Posted: Thu Mar 22, 2012 4:35 pmFurther to my splash pic madness (see this topic here) ... Doug's going to allow me to create splash pics for every monthly screenshot winner. This is how they could look:
The only problem is that many entries are optimised for a banner/letter-box shape - which, I think, is *how it should be*. The banner (which many people worldwide will look at) needs to look good. Any splash pic created from the winning shot would be *secondary* to that. So .. don't let the square-ish splash pic shape cramp your style in the monthly screencomp. Treat the splash pic as a bonus, not a requirement.
Anyway - on top of the regular comp, we're thinking that maybe a totally separate (additional) *splash pic* competition once a year or so could be a good idea.
Anyone wanting the Mustang pic above can grab it here: Splash_Pic_NZFF_2012_02.zip (800k).
