Well done to everybody who took part, there were lots of interesting ideas, a toon, and only a couple of really scary ones. Watch out for the winning banners popping up all over the site in the next couple of days.

Tony's original message:
Design a banner competition. One banner equals a Filmaday prize. Two will get you a Gameaday prize.
Banners count if we use them. There can be many winners. If we don't use them then there is no prize. They must be under 15K and 468x60 pixel GIFs so don't be stupid.
Focus on our free gifts and items which are near the top of our charts, Get Dotted and Freeola, or UKchatforums. Look for an idea which will entice people to click, or a strong selling point of the product in question.
> HOW DO I CREATE BANNERS!!!! PLEASE HELP!!
Semajal to start of all you need is simple software, such as Paint Shop Pro and the animator program you get with it. Design the banner pages seperately on Paint or any other paint program, but make sure your canvas in 468 - 60 in length. Then transport the pages you have made onto some simple animation software such as Paint Shop Animator, remeber to save them as GIF's and that they are 15k or less in size.
