[COMPETITION] Design the RaGEZONE Awards 2017 Userbar!

[Elian]

Hello fellow RaGEZONERs,

Every year I promise myself ''THIS YEAR I'M GOING TO WIN SOMETHING''. And now another year has passed and no one wants to "meet me irl'', thinks I'm the best newcomer or will vote me as most loveable.

But what I AM good for is giving you guys an amazing opportunity to win a *drum roll* subscription! ()Actually wont be me personally giving you the sub this is ofcourse all because of MentaL)

Unlike me, people that actually will win need a custom userbar. Make this year's userbars and if your userbar is voted best, you will receive a subscription of your choice, except V.I.P.

Whatever you design, it must contain the following:

• username of the winner
• the award
• ''RaGEZONE Awards 2017''

There are no specifications for size except that it should fit inside someone's signature!


Here are some examples from the past:









Just post your entries in this thread. Entries are open until Tuesday the 14th of November!

Have fun and GOOD LUCK GUYS!

Paging @Jaximus and @FCV2005 for their participation in 2016. @fallenfate, @Taiga, @Skansmer for their entries in 2015.
P'raps you'd like to design this year's awards?

[Jaximus]

Not sure if I'll have time but I'll see what I can do.

A whole week, yet no entries at all?
Will consider posting an entry if I'll have time later this week, though won't be too fancy..

Spoiler:

P.S. My subscription is going to end soon, got to get a new one, will it be my third year with a free sub in a row? ^.^

Sorry all, my time is spent surviving my final weeks of being the only full-time person at work and having to handle 200 students. Any downtime I get is spent drinking to destress and using sleeping pills to try and sleep.

Best of luck to people who enter :).

I don't ever usually compete within these art based competitions but I guess it's worth a try. (Maybe)

I'm going to join as soon as I found some way to convert a video or image sequence to a high quality gif. It looks like there is no way around using photoshop for that (which I don't have). Online converters are just garbage honestly.

The quality and compression of your previous awards is stunning @Jaximus. Would you mind giving a few tips or even a small tutorial on how you converted that? Or did you completely design these using Adobe products? Would greatly appreciate it :)

Oh and @Elian , are we good to shorten ''RaGEZONE Awards 2017'' into ''RZ Awards 2017'' ? x)
Every pixel counts, you know?

Thanks ^^

These are my optimized "Export for Web" settings in Photoshop CC



And here is a small overview of what one award GIF consists of:

He said it's okay only if you give me the sub in case you win :P

My first, but also probably my only concept/entry. Had some time this evening now but will most likely not have any more time.
As people wished for something new, I changed up the style, while still keeping the same feel that I personally like.

PS: Obviously not final version. If it would be picked I'd ofcourse invest the time to make the BG fully transparent and fix some details and make it a bit better.
