Ok, here we go!
Contest #1
*drum rolls*

Design a banner. It has to be Purdey / The New Avengers related.
Maximum width 500
Maximum height 250
It has to contain the words Absolutely Joanna Lumley, or Joanna Lumley Fan Forum is allowed too.
You've got 2 weeks to send in your entries, so until February 7th. Afterwards everyone will have a chance to vote for their favourite for 1 week, starting on February 8th. (don't vote for your own banner)
Do not post your entries on the website, but email them to: staff.absolutelyjoannalumley@hotmail.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false"
Also, when voting, do not mention which one's yours.
I guess that's about it. So....have fun!

EDIT
Closing date has been postponed until February 14th

Oh, man, and the topic's right up my street, too. Why do I have so much to do?

Is it one entry per person, then?

^Oh I actually didn't think about that.
Well let's make it a maximum of 3 then shall we

Okay, then! (Darn, but I need more hours in the day).

I'd say, work your artsy magic everyone

Just sent in my entries. Nothing too fancy, but I was lucky to get them in at all. I look forward to seeing what everyone else comes up with.

I just hope other people start making some soon, because you're the first!
I'll have a look at them straightaway

ok, just need to download a free trial of a photoshoppy type programme that I havent used before! which I am doing now, so hopefully I'll make one tonight

I'm a bit hit and miss when it comes to sizes of banners though....would you say that the Joanna forum header is roughly 500 by 200?

Well if you look at the ones I make, they're 400 x 200, so they can be slightly bigger than mine.
And if you can't make it in time, we can postpone the end date of the contest ofcourse, just yell (or shout tit loudly)

TIT! (has got nothing to do with the competition, I just don't like my neighbours)

Anyway anyway anyway - I'll start working on it, maybe today. I've been so terribly busy lately, and I haven't exactly found much inspiration yet, I think I might need to watch a 'lil bit more TNA..

So, would anyone here like an extra week? Because if that's the case, we'll postpone the closing date until the 14th.

Does it mean I have more time to do something decent?
Wait a bit, perhaps you will get a lot of works during this evening and tomorrow...

Yes please. I think I can do some PS tonight, but it usually takes a few days 'till I'm really satisfied..

Consider it done

ok just finished an entry.... still debating whether or not to send it

Send it send it, come one darling, your art is fab

Sent mine! I hope its Fab enough.

I haven't received yours yet darling. Are you sure you send it to the right email address?

What what..stupid computer. I think I did. If not ditzy me. I will re-send. Sorry.

Don't apologize.
Are you sure you got the email address correct? Anyway I'm very curious about your entry
We've got 8 entries so far (not by 8 different people, mind)

I finally managed to get the full Photofiltre Studio program (and not just the 30 days trial) so I could finally work out some ideas. It's quite a though one since most pictures of Jo taken back then are ones with either Gareth or Patrick, or the B/W stuff, so I had experiment a bit... I'll send the first one (more may follow) as soon as I'm finally satisfied.

^That's fine babe.
BTW Gareth and Patrick are allowed to be in them though, it is after all TNA

You can never have enough Gareth or Patrick. What's Purdey without Gambit and Steed? (A really odd blonde with a kicking habit.)

^^

Oh I know, don't worry.. (I just want it to be more Purdey than Steed focused)

What about Purdey and Gambit focussed? Do you sense a trend with me on this topic?

(Maybe she could pass the kicking off as a nervous twitch?)
