    DDR MAXIMIZER Banner Contest

    Hello boy's and girls.

    Xtreme systems is giving away one DDR Maximizer free of charge!
    (http://www.hipro-tech.com)
    What do you need to do to obtain one?

    Make a banner that fits following specification that will be put on the Xs front page

    specs:
    - a gif
    - Try and match the colors to the Xs Website. it isn't that hard to do so take 2 more minutes of time and increase your chance to win one.
    - 160x215 px

    What we'd like to see:
    - Originallity
    Meaning don't go copying parts of the site to make a banner.
    - Style
    This is kind of self explaining. it needs to be trendy and hip. ofcourse of another style then trendy/hip works better in your opinion, feel free to make it in the other style but remember it needs to fit with the Xs color scheme

    To make this as fair as possible i'm thinking of 2 entry's per person maximum.

    The winning banner will be choosen by the Xs Staff. This contest will run for 1 week untill further notice.
    The contest starts today August 17 and will end August 24.

    Have fun all and make it good.


    Cheers

    Only two banners per member?
    Actually it's not fair, people can get inspired! so all the others will get screwed cause they wont get another chance.

    The logo/banner is NOT for hipro but for Xtreme Systems as said. It will be on the front page so advertize hipro's great product.

    If I look at the front page I see none of those banners having the official Xs colors. In order to be a good banner, it should not take Xs colors in first place because it will not be seen in the 1 second you watch a page. Everyone knows the first second is the most important
    O yea, talking about front page, last update was on Thursday, July 27, 2006 - 09:53 PM, and hitting ctrl+f5 doesn't do anything. Is there something wrong with my browser or is it just dead silent on front page?

    How's this for my first gif ever?

    I have a better quality one, this one is VERY compressed.
