Paw Print Banner Challenge!

[Prof. Zenix James 30]

BANNER AND MOTTO CHALLENGE!

Are you all ready for a sweet graphic's challenge?! Absolutely!

As mentioned in the Gryff Paw Print's newest issue...What? Haven't read the newest issue? CLICK ME!

Moving on, as mentioned in the issue, the Paw Print just unleashed their brand new site upon HOL and that site is a little lacking in the graphics banner department. Currently, there are only three alternating banners for the site and they're lonely, and no one wants to mess with a lonely banner. Trust us. So, in order to fix this little problem and add some Gryffindor flair to the new website, we're holding a contest to see which students and staff can create the best banners and mottos for the Paw Print.

There will be two different sections in the challenge. You do not have to participate in both to take part in the contest...But we hope you do! \o/

Also, just as a side note, the motto contest and the banner contest are meant to be combined. Your motto can go on your banner, so it's like killing two hippogriffs with one bludger. No hippogriffs were harmed in the making of this contest.

Banner Contest

Size: Width 850 X Height 200

As it's a banner, size is going to be really important to stick to, or there is a possibility that portions of the banner will be cropped out. Here are the three banners on the site currently, so you have an idea and, maybe, some inpiration.

Banner 1, clicky

Banner 2, clicky

Banner 3, clicky

Students and staff competing in this challenge are going to have free reign over what they're going to make into a banner. We don't really have any serious what's serious guidelines, other than the sizing instructions. We just ask you to remember that the staff of the Paw Print, and the Paw Print, are all insane.

Motto Contest

We're looking for a catchy and hilarious new motto for the Paw Print. Actually, we're not sure if the Paw Print ever had a motto, but it's time to get one. Your job is to come up with a motto for the PP! Just in case that wasn't obvious. What kind of motto? Well, it can be practically anything, but keep in mind that we're Gryffindor and we're all irrevocably insane, off-our-rockers.
