~10m Prize~ Graphics contest
Footy
2012-09-04 20:09:16
Hey guys, I am in need of two banners for my questing service thread. How you create the banners is completely up to you, just make them look nice! After 5 days, I will choose a favorite and award him/her 10m RSGP. One image will be for my signature, and the other one will be on top of the OP on my questing service thread. There are a couple requirements for the images:
- The images must be no wider then a forum page(It cant be so big it extends the villavu page horizontally)
- The images must contain the words: Footy's "Slowly but Surely" Quest Service
And that's all, the rest is up to your imagination! Make it look nice, and put your all into it, only the best one receives 10m. Runners up receive a pat on the back and a "better luck next time!". Begin!

Sounds good to me! Competition extended to monday! @Joey, can you make the words easier to read? Compare yours to Cynic's. :P
I screwed up my crack a little while ago so I am re-downloading PhotoShop for this(and my pending sig requests).
Hope to have it done for the end of the comp :)
