Complete: Design the Photoshop Forums Banner Challenge - Phase 3

[Pete.Green]

Voting is complete: Congratulations Sahil Chawla!

Hi all,

Round one and two of the Forums Banner Challenge were awesome!

Congratulations to the previous winners, we've really enjoyed having a nice looking banner here for the Photoshop community!

Incase anybody missed the previous challenges --

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

Round 3: Design! Submit! Vote!

Purpose: Create a fresh Photoshop Forums Banner for the Photoshop forums overview page.

How to participate:

1. Download the Template
2. Submit your Photoshop Forums Banner design by attaching your image in a response to this thread before January 2018.
3. We’ll then round up all of the submissions and vote for the people's favorite!

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 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. The chosen winner's design will be featured in the Photoshop Forums which is seen by over 35,000 people each month!

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

Regards,

Adobe Social Team

We also are doing a challenge for the Photoshop Elements and Photoshop for Beginners forums as well!

Hello Pete.Green , hope you are doing well..

This is my submission , i think the design should show a power of something inside a Photoshop.

I Used the polar coordinates Distort filter to end my design up.

and here is the other details of the design.

-The design without any text.

-The Design without cropping .

Parts in details.

Greetings

With JIVE forum overlay.

[Trevor.Dennis]

Nancy, I love the left side with the blue radial display, and I love the brushes on the right.  Not so sure about the wee panel with the photo, screen, arms and window.  The bright tones of the window keep pulling me away from the rest of the design.  Still a very nice graphic though.

[Nancy OShea]

I agree, the brightness is distracting.  I actually toned it down quite a bit from the original.  And the Escher effect is kind of lost.  I might have to rethink that panel and come up with something less busy.

Hi Pete,

Attached is my submission, I hope this could represent the General Discussion page on forums.

I know, umbrella's are funny....!

The best I am expecting is Feedback !

Regards.

Deepak Kumar.

[Nancy OShea]

Deepak,

Do you have one without the forum overlay?

[deepakk43906213]

Hi Nancy,

Here it is !

Sorry about the quality of the image though, I don't know why I was not able to upload more then 9 KB.

Regards.

[Pete.Green]

Hi Celeste,

As Dave mentions, feel free to submit multiple entries!

Regards

Pete

P.S. About 3 weeks left!

[cmgap]

Thanks! My laptop died and I was on a loaner for a week... Here's one anyway! Two versions ; )

[Kat Gilbert]

A wild one:

Will try to do another that isn't quite so out there...

[Trevor.Dennis]

Blimey Kat.  That is ever so slightly scary!  If it does not win the banner challenge, I can see it being used as the next major upgrade's Splash Screen.   It works better than I expected with the overlay. In fact it has a really 'professional' look about it.

[Kat Gilbert]

Thanks Dennis. I am honored but here is another one that might not be as scary and looks really mild in comparison:

Might have to work on this one to give it more life!

[davescm]

Will do something in 3D later but for now:

Dave

[davescm]

I said I would do an alternative in 3D so :

I'll try and do an entry for the beginners forum before New Year

Hi Pete,

I would like to post my banner, maybe it'll be able to reflect the idea?

Thank you in advance.

This one was inspired by MAX 2017... last one I promise!

[Trevor.Dennis]

Some amazing late entries — I'm in awe of the ideas and creativity.  I put everything into a sort of tree of knowledge design, but it really hasn't worked.  It also got surprisingly laggy, and there are only 70 layers. I wouldn't like to call it this time.  Kat's #14 is definitely up there and perhaps my favourite, but I am not sure how it will work with the overlay.  Dave's #15 definitely does work, but is going to generate conspiracy theories from folk convinced that the 'eye' is Adobe spying on forum users.  Hey, maybe that's exactly what it is going on, and have you noticed that no matter where you stand, the eye is always looking at you?  

[Nancy OShea]

Sometimes an idea won't go away.  So at the risk of repeating myself... I submit another Mask.   Nudge, nudge, knowhatahmean?

Hi Pete,

This is my submission, kept it rather simple focusing on the artistic side of Photoshop which gives the power to the user and magnify their creativity by providing the necessary tools in their hands.

That's clever, and it works well.

[Nancy OShea]

I think it's cute,  it made me think of the Pillsbury Dough Boy.
