Craven is out of town, so I don't have access to the previous suggestions.
The theme for this week's contest will be amusement parks and/or anything that goes with them (roller coasters, water rides, haunted mansions, etc). Make sure what you pick pertains to an amusement park. For instance, showing rain falling on a sidewalk is not acceptable just because there is water in both. Make both a signature and an avatar. The signature should be 600x100 or less, and the avatar should be 100x100 and 40kb or less.
Only in the avvy. Animated Banner week was last week, and I think it's falling out of favor...it was ony optional last week and only a couple people did it.
after i saw the source it wasn't that impressive...
And..? Do you just have a problem with Charlie or is there actually something to gain from railing on his entry? Sig making is just as much about source selection as source modification.

No i thought it was a great sig. Still is. I just saw the souce and what it looked like and it just let me down a little. Don't get me wrong hes a fantastic shopper.
I actually modified the colours quite a bit on it, added brushwork which is smoothed and dulled, and then did some starbrushes over the top. I did some kind of saturdation effect with a gradient and then did some opacity erasing around that. Then I did highlighting on the jester. After that I added a border, and the subtle-ish "CharlieD" and "Carnivale" onto that.
So yeah, I tried to change it alot, but make them subtle.
@Moxman: Yeah. I've been listening to my old CDs again.
Of all the sets I've worked on since I've been here, this one is my favorite by far. I was inspired by Tirian's entry from the Comic Book week quite some time ago, and I thought I'd take a shot at it. This is the result. The pictures in the pictures are the only source. The frames and everything else was created in Gimp.

You're missing the point.
You can convey movement in the banner, obviously. A scary atmosphere on a haunted house... a sea of balloons, or something.
Stop and think once in a while.
Im pretty sure i think. Im not missing the point. It has to be about an amusement park. You definatly could have said that without the stop and think.
Think before you type.

No, you obviously didn't think about what could be used in the theme. You just jumped to a conclusion of "WTFPLZ ADRERTIZMET?" and stuck with that.
Stop trying to be cool. You know I'm right.
I will try to enter this week. Have missed alot.
Can we have animations or only on the avvy???
