Banner Contest! Do it!
Edit: there was a submission, and it won! Thanks for sort of playing!

Fairly self-explanatory: We need a banner. I could steal one from the internet, but why do that when I can shamelessly exploit the creativity of our subscribers call upon our wonderful users to create something inspiring!
Post em in the comments, the most upvotes by...uh, Saturday, will win. Unless they're all awesome, and then I'll just rotate them out.
The weirder the better, plz. (Edit: Why? Because Mass Effect has a giant repository of funny moments and memeable events, and who doesn’t like to laugh?)
Edit: General guideline is that Lemmy defaults on desktop to 750px wide, and height is set to auto. I recommend doing 750x350ish, though going bigger is usually better to size down with. If it squishes weird, I can help fix in post. :)
You're viewing a single thread.
I'm no artist, and I doubt my few screenshots would be of interest, given:
The weirder the better, plz.
But I'm curious, why the emphasis on weird? What's wrong with a simple N7 or a classy shot of the Normandy?
Also, in more practical terms - what dimensions does a banner need to be?
Eh, I’m a sucker for humor, and there’s a very severe underrepresentation of Mass Effect in the shitposting world. Funny stuff creates camaraderie. Like I said, I could just do a basic banner that we’ve all seen before, or we can mix it up and have fun with it.
As far as dimensions…good question! Default width seems to be 750, and height is set automatically. So maybe something that’s 800x400 or 750x350, with a little bit of vertical spread. Even if it’s not the perfect size, we can fix it in post. :)
"and there’s a very severe underrepresentation of Mass Effect in the shitposting world."
"Spectre's are above the law, I can shitpost whenever I want. We clear?"
Slap that on a banner and you win.
I didn't put exactly that on a banner, but I hope you like my entry.
Oh! Also! Your screenshots are absolutely of value. I should say that my definition of “artist” is “anyone who makes a thing.” It doesn’t have to be “good,” just unique…ish. Or at least derivative in a way that makes you go “haha I see what you did,” instead of, “ugh not that again.”
