Do you want to be a part of Dark Future Games? Just want some free miniatures? Want to show off your Graphic Design Skills? Dark Future Games is now searching for a new banner and we are asking our followers for their talent!
.
Not long ago, we switched up our template and when that happened, the Dark Forces of Chaos snatched our banner and cast it into the uncaring galaxy. Well, we found it today and put it back up ... but it just doesn't stand as a testament to where we have come as a blog. We made this using a GW image and photoshop and while we have been proud of it for a long time, we would really love to have a new banner, crafted by one or more followers of Dark Future Games! To do this, we are hosting a contest.
.
"What's in it for me?" You say? Well, we are giving the winner of the contest $25-$35 in GW models of their choice (basically a troop box, current line only - no direct) and of course, they will get to see their amazing banner at the top of this blog for a LONG TIME!
.
There will also be a prize for those who finish second, though we are keeping that a secret for now.
.
The Rules:
.
To enter the contest, you must be a public follower of Dark Future Games.
.
The submission must be in JPEG or PDF format and fit the parameters of the banner space. The current banner is 912x225, but there is room for wiggle.
.
The blog title MUST appear in the image (the blog description is optional).
.
The deadline for submissions is November 26, 2010. The winner will be decided Dec 1, 2010. All submissions must be e-mailed to Dark Future Games at DarkFutureGames@gmail.com and please include your profile name (blog handle ie Old School) and your blog name (if you have one), we want to give you proper credit.
.
When we have all of the submissions, we will post the banners for the world to see and comment on. We will include a link to the designer's blog with each banner so folks can see your site (if you have one). When we choose the winner, December 1, we will also announce the runner(s) up and anounce the prize for runner up as well.
.
We look forward to seeing your submissions and can't wait to see what great, creative work comes our way. If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail us or comment on this post! Let the designing begin!
Ladies and Gentlemen, we also accept any program that is generally openable through photoshop.
ReplyDeleteWe are also willing to kill or alter the blog description, just not the title. All banner sizes are welcome, just dont make it a whole scroll-down page.
Whoops! You posted faster!
ReplyDeleteWell, see ya!
PS: .PNG FTW
Another question:
ReplyDeleteShould the banner be race-related? Any faction in particular? CSM? Any one from WH40K? Something generic?
We have authors here that cover every army with the exception of sisters. I think I have always liked the adept in our logo because it is so ambiguous, but let your imagination guide you.

ReplyDeleteLet's try that again, in english!
ReplyDeleteDo you have a Picasa Album or similar of the DFG guy's armies/models that we, as entrants, would be able to use for this?
Basically, the idea I have requires particular models, and while I don't mind using my own...
Some people prefer images that they own the original rights to.
Oooh, a contest! Exciting stuff, and to think. I still have time to enter too!
