Up for a challenge?

Let's start up a Design the Photoshop Forums Banner Challenge for the Photoshop for Beginners and Photoshop Elements forums!

Previous banner challenges for Photoshop have been very successful.

• Check out the first phase!​
• Check out the second phase!

Phase 1: Design! Submit! Vote!

Purpose: Create a fresh forums banner for Photoshop for Beginners and Photoshop Elements forums.

How to participate:

1. Download the Template
2. Submit your Forums Banner design by attaching your image in a response to this thread before January 2018.
   • Specify which space you've designed for. "Both" is acceptable.
3. We’ll then round up all of the submissions and vote for the people's favorite for both Photoshop for Beginners and Photoshop Elements!

Details: Use the above template design as a starting point for your designs which will help you position your imagery so it won’t be covered by the forum's CSS banner elements:

• Image dimensions: 1150px ×150px (72dpi)
• File size: 30kb or less
• File type: .JPG or .PNG

Please keep all submissions Photoshop-related (Photoshop/Photoshop Elements UI is OK to use), safe for work, and use image content you have the rights to (do not use any copyrighted images).

Timeframe: Post your design(s) to this thread, and we'll start voting in early January 2018.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with. Good luck!

Regards,

Adobe Social Team

We also are doing a challenge for the Photoshop General discussion as well!

I'll kick things off with this submission -- Info in the abstract

With forum overlay.

Elements

great banner!

[Nancy OShea]

There's not much activity here.   I wonder if Pete.Green will extend the submission deadline.  January 1st is coming up fast!!!

A late entry for the beginners forum

I find it hard to think of an idea that beats Nancy's for the elements forum

Dave

[Abambo]

great!

[Pete.Green]

Hi Nancy,

Thanks for the suggestion/request for more time. If that is wanted by most, we could extend the time of the PSE/P4B challenge.

However, I'm more of the mind to ask you to choose which of your two submissions you'd like to have as a "winner", and put both your selection and David's as the winners here.

One thing we could do, is put David's on the PS for beginners banner, and your selection for the Elements banner (FWIW, I'm fond of the earth/air/fire/water submission for Elements)

Thank you both for your hardwork and creativity with the Banner designs!

Let me know your thoughts!

Regards

Pete

That's OK with me.

If it's OK with Nancy it is fine with me. I think Nancy's idea and execution for the Elements banner was excellent and  unbeatable.

Dave

[Pete.Green]

Well then,

The ayes have it.

Congratulations both Dave and Nancy!

Dave, we'll use your submission as the Photoshop for Beginners forum banner going forward.

Nancy, we'll use your second submission as the Photoshop Elements forum banner going forward.

Thank you both for participating and providing us something of yourselves to display on the Forums.

If you'd like to make any final touches and send them to me that would be OK as well, otherwise I'll use what's available to me here.

Regards

Pete

[Nancy OShea]

Congratulations Dave!  Well done . 

Pete, I noticed some artifacts.  Here's a cleaner one.

[Pete.Green]

Awesome --- Thanks Nancy.

I've changed both banner pages to display the new designs. Feel free to check 'em out!

Thanks again! Well done!

[davescm]

Hi Nancy - as I said earlier - your Elements banner was unbeatable - well done - excellent job.

Pete - thanks for putting these up

Dave
