I thought for sure that 50kb would make Flash out of the question, but mine ended up at only 26kb somehow...
Flash compiler is very good at making small file sizes.

yeah this one is gonna be a toughie. i thought of making more but if there are 50 entries you're likely to end up with 6 tied winners of 3 votes each.... then again maybe we all get surprised.

Here is my second submission called "artcoder comp2" ...
Full image here.

Background: DreamsTime.com #4764405
Banner is an animated GIF with a subtle button glow effect. Human faces tends to attract viewers attention. The orange and blue are good complementary colors that go well together. Slight drop shadow to give the text a little "pop".

Thanks. Here is my third and final entry: "artcoder comp3"
Link to fullsize imageIt uses Dreamstime stock image #2426729 and the Baveuse font.
Stock images are good for backgrounds, but they are also good for selecting color schemes. The dark brown text over the light brown background goes very well together. This is known as an "analogous color scheme" and the two colors had been sampled from the stock image.
The white outline on the text with subtle drop shadows give the letters better definition and make them stand out from the grunge circles. The grunge circles were a bit too strong in the stock image, so I had to decrease its opacity to 40%. I also had to move the circles around to make appropriate room for the text.
You can see the original
stock image here.
I didn't animate this one this time, but certainly can do so if bigwebmaster wants it.

Heyy,
Wow, it's been a while since I was last on,

sorry, but I hope to change that now, since school's over.

Uhm, I'm not too sure how to attach my banners, lol, help me?
If it's under the "Additional Posting Preferences", for some reason I can't click 'Option' (although it shows up as a link)...I'm using FF3. :S
Thanks, and sorry for my stupidity
