There is no competition, so all banners submitted will be used in random rotation as per the current ones in their designated month. You can create as many banners as you like and if you want to make a banner for all 3 rounds you are of course free to do so
Design instructions and how to submit your banners are below the theme details.
February Theme: Valentines colour palette challenge Deadline end of January
Create a banner that uses "traditional" valentines colours - reds, pinks, floral patterns. You can use manga panels of wholesome scenes, or go against the grain and make visually pretty pink valentines banners using the most violent scenes from Ginga. Follow your heart <3
March Theme: Human characters Deadline end of February
For this theme, your banner must feature a human character from any of the Ginga series. It can be just humans, or humans with dog characters. Eg Gohei with Riki & Gin, Daisuke with the Star sibs, Otto with Roku from Ginga Shounen Densetsu Dog Days etc.
Banner Creation info/rules:
Design your banner(s) at 1,800px wide by 394px tall at 72dpi.
- If you have photoshop/GIMP, you can download a template here. Updated with old and new logos 2021
- If you use any other program, here are the Ginga Board Logo downloads: Original Logo + New Blue Logo
- The logo does not have to be centered horizontally, it can go anywhere in the space as long as the size stays the same. You are allowed to alter the colour.
- There will be a credit box added with your name to either end of the banner where space allows (as the current banners show). Please be mindful of this and make sure you leave space at one end.
- You can use images from the Free Image Gallery/scans of your own or draw the characters yourself. If you draw it yourself, you may include your artist signature in the corner, but otherwise please design the banner free of any text.
Submit your banner design by uploading it to a hosting site like imgur and posting it in a reply in this topic.
Please save your file as a high res JPEG or a PNG.
