Half the people want a Banner half want a Wallpaper.

It has got to be a banner:

GMs that are putting names out there would actually like to be able to use them.

I also don't buy the argument that Banners = lesser creativity/skill. You are given an empty space. The challenge is to fill it as best as you can and compare. And there is a skill involved in filling that empty space.

I don't care if GMs use it on this site.

Then if size doesn't matter (TWSS) let's choose a different size that is not a wallpaper or a banner, more like a poster. Or let the artist have free fill to make any size they want.

This isn't a real graphic design contest shep. This is one for the fun of bbkl. if its just for the designers that would be stupid. and people in this league would want something they can use. i would love to have a contest to see who can make the best Taylor Hall banner in a lightning jersey. I really couldn't care less about making a poster/wallpaper just to make ourselves feel good lol. the contest needs to contribute something.

I want to see people put out their best work whatever way possible.

If someone is not capable of putting out equally good work in a banner as compared to a wallpaper, that points to a lack of skill. Contests should not accommodate for that. Find a way to make a sick banner. That's how shit should work. And it helps BBKL.

I see no point in having a graphic design contest where GMs cannot use the final product. There are plenty of places on the internet where one can find such contests. The ability of BBKL GMs to use the final product is key to the contest. Proof of that is in this thread alone. When the discussion first started, you had Kareem, Scott etc throw names out for players from their teams that they wanted banners for. Interest was high. As soon as the topic of wallpaper was suggested, interest dropped because no one gives a shit about who can make the best wallpaper. They'll come. They'll see it. If they like it they'll use it on their desktop. But the contest itself won't generate any excitement. It's fun to see multiple people try to put the player you own on your bbkl team on a banner.

My take.

I make banners for them all the time. It's boring as hell.

If people can't appreciate wallpapers that's not my problem.

I also don't want to make banners for people I make banners for all the time. What's the point of having a contest if we do this stuff regularly anyways?

Why not just take our 3 best banners and vote then. What's the point?

I think something like this will be more fun if more people are involved/give a shit lol. otherwise it really is pointless.

This I agree with. I think we should choose different teams. I.e. Canucks or Nashville or Toronto etc. Teams that never really get designs made for them. And to your second point, people put in more effort in contests.

I make banners for Scott and Kareem all the time, not that I care because I enjoy doing graphic design. Banners can be boring because that's all I make, but they are still okay because I like doing stuff.

But they change their banners every couple weeks, whereas somebody like Hong I made that banner for like 8 months ago.

Whatever, I don't care what we do. Anton said he would only participate if it was wallpapers.

If it's just me, you and Tony, we're not doing it that's retarded. I was hoping for like 5-8 contributors.

This is becoming less desirable ... too much bickering

K sweet, we shall cancel it.

im going to make 3 wallpapers and declare myself the winner.

lol you guys are jokes
