Era News Template Design Contest

We're going to bring back Era News, and we need a new template image, and this is where you come in.

We are holding a contest to see who can create the best image template. The template must meet this requirements:
  • Must be an IMAGE (PNG or GIF), we can convert it for you if you win
  • The image can be no larger than 750x750, and no smaller than 500x500
  • You should have at least two spots for articles, and two spots for images or advertisements
  • You should create only one page.
  • There should be some kind of headline at the top with "Era News" on it, and a place for issue number and date.

If you win, you must be willing to create more images for additional templates for different layouts (same basic format, but some images or articles moved around, for example). You will need to create two more. You may also be asked to make more than this, and be paid a commission.

If you do win, your prize will be $25,000 and free newspapers for life .

Here are some examples:

http://forums.graalonline.com/forums...6&d=1233876432

The winner will be picked by Era staff and/or Era News staff based on how well we like the image. If you feel that you must break the requirements to win (or make it look nicer), then you can do so.

The winning template will be chosen two weeks from now, on June 13th, 2009.

Post your submissions in this thread.

I am working on one. Hopefully, I will be the winner. Also, will the Era News car have any advantages or will it just have an awesome look?

Also, When will Era News be released?

Cool look I suppose, I just came up with the idea because the prize sounds lame otherwise.

Released date is probably a month or so, I'll start working on the system now, but we need the image before we can release it of course.

No. If you aren't sure, you can always post it here and I'll tell you if it's okay.

It might not be possible, but why not have a sign (LED style) on the top of the car that has headlines from the current issue of Era News scrolling across?

Technically possible, but probably not worth the time it'd take.
