One of the best contest here on Steemit is the @sndbox's monthly thumbnail competition. I was able to participate in round 4 and now, I still want to give it a try. My banner concept is a city feels or the world of @sndbox.
Using Adobe Photoshop CS5, I created a canvas, 1000 pixels (width) by 600 pixels (height). At first, I was able to create a simple design but then I thought it was too plain, isn't it?
So, I have added components to add flavor and life to this simple banner. Using the Photoshop's shape tools, I drew every components added - buildings, cars, clouds, hot air balloons, trees.
It took me hours to achieve this since I created two many shape layers then converted it as smart objects just to organize everything.
I will try to think of another banner concept and see if I can submit another entry. If you want to be part of this interesting competition, you can check out the rules on @sndbox's Round5 Thumbnail Competition post.
