Fuck this, I seem to be failing.
Maybe someone else should take this thing over. It's hard to handle along with everything else.

Your interpretation of excited or exciting. Could be like bright colors or something that has a lot of motion or whatever you associate with it.

Okay guys, I'm taking this over now.

Banners must be submitted by Thursday. I'll post new submissions on Friday and I'm on British time, so be sure to get your banners in before you go to bed on Thursday. Winners and new contests will be posted sundays.

As it's only Monday, I'll start things off now. I'll post a new contest in a minute.

The Rumor.:
Horror & Macabre

The theme for this week is horror & macabre. You can do whatever you want, but the banner can't be greyscale. The images must involve color.

Can it be greyscale and have little blobs of color around it or must the picture itself be in color?

Eee, cant wait Very Happy

And really, there shouldnt be that many rules.. or at least, not that strict.
This is about having fun and showing us what you can do, not having to hold yourself back.

And heartstrings, please... use greyscale, althought not completely?
Personally, half and half would be quite interesting.
Do whatever you need to do Smile

Oh, and thanks for starting this xD
Ill be a regular = P

What rules don't you like? I used pretty much the same ones as the icon/avatar contest, I'm still not sure about the size restriction. I just put that in there because it was mentioned before.

As long as the banner involves some color, it's fine. What I mean by greyscale is where the entire image is black and white and there is no color at all (that's why I didn't say black and white, if you set the mode of your image to greyscale then the image editor doesn't allow you to use color).
As long as there is some color in the banner somewhere then it's all good, even if the color is just in the writing or something.

No, I didn't mean it had to be completely colorful, just some color in it.
And what do you think about the size restrictions? I think I'm going to scrap that, TBQH, I don't like it very much.
