[x] Good day to all. This is a contest that which is very much different from all the other general contests. Only this contest, you have to be more creative with a limited amount of choices that are offered to you.

[x] The name of the game: As it is, it is called the Screencapture Contest, and as you may have noticed there are rounds to this contest meaning I will continue with contests in the same routine [with variables...well..varying. ]

[x] Basically I will provide one or more screencaptures of various things. Whether it be Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, a picture of a book, or a landscape capture. You will then use those screencaptures to make your graphic [avatar, banner, etc.].

Rules:
- You must only use the screencaptures given to you.
- You must use them to make the required graphic (ie. Round: Avatar)
- Your entry must be a newly made entry. [Preferably with some kind of signature.]
- There will be no limit to the entries (meaning any number of people may enter), as long as it is entered by the date. Any entry given latter the date will be shown and recognized but will not be included in the judging (unless given a very good reason as to why you entered late).

[x] Judging: The voting/judging will now be publicly available however the voter must PM me with their votes/comments rather than posting it.

[x] Awards: Awards still are not guaranteed the best in the world. I've gotten better with Photoshop so I've gotten into the habit of making awards for every round.

+++++ This does not mean you can't do variations yourselves, such as 50 x 50 or 150 x 50 px. The length should not surpass 200 px and the height should not be less than 30 px.
---Permission not needed to enter :: <b><i>you must have two entries!</i></b>
---Post the LINK to your entry in your post. Try not to use the image tool.
---Entry is due by Monday, June 18th, 2007 at 11:30 pm EST.
---Good luck and HAVE FUN!

COMMENTS++++
>>>>>> <b>Everyone</b> :: “Although a lot of the sets were of a similar theme, they were all very different to each other due to the creativity with the text and the overall banner styles. Really excellent work.” –Johnny’s Fan
“Oh my goodness me, these are all stunning. I love them all everyone, you all deserve a round of applause. *applauds* (Now I really want to see they movie! ) You guys never cease to amaze me.” –Elven Archer


>>>>>> <b>Tintinnabulator</b> :: “Really, really like the colours. The grungy brushes/textures work very well and I think you’ve used them just enough to make them work, without overdoing it. I also like the splash of colour and the way you’ve used to text to work with that. The quote is also really fitting with that scene. I would probably have moved MJ down a little bit, to make her look as if she’s looking at Peter, but apart from that. Excellent. Nice avatar as well. It pretty much matches (apart from the brush on MJ’s face).” –Johnny’s Fan
“I love all the brushes, and the contrast of the blue and the red works perfectly. Lovely blending, and just a great banner. I love the quote! ” –Elven Archer
“I like it! When you take time to look at it, the different layers of images jump out - it has great depth!” –Valera Elenhathel
“I love the choice and arrangement of pics and the overall colour of your banner. The texture you've used gives it an interesting look together with the brushes. Great job! ” –Rose of Rivendell

>>>>>>> <b>Elenanna Lothenedhel</b> :: “Choice of pictures is great, makes for a very sweet scene. The blending is really very good and I like the textures you have used, as it’s just enough to give the banner something else without ruining it. The text is simple and to the point. The avatar is nice as well, I would probably have left it brush-less though so it matched the banner.” –Johnny’s Fan
“Another banner with perfect blending. I like it, simple and elegent. The brush on the avatar is pretty...but it dosn't really seem to go with the banner. Amazingly done.” –Elven Archer
“Wow! The blending is perfect and I really love the way you've arranged the pics. The overall colour and the text look very nice. And the brush you've used for the avi is really beautiful! ” –Rose of Rivendell

>>>>>>> <b>Rose of Rivendell</b> :: “Wow, I don’t know what it is about this banner, but I can’t keep myself from looking at it! The blending is very good, and I love the white effect, especially on Spiderman. Having the banner sharper also brings out the textures but it also highlights Spiderman which is a neat effect! I like the text, but you would probably have been better having it all on one line in the right hand corner. Still, very good banner. Bonus points for having a matching avatar as well!” –Johnny’s Fan
“How pretty Rose! I love the white in the middle, and your blending is once again very well done .Personally I think it's kind of a sad quote....but the banner is beautiful! ” –Elven Archer

>>>>>>> <b>Limwen-Villya</b> :: “Ooh, goldy colours. I really like that. I think your choice of pictures actually work pretty well, and I think the text you’ve chosen makes the images work even more. Much more better in fact. The blending is really very good, and I love the way you have displayed the text. Brownie points for having a matching avatar, but I think I would have chosen a different part of the banner for it.” –Johnny’s Fan
“Ooooh I love how it goes from color, to black and white. Great idea. This one is very simple, but it's lovely. I love the coloring....it's just an excellent banner.” –Elven Archer
“great! I love the choice of font and color!” –Valera Elenhathel
“Wow! Perfect arrangement of pics! The idea of turning the Spiderman pic into a black-and-white image is pretty interesting. It looks great! And the text really fits. Amazing entry! ” –Rose of Rivendell

>>>>>>> <b>Luthien Ancalime</b> :: “Like the theme you have chosen. Very different from everyone else’s. The blending of the images is good and I like the textures you have used. The text suits the banner pretty well. The images seem to be at a bit of a strange angle though, which is a shame but apart from that. Really good. Avatar is a nice as well.” –Johnny’s Fan
“Hmmmm the pictures in this look a little squashed in....but I like the theme of it. Man I want to see the movie and see what happens to Harry...poor Harry. But anyway, I love the banner. You did an awesome job.” –Elven Archer
“Nice choice of pics. I really like the texture you've used as well as the font for “Best friends“. ” –Rose of Rivendell

>>>>>>> <b>Sapphire</b> :: “Great choice of images. I think the blending is really very good and I love the colours you have used. I like the text because it’s simple and to the point. And a matching avatar! *hands out cookie” –Johnny’s Fan
“*claps hands* Pwettyful! Me likes! The selective coloring looks wonderful and your blending is amazing. No textures, just coloring and it looks great! Two thumbs up!” –Elven Archer
“absolutely beautiful, crystal clear!” –Valera Elenhathel
“Great entry! I love the vibrant colours and the text. The blending is perfect! ” –Rose of Rivendell

>>>>>>> <b>Morwen Anduril</b> :: “Unusual choice of images. I really like the fact you have almost a “villain” “hero” banner. The blending is really good and the text is very different, although a little hard to read. I like the avatar as well. Even more because it matches the banner. ” –Johnny’s Fan
“Oh, yet another very simple, yet amazing banner. I love your text and quote, and the blending is (once again) amazing. *sigh*” –Elven Archer
“Nice choice of pics and great blending! I really love the overall look and the text really fits. Amazing entry! ” –Rose of Rivendell

>>>>>>> <b>ForeverFrodo</b> :: “Really, really like the colours. So bright and prettyful. The texture is a really neat effect and the blending is excellent. I love the text as well. Not a matching avatar but I really love the image you chose.” –Johnny’s Fan
“I like the coloring, although it is a little bright.....but it looks cool! The brushes are also pretty, but I love the way your text is positioned the most. Oh and I love his spider emblem thingy on the avatar. ” –Elven Archer
“Wow! The colours of your entry are really striking! It's unusual, but it looks great! And the text fits perfectly. *wonders were you find all the good quotes you use on your graphics *” –Rose of Rivendell

>>>>>>> <b>Eruadan</b> :: “Nice choice of pictures. I really like the fact you have all three friends together. I especially like the close up of MJ’s eyes. Blending is pretty good and I like the text. I also really like the avatar, it’s a good micture of pictures.” –Johnny’s Fan
“Oh how pretty! I especially love how you put MJ's eyes there. It makes it look really cool. Awesome blending and I love the yellow color. Fantastic work.” –Elven Archer
“Great entry! The close-up of MJ's eyes is stunning. I really love the overall colour of your entry, the choice and arrangement of pics and the text.” –Rose of Rivendell

>>>>>>> <b>Enedlhach</b> :: “Oh I like how it's just one picture. The coloring is very nice and it's an awesome set. Nice job.” –Elven Archer
“I really love the vibrant colours of your entry! Good job!” –Rose of Rivendell

>>>>>>> <b>Johnny's Fan</b> :: “*sigh* Why must you be so good, and me be so not......It's once again amazing. I love the quote (my favourite that I've heard) and the coloring is so nice. I still want to know how you do that! Anyway, I love it JF.” –Elven Archer
“classic statement, beautiful blending” –Valera Elenhathel
“Wow! *is speechless* Your entry is really amazing! The blending is perfect and the colours and the textures look great! And the text is so fitting! You've done a really, really good job! ” –Rose of Rivendell

>>>>>>> <b>Riniel Anariel</b> :: “I really love the double image of Spiderman, especially the fact one is in black and white. I also really like the blending and the textures. The colours are really lovely as well. I also think the text really suits the Spiderman images, but I’m not sure if it is relevant to MJ? Still, an excellent banner. And a matching avatar! Yay!” –Johnny’s Fan
“Oh the coloring is sooo pretty, along with the blending. My favorite part though is the desturated pictures. Another amazing piece by Rin! ” –Elven Archer
“Wow! I really like the way you've worked with the black-and-white images and the colour pic of Spiderman in the middle. The colours are wonderful and create a really dark atmosphere. Everything fits together perfectly! Great job! ” –Rose of Rivendell

I second that the first picture is not working. But I'd like to join! Slightly confused about the button thing though - does it have to be a link, or is it just an image? And does it have to be about a website, made-up or otherwise?

I agree with JF, EA. You are much too hard on yourself. I love your graphics, they're beautious.

Yeah, just an image makes more sense, considering I have no clue what you would link it to. But we will wait the decree of Kit. *sits and waits*

Thank you for the award Kit, you did a lovely job on all of them! And congrats to all of the other winners too.


And I will more then likely be joining this round too.

Just the image guys--- since it IS a graphics contest... not a "How well you use graphics to advertise your site" contest. If I wanted a website, I would've given you guys more time----or at least be a lot pickier on what type of website you're linking to!


Hmmm, I'll see what's wrong with that first image. EDIT: Fixed it!


OPINIONS, PLEASE!

Since the entries this round are quite small, do you guys want to make two or three entries? However, if I allow two-three entries, I would like EVERYONE to make two-three entries.

I'd like the chance to use more than one image, though. Maybe everyone should be required to make two?

Thanks for the clarification, Kit.

We've been forever

We have come full circle.

I'm pretty sure this is the first button-making contest I've ever seen I'm in!

I think just two is good.

Okay, 2 is a good number. Everyone's aware that all members must enter TWO entries, yes? =D

Making buttons is fun! I've never done a graphic that shape before, but I like it.

Grarr...You can't see the border very well with the white background.
