discussion Another competition

[John]

I've decided to start another competition to see if someone can design a better header for the forum, it's something I've been going to do for a while but I've just been too busy.

The prize for winning this is..... nothing oster_oo

Well not quite nothing I'm sure I can offer you something for your trouble, at the very least a bit of advertising if you have a site and maybe even your name in lights

all in all this is a bit of fun so please take it that way and don't expect a brand new Dell P9 all singing all dancing machine or even a cheapo Airfix model, although I might be able to spring for a tin of Airfix paint

Please try and keep to the colours of the forum, thanks

Well IMHO the Iron Annie bipe is too aviation related. Dangerous to offend one segment of the modelling community. ( I AM an aeromodeller). if you try to include a representative selection of model types you will get bleats from somebody who`s favourite isnt included. How about chrome/metal "Eurostyle" block caps. Have a look at the ITV News opening. I`ve got a how-to-do-it from the web if anybody wants to have a go if it isnt available already. Just lettering, no gimmicks,no fancy backgrounds.:dontknow:

Yep I have to agree is there are going to be images then it has to cover a wider spectrum, as an example here's a banner I did a while back to try and get across the variety of models

I know I am more autistic than artistic (and do not have the cool tools that Maplegarth does) but my humble entry is attached ....

(you get the idea)

Hi Sonic the graphics I put here was only to start it off & are not intended to be included in the competition, just me taking time out from my work lol lol so here is the last one lol

Scale-Models.co.uk

p.s. when the pages opens & you see the image ! its a link click on it

 

[Guest]

here`s a first attempt from my wee brother......

 

[Guest]

Hi Sonic remember the backgrounds I sent you a long time ago !

well here they are again with a few more bits added lol lol lol

this is the one I was talking about when we chated before & is Absolutely the last one lol lol

Yes, like that one Sonic (4 basic model types). Whip out the spotted oval and put title like Maplegarths second chrome font on a plain coloured background. Dont like the one with plastic sprue..implies this is plastics only Forum. :artist:EX Illustrator 1631st AFB Sq.USAF and UK Air Ministry (when computers were still using punched cards !!!!!!)

 

[Guest]

i`ll have another go

 

[Guest]

Sonic,

I think the .co.uk should be changed to .net, that seems to be attracting a large number of guests and (hopefully) overseas members.

I think the .co.uk and .net could go all togeather, there's no need for them
