Welcome to the Support Forum's first Graphic Challenge, where our members may compete to create a fun banner for the support forum for Halloween! This Challenge is not just a contest, as we have had in the past. Instead, this contest is especially focused on improving your graphic abilities and will feature two new features that a normal contest does not have.

1) After the contest period, Graphic Designers will take the time to critique your work and give tips on how to improve your skills.

2) The contest will now include a graphic challenge rule -- this time, it will be an image that you will be required to include in your work and to make it fit or blend in with the banner as best you can.

Size (In Pixels): 865px × 201px
Images to include: This Image
Text to Insert: "Forum of the Forums" & "Official Support Forum of Forumotion"
Detailed Description: Keeping the background color of 369ece is not required, but preferred! If you do not have that color of a background, having one that is transparent or a color that will look good on top of 369ece is also acceptable!

A modern design with a Halloween theme, while also including the image linked above is your challenge. How the image is used (regardless of its color, opacity, or amount of cover in the image) is entirely up to the artist. We truly look forward to seeing your submissions so that we can all improve our design skills together as a community!

Post your submissions here and one entry per person!

Thanks!

It's the 'smoke' from castle chimneys. Smile

I hope that's ok? Since it's stated that we can use any part of the image, regardless of opacity, etc.

Yes, that's okay, thank you!
