    You can submit the design you have by posting the image as a reply to this thread or sending me a PM of the link to the image.

    Any image type is fine, however .jpg image files are preferred.

    Hope that helps :)

    You can PM it to me or post it as a reply. I would ask you to post it as a reply so it will motivate others to participate and make designs but that's up to you :)

    I had a design to enter until my computer went nuts... now it's gone, haven't had the time or will to remake it. :( Hopefully more people enter, it would be nice to see at least more than one design. Curious to see what PSU made too.

    O.M.F.G. I can't find my design!!!!!!!!!!

    Well I can find it but its like it didn't save any of the last changes its just the basic stuff again. Looks like I'll have to do some of it all over again. Ah well, guess that leaves room for improvement.

    Since I know you guys are dying to find out (if only!) here's what i have that saved-

    *don't worry about blurriness, that's just from the host, actual file isn't blurry.

    Nice design psu :)

    Yea, it's really bad when your computer decides to backfire when you finished working on a project. It's as if your computer is like "*makes obnoxious evil laugh* muahahaha". hehe, hope you guys finish your designs by the time the contest finishes ^_^

    Made a few more changes. Now I have a question, do you a big image in the middle or do you want it to stay like that, since this is being done for a YouTube background and there's gonna be stuff all over it like Subscribers, I figured you might just want it like this so that it looks nice behind everything. And don't say "it's up to you" because deep down, I'm really not all that creative.

    Nice design but the Warhammer logo at the right side has a border line showing. Should it be erased? And yea, most likely we don't need an image in the middle since it will be covered.

    Woops I didn't even notice that. Just a sec.....

    Here's it without the border, that was weird, idk how that got there.

    And I guess that will be my submission then too, I'll PM you the actual file, ImageShack makes that one look blurrier than it should be.

    Had some time to make another Design, went simple focusing on compatibility with different screen rez's so it's cut off for the least amount of people as possible.

    1280x800 will be slightly cut off anything higher shouldn't be, 1024x768 will see just a little on each side(nothing I can do without messing up all the higher rez's) anything lower shouldn't see anything.

    I put it on my youtube page for an example:

    YouTube - Aaddron's Channel

    It leaves a lot of free space, which could be filled with a repeated background... I might add some more stuff too if I get the time.

    Here's the image itself:
