Theme: Okay, it may be a horrible thread title, but a fairly cool theme. Create a banner from a word (not like the adjective theme, you physically put the picture in the word). For example, if I picked the word "Film", I would put a film-related picture behind (or in, whatever you prefer) the word "Film". Got it?
You can't pick: Fire.
Deadline: 08/07/10 at 11:59 P.M., EST. Week 230, and the Poll for Week 229, will be up on the 9th.
Rules:
General:
•A new contest and a poll for the old contest is posted every Monday (give or take a few due to timezones).
•You may not vote for your own entry.
•Gimmick accounts cannot submit entries.
•You may not post just to list the people you voted for; you must provide some additional content, such as your reasoning for voting as such.
Submitting Entries:
•You may send in entries until the poll is up.
•Once you have posted an entry, you may only make minor changes to it. All such minor changes must be okayed by a contest moderator.
•Entries that don't fit the theme are not allowed, unless allowed by the moderator.
•All entries should be made in full by the submitter. This includes resizing
•Your entry can only consist of one banner/avatar/wallpaper, unless otherwise specified. No rotating banners, no sets.
•All entries have to be created for the contest; you cannot submit something you made for some other purpose.
•You may use non-magic art as long as the contest doesn't say otherwise. However, you must post a link to the original.
•If you have any question about whether your entry falls within the rules, please PM one of the moderators about it before posting the banner.
Schedule:
•Every week that ends in 0, we'll have a wallpaper contest.
•Every other week will be either an avatar contest, a banner contest, or both.
Banners:
•Banners cannot be larger than 600x100 or 450x150. They can be no smaller than 300x500 or 225x75. Given the theme, the sizes can vary.
•Banners cannot be animated unless the theme states otherwise.
•Animated banners cannot have a file size greater than 500 KB.
Avatars:
•Avatars must be between 50x50 and 100x100 pixels.
•Avatars may be animated.
•Avatars must be usable as a forum avatar. This means that they should be less than 40KB in filesize.
Wallpapers:
•Wallpapers must be between 800x600 and 1280x1024 pixels; no smaller or bigger.
•Wallpapers cannot have animation.
Trophies:
•People who have won sufficiently many weekly contests will get a trophy (or multiple) for their efforts.
The first trophy will come at 5 wins, the second at 12, then 20, then 30.
If and when somebody surpasses the 30 win mark, we will make rules for larger sums.
I like this, I hope I can come up with something interesting.
Aight kiddies. Here is my post. I don't know if you will get it, but I'll post it anyway.
My original Idea was actually something like "Word to yo Mogwai" But it was the same style everyone else was doin. I didn't really like it. But I dunno about this entry either not a lot of work, but I like it.

Megabug: You're meant to pick a word (in your case, Ravnica), then put the picture IN the word, not behind it. You can fix that whenever you'd like to.
Minaru: I like it. But, you can't do an Animated Banner (for now -- hint at next week?).
Finisher: Mhm. You could pick Unicorn and put a Monkey in/behind if you wanted to.
Alright I deleted my post I think I'll pick a new word.

Had a tough time deciding whether to use full color or sepia tone to the final product. Ended up deciding to go with full color...even though Sepia was a close second choice I hate these kind of decisions. Too tough to make at times.

Nice entry WXP, I think the colored version looks best.
Thanks a lot
It was tough for me to decide but I agree
The word/art pops much harder in the color version

Oohh thats nice.
@Piet: An ambigram would be awesome.
by that i mean, all you photoshopers, just use a Layer Mask with the word as the only thing white in it and youll be fine.
Now to pick a word...
[ - Place holder - ]
The image is in the Word... but outside of the word is a low Opacity of The full image of the Lotus that i drew.
the Lotus i drew is also attached.
you should be upgrading lol...
its not like its difficult to come by now a days. and im sure there are mask tutorials you can find for GIMP.
Made by me

Piet: I'm in awe of your ambigrams. I've tried those a few times but just cant wrap my head around it.
