn't be around to help out.
If you're reading this, and are interested, feel free to get started on round 2, end of January sounds like a good deadline, thanks for the suggestion. Extendable if necessary, but that's a great starting point!
Regards
Pete

One question I have is --- For round 2 banner design -- Would you prefer a new thread? or separate thread?

Might be easier to keep track of with a new thread, Pete.

Guys, I have a killer idea that is about half way done, so you are going to need to get out your big guns.

Well darn it. All I got up my sleeve is this tiny stick!

Sounds like the gauntlet has been laid down
I'll let my entry from post 139 go forward just to get things moving, but have thought of a much better one which I will do after Christmas. Too much Christmas spirit to work on anything yet - would probably come out upside down !
