If you do not have anything to submit or contribute a legit question that is on topic please keep it to yourself and move on. If you have an issue with this use the PM function.

For those that aren't forums whores and don't know how at least VB works, when a file is attached through the boards, it is unviewable to non members. So I think this was a very good move on GIO's part.

i really don't want to deal with looking at submissions by you jackasses that will do the entire thing in flash then give us a damn .gif file that's 5 megs in size.
unless I get an official answer, I'm just going to throw out there that you gotta keep it under 70k.

Re: DragVA Banner Design Contest!
I have had a couple questions on wait should be incorporated for the text of the web banners, and honestly this is up to you. What is DragVA to you? Of course we need to include "www.dragva.com" and maybe something about being "VA largest car enthusiast web community". Other than that we mean animated as in a moving picture not "anime style" but if thats the way you want to go about it go for it. 70K sounds like a good size if its a tad bit bigger but looks good submitted and managment will decide to keep it or not. The larger banner of course will be a larger file size. But keep on submitting. If you need hosting let me know and I will upload to my server for everyone to see.

Re: DragVA Banner Design Contest!
I really want to give this a whirl but I really don't have a lot of experience doing animated banners.. I might pull up cnet and see what I can find and give it a shot. Doesn't look like there are many submissions. Any preference on color scheme or anything?

Re: DragVA Banner Design Contest!
lol..
Any suggestions on a program to use? I downloaded a few free shareware apps from cnet/downloads and they're basically template crap. I don't have a problem with ideas, or with creating the graphics--at all.. but don't know of any specific applications where I can put the image, the thought, and the animation all together.
