hi,
I am totally new here....but it is so nice to be in a community like this full of nice competitions.....i wish to participate as I could enjoy and make u enjoy my participation as well.....

for your request...r u sure a 120 x 60 is suitable or readable?
please verify....it is not readable at all specially if you will put a huge amount of words like "I am not afraid of competition!"

please verify this...

thanks for this nice site and for your high spirit .....

120x60 is a common size for web ad banners. My question, rinaldidesigns is may we make the 468x60 (the larger banner type ad)? Thanks, I hope I get time to enter

[Chung Dha]

Readability all depends on which font you use and also size and color. Just test fonts on which size is the minimum size till you can't read it. Allot are about 6 or 7 pt. There are some exclusion also you can set sharp and smooth in photoshop to help some other fonts to become even smaller.

"I am not afraid of competition!"

So there are no problem with if it is not readable.

I guess we can use any of the standard banner sizes, but would you really want to place a 468x60 banner on your portfolio website or in your blog?

consider it a challenge

but to be serious, there is a number of ways to fit this text into the given dimentions. Animation is one of them.

It's been a long time since i have visited the site.. i am excited to join.

[bunker]

Ok, this is my idea. LINK

I'm going on vacations tomorrow and I'll be back on September 10th to make all the revision!!!

Good luck for every one, as RinaldiDesign said have FUN!

[Chung Dha]

Nice idea bunker, cause the contest says you may use jpg, gif or flash and gif and flash both support animations. So its shouldn't be hard to make the banner special. And fit the text better too.

For people who don't have flash but do have photoshop. Photoshop and Image ready support gif and swf export.

hi again
excuse me, You either increase the dimensions of it or choose more effective text.....

here is my post


I wish u like it.....
but i do not like it....

and for being in flash....i do not think it will be applicable as well....revise the one of the w3c .... which is used for validating web pages and css..... i think it is same dimensions or near...but no text.......

wish u all the best
