You asked for change, you got it!! Without further ado, I introduce to you...
(artwork by the lovely
rachelled)
Our
current banner is beautiful but we've had it for over a year now - and we're calling on our talented members to design a new one :D
Here are the deets, PLEASE READ THEM ALL!! Then read them again! Any entries that do not follow the rules will be screened and disqualified :(
★ Banners must contain MERCHANDISE EXCLUSIVELY!! No drawings or artwork please, this isn't an art contest!! This time we will allow artwork OF merchandise, but this is a very narrow exception and we vastly prefer photos. If you decide to use merchandise artwork, you MUST draw it yourself - no using art without the artist's permission.
★ Banners must be 800x235 pixels - this is wider than our current banner, please keep that in mind.
★ Banners must be simple and contain our tagline - Nothing too crazy or crowded please!! Our tagline is "PKMNCollectors @ Livejournal. Buy. Sell. Trade. Brag." Feel free to punctuate that as you see fit, but remember to include it :)
★ Banners should contain a VARIETY of Pokemon!! You can choose a theme if you'd like (some suggestions are Pokemon type, Pokemon Center promotions, etc.) but please don't only include "popular" Pokemon. A random smattering is best!! Also, if you choose a theme, please keep in mind that the banner will be displayed for probably at least a few months. We haven't quite decided how often to change it yet but a holiday or seasonal banner probably wouldn't be appropriate this time around.
