Doesn't matter who wins it...I'm blocking every single banner and header in neopia with Adblock Makes the pages in NQ II so much faster and easier...

:O This one I will definately enter. I've never entered in a random contest before 
)
I like to do designing and I restock my shop daily. Yay!
I hope they don't judge the shops, too, just the banners... :-/ Mine isn't a huge supermall, you know..

This isn't my best work. Tell me what you think. I didn't put up a border because the neopets banners don't have a border. If I should put one up, tell me.
Should I submit this for the ava or make another one.

Hehe, it's not much, but I knew my shop name (I've had it for ages) was too fun to pass this contest up.
EDIT: Ohmigosh. It's 728, not 798. Oy -- I'll have to shrink it.
Simster, that is one hilarious and awesome banner.

At least it was easier for you to shrink. My first one was 250kb
I had to remove most of my animation 
I made my shop match (http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=dead__scream)

I used to have that problem until I switched to transparent layers to add animation. Saves a ton on memory.

Heh heh, love 'em all! I never can wait to see the winners, it's usually so much fun, and this is probably going to be one of the most fun RC's yet. Everyone's being so creative! Have to say I love the Monotony one...it just begs to be looked at!
40k would've been a smidge easier. The 35k limit forced me to nix my mesmerizing background, so my ad lost a lot of its appeal. I know better than that, but I got carried away. I'm reconstructing mine and hopefully I can manage to pack the same meaning into it.
I wanted to share some sites I've been using for help:
webmonkey
addesigner
Online ad trends
How to for Photoshop
Color picker! This helps a lot
Everything about using color
For anyone designing in MS Paint that's having trouble optimizing, there are a bunch of free online GIF optimizers, just search Google and you'll find them Here is a site with a couple links.

There's mine ^^; Matches my shop. I don't really expect to win or anything, but heck I like it
I really like yours too. I think that you should work it into your shop somehow even if you don't win.
Aww ^^ Thank you! I'll have to do that

I would love to enter, but i dont really like animation and a dont restock often so yea lol
Mon Mar 21, 2005 6:45 am
You don't have to animate, and you could just put a few jellies in your shop at 1k each if you won 
It's weird, but people will buy the weirdest stuff for a lot of np! I price my Pink Poogle Toys at 1337, only started that because of a thread here, and I sell 3-4 a day at that price *falls over*
It's fun
I'll pop my banner up in a couple of days, don't want my idea stolen (though at least 9,001 other people are doing something vaguely similar)

I love your banner. I looks like something I would see in a book store somewhere. The only thing is that I think I'd like it better if you cut it off right after 'quiggle booksellers' I know it has to be long for the contest, but I think that part would look really good alone. Either way it awesome.

0_o.... doesnt matter for me. I don't see the top banner anyways. Pages are a lot more up without them No, im not premium, im using the notepad code, and internet tools >> accessibility >> and insert file.
I wont participate, i dont have a shop, i could do a banner for fake avs tho... but it wouldnt be a SHOP AD then...
