BlenderNation Contests

Design the BlenderNation Header

Bart ·

header.jpgWe regularly invite Blender artists to design a header graphic for us so that we can have a new look every month or so. I thought it would be nice to change the rules a little and run a ‘BlenderNation Header Contest’.

To participate, prepare a header graphic and post a link to your it in the comments. You can also post votes there. There’s no deadline; I’ll check this post regularly to see if there’s any new material that we like.

If your work is selected I’ll try to notify you. If I can’t because we don’t have your email address then you’ll just be in for a nice surprise one day ;-)

Here are the image requirements:

  • only submit complete, ‘ready to use’ headers.
  • use the correct format (700×100 pixels). (size updated)
  • use the correct background color (#3388cc).
  • don’t use the left-side of the image (as the BlenderNation text and menu will be there).
  • we like the (reflective) bar that Mathias introduced; you can use that as well, but it’s not required.
  • please add your own name to the far right in a font like Arial or Helvetica.

Here’s a sample header file (right-click and save as) to help you get started.

Your prize? Eternal BlenderNation fame! (Well, as long as your image is shown, I guess ;-)

Have fun!
