Greetings,
As some of you might have noticed, the banner is kinda outdated and should have been replaced ages ago but...whoops.
Anyway, now's your chance to help NSM look a bit better, as we're having a banner-making contest. So, now for the details!
Who?
You.
What?
A new banner for NSM. Instructions:
* Contains the name "NinSheetMusic"
* No reference to the domain for obvious reasons
* 200px tall and 1-1000px wide
* Fades to color #B1C6D6 on the right side for browser windows wider than the banner, this also allows the width to be anything less than 1000px
* PNG format preferable
When?
The deadline is the next Sunday, May 2nd
How?
Return your submissions via email to jarimatti@gmail.com or PM to JaMaHa (http://www.ninsheetm.us/smf/index.php?action=profile;u=1)
Why?
There are no other rewards but getting to see your banner on the page. So in a sense this is more like a call for aid than a contest.
wut, JaMaHa is (halfway) doing work?
SFK is intrested, time to get back on gimp i suppose.
I love this idea :D.
I'm so proud of you guys.
Do you want it to incorporate music and video game elements? Or do you not really care as long as it fits with NSM's style and looks good?

I would say just use your best judgment. The current one has no references to video games, but I don't think it necessarily needs to incorporate music elements either. I think including something related to a piano isn't a bad idea since that's the only instrument we host, but I wouldn't let that hold you back if you've got a better idea.
Great idea, JaMaHa!
There are no official criteria for what kind of themes to include.
:-X
^One of the criteria is that it has to blend in with the blue... so if we were going to change site colours, we'd have to change the criteria... thus rendering a lot of submissions useless.
So I say the submissions should be adapted to the blue, not vice versa.

Ganondorf playing an organ doesn't blend with blue. :(
I don't really use Photoshop very much, but I'll see what I can do if I get a chance. If flashflashrevolution (ddr arrowkeys game) was back online I would go asksome of my friends over there haha.

Who do you know from there? Any oldies that are a part of FFya?
I think it should have most of the main nintendo characters on it, such as mario, kirby, pikachu and samus.
And In the background is a big keyboard

Agreed, maybe we could add Link too? He is also a really important character IMO.
I know, those examples were just a couple. we could also include:
*Banjo Kazooie
*Yoshi
*Bowser
*Zelda
*Donkey Kong
*Fire emblem
and many more.
That's true. At least some characters on the banner would be nice.
*Sigh.... i wish i could participate in the banner.... but sadly i really dont have much time... maybe i can find some openings and see what i could do... good luck to everyone else, though!
Yeah, I'd like to make one too, but this is the busiest part of the year for me, with AP tests and the like.
who won???
Tell us!!!
inb4 nobody submitted
I submitted. It told us to e-mail to JaMaHa. I did. jarimatti@gmail.com, right?

:(
I just noticed. this time is the GMT, so I'm five hours behind. when it was 12:00 on here, it was 7:00 at my place, so that's why my thing was late :( HOW COME YOU STILL AREN'T UPLOADING THE NEW BANNER? WHOEVER IT IS!
Seriously, calm down. The contest ends today. That does not mean the banner will be selected or that it will be put up today.
RAY STOP REBELLING.
Guys, this is Jamaha we're talking about. Not Nakah. It won't get done till about... July or so.

I should of thought of that ages ago. Nakah is a gift to us - he's probably the fastest, most determined, and productive uploader/staff person. I think VgVirtuoso might have better people, though.... I should create a banner for VgVirtuoso! Aha!
Nono, NSM needs you more.
Quote from: universe-X on May 02, 2010, 01:57:03 PMOr is it VGV needs you less? ::)
Quoted because he will delete it in five seconds.
EDIT: I KNEW IT!
VGV's design is already great. NSM is in terrible need of a new banner and has been for at least a year.
I would have liked to make something (my school just started distributing Adobe CS4 for free and I could have played around with a nicer version of Photoshop than what I've had in the past. Go figure they give it to us right as CS5 comes out, but I digress...), but a) like others, I've been really busy during the time of this contest and b) I ain't never got no idea what to make.
ray should post his design here.
Yeah man! Share your prowess with the community.
Quote fail.
Why do you keep giving me reasons to dislike you? Anyways, I would have made a banner but I haven't had time in the last week. Big tests in all my harder classes and a bunch of homework in others. But the real problem is, this would be a valid excuse if:
A. I studied for tests.
or
B. I did homework at home.

that offends me. I think that everything can use as much resources as it can possibly have, even though it may not have a need for it. better safe than sorry. No offense. :P :D :) ;) :D ;D >:( :( :o 8) ??? ::) :P :-[ :-X :-\ :-* :'( O0 >:D ^-^ 0:)

Problem is, I can't upload it to some website. I would need to send it to you guys. and it's a pain to.... hey! Everyone who wants an e-mail of my banner, give me your e-mails!!! Triple Pot! Whoowhoo!
That's enough out of you for the next three days.
Why is an 11 year old even allowed on the internet?
Total Domination.
