That's right, this weeks theme, chosen by none other than Topher, is to create an avatar and a banner using the card avatar and banner templates. You're free to make anything you want as long as it's based reasonably on these files. Now, hop to it!

I notice that there aren't any avatars included?
Also, contestants should feel free to use the Old-School templates as well.
Sounds like a pretty fun theme. Hey, where Do I go to get a good quality scan of just the arts of these cards, or do I normally have to spend money to do that?
EDIT: Nevermind, I don't have photoshop, so I can really mess with the images

Nice idea with the ripping and the black and white. Just looks awsome.
On a completely unrelated note: there doesn't happen to be a Photo Elements friendly version of those templates does there? (Elements just flattens everything in a layer set, so you can't actually use most of the templates, just whatever is on top in the set.) I know I'm a little cheep, but I'm working on getting the real thing and elements works for most stuff.
See what I mean about it giving the contest theme creators an unfair advantage?
Also, when I checked it didnt say an avvy AND banner, and it didn't say it had to be USING those. Therefore I won't enter. It's a dumb theme that will be won by topher.

I don't know. FPM's is pretty damn nice.
Doesn't change the fact I'm not entering either though.

Or could it be that Topher's professional graphics job gives him a bit of an edge :o? I'm kidding with you ;); as I said, if winning streaks seem to be a problem, we'll discontinue the winner-creates-the-theme deal.
Also, when I checked it didnt say an avvy AND banner, and it didn't say it had to be USING those.
Thing 1: I never edited the requirement :eyebrow:; when you checked it was the same as it is now. Thing 2: Even so, DB and I reserve the right to change or clarify the theme when neccessary.
I'm sad that you two won't be entering, CharlieD and Forgotten_hope :(.

I noticed that. I use Photoshop Elements 2.0, and can't open the layer sets (that's why I had to use the default multicoloured frame).

hey um lemme get this straight... we can make it ABOUT card banners and avatars and it needen't follow the normal avatar and sig dimensions? nad btw i need a Large img of the new Kird Ape. Edit: wtver, so i made an entry... not exactly as i wish... iw nted Kird Ape to smash a avatar and this IceApe to drag in a new banner! lol... so yeah. someone answer my question plz_?
So...What's up with the size requirement? I really like Gray's, but it doesn't fit right. If it's being allowed as is though, there's a lot of creative things you could do.
Umm... no, Gray's doesn't fit the requirements. We're back to the good ol' 600x100 px banners. The mega-bleed images were only allowed that one week for the Un-theme. Once DB and Nex3 get here, I'm 100% sure that entry will be disallowed.

I don't care if I was framed for murder if I only got a warning I would let it go.
The templates are 1200x200... After flattening your layers, you should resize it to 600x100.
Looks like they're getting added!
That would be the theme of this week... Card Avatars and Card Banners.

@DB: Sorry :p. I guess our timezones just work out that way...
@Krashbot: You don't have to use the template, but your result should be recognizable as a card avatar.
@FPM: Nice.
