By Alejandro Castillo
Webmaster Comment: Returning from last
year's contest, Alejandro Castillo submitted this super sexy (in more ways than one)
"News with Morrigan" banner along with several other intricately
detailed TFG banners that were unquestionably 'first place' material... Your
attention to detail does not go unnoticed, Mr. Castillo. Amazing work, and
congratulations!!! CLICK HERE to see other
banners by Alejandro!

By Mike Song (Eienmic)
Webmaster Comment: The theme of this
year's contest was "cool fonts"... And when I came up with this year's
theme, I certainly didn't have something like this in mind!!! 
Wow... "TFG" never looked quite so sexy... One of the most clever TFG
banner designs to date, and some very impressive original artwork! GREAT
JOB!
Eienmic's other banner entry, also notably clever... Try that input on your
fight stick! ;)
2nd place
won: $20 gift card
from Gamestop and a free TFG Membership for 4 months!
By Derrick Aviles
Webmaster Comment: This banner
just cracks me up every time I see it... 
And
it's so true. Derrick Aviles also created some "more serious" TFG
banners which were very nicely designed, but this one takes the cake! CLICK

A mystery prize from the TFG

The Create-a-banner 09' Guidelines: 1.
Banners should be no
bigger than 600 X 250 pixels! Other than that, any size or shape
is acceptable! Smaller and sleeker is usually better though.
2.
Banners can simply
say "The Fighter's Generation / TFG," or be themed after any
of TFG's sections such as "News, Characters, Features,
Videos, Shop, etc," and even for specific pages/features like "Timeline,
Separated at Birth, Misheard Special Moves, etc."
3. Animated banners are allowed (if you got the skills), just keep the animations relatively short & sweet; and of course, original.
4.
The theme of this years
contest will be "cool
fonts"... Use
any (and as many) fighting game characters from any franchise, and photoshop
in some sweet special effects, but don't ruin it with a boring old font... Be
creative with your text!!! |
