Winter Season Banner Design Contest

[Du5t1n 57]

Do you have mad Photoshop skills? Think you can dominate the graphics competition in designing a new banner for the top of Hyrule.net? We are looking for a new banner for the Winter season and holidays! I will provide the Photoshop .psd file and the Hyrule.net font for you, and you can enter the contest to design us an awesome new banner. The winner will receive a $5 giftcard to a major retailer (ie Walmart, Target, Gamestop). Follow the jump for the details.

The main rules are:
Make it look AWESOME! Feel free to change the background, colors, Link, etc.
Maintain Hyrule.net in a large font, and "The original Zelda Online!" in a smaller font nearby.
Maintain the red bar at the bottom.
If you have a font that makes your design look AWESOME, feel free to change it.
Having "Happy Holidays from..." is optional if your design works better without it.
Make it look like the Holidays: Maybe some snow, a Christmas tree, lights, Christmas colors, or whatever. It's really up to you though. You are the artist and this is your design!

Feel free to ask any other questions here and good luck! The winner will be picked by how awesome I think the banner is. I will take input from you guys though.

This is maybe not the main theme for this post but this is really interesting.


[u]This is NOT A "SPOILER"[/u]

Hey check up on this Video. This is very strange. This shows how the Zelda games are connected. It really made chance mind how the Zelda games are. They are all connected some how. This is really weird.

Right here: [url="http://hyrule.net/external.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gametrailer.com%2Fsearch.php%3Fs%3DRe...r_type%3Dallmedia"]http://www.gametrailer.com/search.php?s=Re...r_type=allmedia[/url] . And WATCH the trailer number 6.

This is a MUST WATCH video for all Zelda fan. And watch the other parts 2, all 6 videos.

--------------

After you watched it, tell me how you think of this case.

[Relean 1]

Yes they are.

[Relean 1]

They do not show how the Zelda games are connected. They just show them and give a little background about them...

I mean like there is always a continue from the last game to the another. The first game is really the number 7 (something like that) and the Ocarina of Time is the 2nd. I thought like, the games were just new story. Ocarina of time were just 1 story (and Majora's Mask after that) and Wind Waker were another story after that.

And I also didn't know the Ocarina of Time had 2 ENDINGS! That really

And yeah. How do you make a banner like that. how do you photoshop??

Last time I checked, Oot didn't have two endings...
