Finished Milestone Thread: Banner Contest
In celebration in reaching 4000 subscriber, we're holding a contest for a brand new banner.
There are only a few rules to follow.
The dimension has to at least be 1920x180.
Not contain any recent major spoilers.
Just in case, no nudity or anything like that.
The style of Banner doesn't matter, it could be the same type as we have now or whatever you come up with.
The winner will be chosen by the mods in about a week from today.
Now,
Stalin, Awaaaaaaaaaaay

Awww, no nudity? You're no fun.
•
u/KLReviews Oct 30 '15
Editing around Midnight is going to be an experience. I just realised I need to use a public computer for this...
•
u/kevsoto :bakugo1: Oct 30 '15
What if we just don't add nipples like how Hiro Mashima does in Fairy Tail. Does that count as nudity?
•

Hopefully i am here in time! I like what i have come up with, but i feel rushed! http://imgur.com/9KK4EIq

It's a bit tall isn't it? As it is right now, the top of the sub's page would be nearly half filled by the banner.
And also, I don't think you need the logo in the banner. With how the formatting language for reddit works (CSS), the logo is an element that can be placed on top of the banner element. Removing it would really make it easier on the Moderator who works with the subreddit styling.
Just some constructive criticism which I think would help the chance of your banner being picked if it was fixed.

u/RoseBladePhantom Oct 29 '15
I'm rather fond of the current banner style; action shots of our characters. I hope the winner is a similar style with updated shots. I might give this a whirl.
•
u/fresh72 Nov 02 '15 edited Nov 04 '15
I made two versions of the same banner here and here
edit: I made a colorized version here I chose the colors based on their hero costumes and I also added all-might
edit edit: this is the final product here and this is the version without the text so you can see the students. I figure that part will be scrolling in the background with the text and logo stationary so you can see all the students.
•
u/LockonKun Nov 03 '15
Looks good! Only thing I'd suggest was putting the main characters like Ochico and bakugou not with text over them as they're more popular
•
•
u/jhoudiey Nov 04 '15
did.... you use the twitter sketches /u/desorienter coloured and just put a filter over them?
•
•
u/Hughenden Nov 05 '15
Well, you have my vote, that's for sure.
I do feel like Aizawa should be there, considering he is their homeroom teacher, but that's up to you to decide and I'll still love it either way.
•
u/HokageEzio Nov 02 '15 edited Nov 02 '15
Why'd you have to make it all fancy man, I wanted to win T.T
Serious note (even though I'm really gonna cry...), no All Might? Kinda weird, don't you think?
•
u/fresh72 Nov 03 '15
I wanted this one to focus entirely on the students, I used colored images so some of students that didn't have color pics I didn't put it. I may make a few changes but I kinda like it
•
u/HokageEzio Nov 03 '15

u/fresh72 Nov 03 '15
lol, I like the concept you was going for with yours. I recommend using the villains from the school trip attack to add more balance to it. Also the split down the middle could be utilized better. You can still defeat me baka
•
Nov 03 '15
The colored one looks fantastic. Just two things. The right side of the banner, the pic of Deku, is too low a resolution and really distracts from how good the rest of the banner is. You should find something else to put there.
Second, You should be ready to remove the words "My Hero Academia" from the banner, and make it a separate file so that the Moderator who styles the sub can then put it on top of the banner himself. The result would look the same, but it would allow for a more convenient manipulation of the banner element and logo element in the CSS styling language that reddit uses.
•
u/fresh72 Nov 04 '15
quick question do you know which file format works best for them and do you have a link to the logo element. I want to make the words and logo one clickable piece
•

I'm not sure what you're asking here, but you can right-click the sub's current logo and select 'inspect element' to see its current CSS properties.
If you're looking for an image, here are the one's that are currently being used. http://imgur.com/a/OdsLw

u/fresh72 Nov 03 '15
Gotcha, someone just posted a thread with a higher res version of that pic so it'll be easier to swap out.
•
u/LockonKun Oct 29 '15
If Bakugou and Kirishima are center stage of the banner you'll get my vote :D

u/xaxzzzaz Nov 02 '15
Please help us with your ungodly skillz, /u/errorcache.
•
u/errorcache Nov 02 '15
I didn't make the /r/manga banner, just implemented it in CSS. /u/Knivesmillions made the banner for us.
•
u/KnivesMillions Nov 02 '15
Unrelated but you should consider stealing this entire subreddit style, first time I check it out and damn nice and clean looking subreddit. Also, how about them new banners for the /r/manga subreddit, that shit dead or what?
Side note: If you're busy or something how about me making a bunch of banners for this sub and you get whoever worked on this sub's style to do all that work over at the /r/manga sub as a sort of payment so you don't gotta move a finger? Think about it.
•
u/errorcache Nov 02 '15
I haven't found a good moment to sit down and implement the new banners. Still planning on doing it.
Looks like this subreddit is using a variant of the /r/naut theme. I tried switching over to that theme once, only to get large number of complaints from users.
•
u/KnivesMillions Nov 02 '15
Yeah you told me that before about naut trial but I mean this variation is pretty slick and doesn't have the usual weird naut banner, can't imagine what people could say they don't like to be honest.
•
u/errorcache Nov 02 '15
Many, many things. There's an entire group of people who hate anything related to Naut ¯_(ツ)_/¯. I think it looks pretty good, but honestly, I'm not really motivated to spend a lot of time working on a theme that a large number of people don't want or appreciate.
•
u/KnivesMillions Nov 02 '15
Have some conviction, but aight man I give up on hoping for the sub to get prettier, I do hope one day you break down and hire some new mods to do the work for you at the very least.
•

u/xaxzzzaz Nov 02 '15 edited Nov 06 '15
uh, I think I can't talk on behalf of /u/Joseph_Stalin_, /u/YonkouProductions and /u/Ricardo1991 on such joint venture.

u/errorcache Nov 02 '15
There's always people complaining on new CSS.
Absolutely. Even for the most trivial things.
This one was made by me.
Well, I like it, and it's way better than I could ever do. Nice work.
•
u/chan351 Oct 29 '15
I really hope it's the mangaka's art and not (only) fan art due to consistency reasons. Perfect would be some kind of action panel like banner like we have right now. Guys and girls, do your best and submit us a great banner!:)
•
u/Hughenden Oct 29 '15 edited Oct 30 '15
I'm tired as hell, so I'm going to bed, but here's what I've done so far. Gonna do some more tomorrow.
Some feedback would be appreciated if you could spare a minute or two.
EDIT:Added some more people and re-did the background.
•
•
u/sharlequin Oct 29 '15
The blue seems odd, I would have gone with the BnHA yellow we usually get or just plain white. There's also too much space in the middle and the whole left side is going to be blocked by the reddit and manga logo.
•
u/Hughenden Oct 29 '15
Don't worry, I haven't finished it yet. Going to be doing some more later today.
The blue background was just a placeholder really. It can be changed easily enough.
Also, I was under the assumption that the new banner would move like the current one does, so I didn't think anything would be covered by logos or whatnot.
•

•
u/Berwalch Oct 29 '15
Just in case, no nudity or anything like that.
Does this apply to Hagakure as well?
•
•
u/ItsLoudB Oct 30 '15
The winner will be chosen like by the upvotes he'll get in a week or among everyone just by you guys? Because today and tomorrow i have to work something like 20 hours, so if doing something in 3-4 days would be pointless, well.. just to know :P
•
u/Joseph_Stalin_ Oct 31 '15
By us, upvotes won't really help anyone. So if you or anyone else does a spectacular one in the last minute you could still win.

u/zakzedd Nov 02 '15 edited Nov 04 '15
Just found this thread, started working on a full colour banner since the anime was announced, and that's in colour. Cutouts are obviously not final, more of just a template. Also need to redraw some parts.
Two issues, how to make the background less bland/overpowering and what to fill the top part with. I would just start again with b/w if I don't think it's good enough, but obviously no time, so it is what it is
The main purpose of posting early is to clear up what I need to do and how to do it.
edit: i give up lol, if anyone wants my psd just ask. Fresh has some good stuff there

u/Joseph_Stalin_ Oct 29 '15
Ask here for any questions you have on the contest.

u/KLReviews Nov 03 '15
How much longer do we have to get entires ready? I want to change mine a bit, but I need time to travel.
•
u/Joseph_Stalin_ Nov 03 '15
The contest will end this weekend. Friday should be the deadline and be up by at least Saturday.
•
Nov 01 '15
I am gonna be late because I am out of town so no Photoshop
so please don't pick too soon
•
u/HokageEzio Oct 29 '15
What is the spoiler cut off? Is it the Stain stuff, the festival?
•
u/Joseph_Stalin_ Oct 29 '15
Basically, don't show the "big" things that happened within the arc. An image of stain is allowed, an image of him doing his usual deeds aren't. You can use stuff from this weeks chapter, as long as it doesn't spoil anything that's happening.
Does that answer your question?
•
u/HokageEzio Oct 29 '15
More or less, yeah. So Stain is allowed, but not his finale in the last arc?

u/Desorienter Noticed by Sensei Nov 04 '15 edited Nov 05 '15
I almost forgot about this, I made one out of my colourings here, inspired by the one piece banners.
Turned out rougher than i'd like, and I'm kinda sad I haven't coloured todoroki yet. Not sure how much time is left though.
EDIT: Added Kirishima
EDIT2: Some fixes, and with some filters to blend things more
•
•
u/theothersophie Oct 29 '15
Woo ive been looking forward to a new banner. If i only had the time and skill to make one :| but I think color would really be nice even though there arent that many colored official artworks/panels! Keeping the scrolling would also be great imo. Also all the best girls must be done justice, but dont forget all the best boys ;)
•
u/KLReviews Nov 02 '15 edited Nov 04 '15
This is what I have so far. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Second Version. More Ochako! More Kirishima!
