TESNexus header banner competition

  • Comment
More articles
Hi folks,

When I was showcasing the site design on the official forums, before the launch of TESNexus, many people expressed their lack of appreciation for the header banner for the site (the one in the top left). Now, personally, I like it. I feel it suits the whole minimalist approach I took to the site design in the first place, following a "less flare, more functionality" approach to things. But hell, what do I know!

So this one is for all the budding graphic artists out there who think they can do better! You are invited to create a header banner for TESNexus, the winner (if there is going to be one!) will be picked by myself, and maybe Buddah, LHammonds and Povuholo. Your header banner will be used on the site, and your name mentioned in the footer blurb of the site (so I don't get blamed for creating it!).

The banner MUST follow these simple guidelines:

    • Width: between 350px and 500px
    • Height: 85px
    • Morrowind/Oblivion related
    • Must, obviously, fit into the current colour scheme/background seamlessly
    • No animation, filesize kept as low as possible




You are welcome to use my header PSD.

Submissions should be uploaded to this news post's forum post (you can upload attachments via the forums) or sent to robin [_AT_] blacktreegaming [_DOT_] com

Have fun!

    Is this still going on. if so is it possible to get a copy of the original psd so that way we can use the same border and just put our own stuff inside it easier for those not too knowledgeable on photoshop. well i'll give it a shot anyway been a while since i made a site banner.

    I think these two turned out quite nice <img class=">

    here's that one with gold, it doesn't look the same though with this background.

    Yes your right, it’s a lot BETTER!
    That’s superb, great job, I think it's the best one yet.

    here's the one with the chorrol shield and some lighting effects.

    Hope you like it <img class=">

    I was going to say that's perfect but then I saw the other one you did just below.
    Now I think you should change the text to gold.

    I'll go ahead and give that a try. I'll add a TESNexus stamp effect / text to my original gloss-banner and get back to you on it.

    (Also, all of the earlier stuff is in a different thread.)

    To be honest, I like the very first one you made the most. Though the whole wax seal thing was a good idea. It'd be really cool to make it look like it was sealed by a ring. As far as the shields go, I think the Orcish shield would be better than Chorrol or Blackwood. It is factionless.
