Count me in!

Cool idea.....should be challenging!

Awesome Diva (: Can't wait to see what you come up with.

Skinny · 05-01-2008, 02:32 PM

Just to clarify (sorry for the slowness).

I can only use the pepper (or peppers) as the only image in my banner I can't include any other image?

And I can only choose one banner format with which to enter (i.e. I can't do all of them)?

Skinny

**3ncryptabl3_lick** · 05-01-2008, 02:36 PM

Good question Skinny.

Yes you must use the Bell Pepper(s) in the image I've provided (you can modify them as you see fit) and you can add any other images provided that you own the rights to them either personally shot or purchased from some stockphoto site. And yes you can only choose 1 banner. (hint* I'll give more points to smaller banner entries as there is less room to work with)

Can't wait to see what you got! (:

When you say "No animations."
Nothing can move, the peppers can't move, no flashing text.
More or less a .jpg banner? (you know what I mean)

I'm sorry for being so picky.

**3ncryptabl3_lick** · 05-01-2008, 04:18 PM

Thats right corneo. A straight-up jpg. Nothing moves.

We'll be tackling animations latter (:

corneo · 05-01-2008, 06:07 PM

He did leave a door wide open. Caution, he may ask for donations and call it "dancing for dollars"

corneo · 05-03-2008, 03:48 PM
