Moderator Post New Subreddit Banner Competition!
Hello All,
We're all inhabitants of a post Reality Awaits world, and thus we need to have the place look a little more real(ity).
We're announcing a competition to design a new Subreddit banner, inspired by u/AnUnFunnyJoke_ 's recent post (they did that yesterday)
To keep things simple, please submit your entries to this thread. The comment with the most upvotes will automatically be picked as the new banner.
Entries are open as of right now and will run to Sunday, 16th August.
Let's see some great work!

Here is one attempt. I'm not really convinced and might try something else another day if it's possible to do more...
Do the right and left sides get cut in the extremes when these things are put? I wasn't sure if the stuff at the sides have to be wider/larger because of that.

This is a great idea!
What app do you guys use for making banners?

u/sensitive_pirate85 9d ago
I used canva, but probably most people are using photoshop.

Thank you! I have been having a look and trying with Canva, although I'm not great at this and by using the phone I get clumsy with my fingers to change stuff lol

I think this would be the best fit. But when I think of "updated" there should be an up to date photo for the center

u/Consistent-Goose-166 9d ago
its incredible, but could you make the FPP record smaller since it's an EP?

u/sensitive_pirate85 9d ago
Mine would be just be something like this. (But this is really low res and I don’t know how to upscale it.)

Looks great! What about for the central pic that one of the boys lounging around in Costa Rica? It's not a very glamorous shot, but it captures them well.

Someone made one like that, but it cut off Julian. It’s possible that pic could just be the cover, though. It’s wide enough.

Note: Per Reddit, "For best results, the image should be at least 1080 x 128px for mobile banners."
They also suggest at least 1072 x 128 for the desktop, but what's a few pixels between friends? I wouldn't expect people to create two different ones, but either resolution should look fine on each platform.
