My Congratulations to Yusuf.To all the other participants,I want to say you guys are good.I believe everyone is a winner.Beautiful designs,unique concepts,great contest.You guys are the bomb.Cheers!!!

AreaDaddy: All @lightup's ads have a "call to action" only one of @Yusuf16's ads have that. That would have swung it for me in Lightup's favour. Having said that they are both very good, clean and creative

yusufu16's ads have calls to action too: "click here to listen free", "catch the action live", "join the NDA", "learn programming", "catch excitement". Considering the size of the ads, I think yusufui6's approach of weaving the call to action element into the body of the ad is as good as, and sometimes better than, the regular practice of making the call to action a separate element with a generic phrase like "click now".

@yusufu congrats n to all the runner ups,you are simply the best. Nairaland has never ceased to amaze me since I joined this greatest forum,I must say that my life has positively changed for the best. LonG NL. I love designing but I don't know how to design. Oga seun please I plead that you open a thread that would teach those people that love designing but are not acquaint with designing so that we could learn how to design something.thank you in advance for honouring my request.

Congrats to the winner sha, and erad, sowie bro, and congrats too...@easykobo...i've bn wondering who did those designs for u...buh now i knw better...one word tho, try using those font colours in ur next designs, they look bright and catchy..GOODLUCK!

Nice one Seun ....see what ave missed had it been I know how to design I for enter the competition --
Plx can someone teach me how to design banner like that what software is best and easy ?

When will @seun organise sumtin like dis for web designers na?

@easykobo
I think your designs look too casual. A more robust design is what you need in order to draw more traffic and attract more and more visitors

True talk, d initial designs look childish

@Seun i cannot believe this, i don't complain, but i had to do say this, my ads deserve way-better than just being placed on the "other contestants category" considering your approach on your reviews, but anyway you made your choice, but i think my ads is worth taking a second look at.

We've created a "notable entry" section to promote designers like you whose entries were quite good but didn't make the top 4. I hope you like it!

wow. All i can do is to congratulate the winner.. thought i had the competition nailed. its all good. Atleast i know i am part of the best.

yusuf congrats jooor.
no mind all these designers who spam the forum with so much of adverts.
now there is a contest no one dey show face.

Mr Johnthentic, if anybody is supposed to complain, they are the 3 runner ups. They were closer to the prize than others. please can you just learn how to take criticisms and reform it to better yourself professionally? Its a shame you have to resort to this..The truth of the matter now is that Yesufu is smiling to go withdraw his N50k seun paid this morning. (thats if he has already ). Just kidding. What i am saying is that its easier to get to the top but its hard staying there. So u my friend should have an easy ride with yours to the top.

Johnthentic:
it`s your mouth, you say whatever you like and i donnt care.

you gat me smh

Johnthentic:

My brother take it easy okay, i know u understand wat u r trying to say here, but sometimes, we human being thinks differently, i could remember sometime around march/april, when Waje dropped an open competition for graphic designers to design her CD album cover design with her 2 pics which she droped and music write ups, its was someone dat alerted me, they got almost 50 submissions of designs and my designs was 3rd 2 d last, its was an open contest were professional designers and fans has to vote deir choice, But at d end of d day, they announced d winner that will get 1st 500dollars instantly, and get another 500dollars at d album launching, but my head dey boil badly becos na photoshop,fireworks,indesign naim i use 4 d design een to d extent fans and prof designers were sayin my was d best......after many many mending!! d next day, naim dem request for my azar, omon naim dem wire 75k enter my Azar....So na so d whole case take close........ so my Bros just take ham easy, cos i believe say seun go reason ur matter well well, and compensate u.... but dis yusuf look familiar o, u sure say u non dey that contest, cos i see name like yusuf but forgot d surname.

Johnthentic: SAY THAT TO YOUR FUTURE HUSBAND NOT ME, SINCE THE DAY YOU WERE GIVEN BIRTH TO, "such a sore bitter loser." IS THE MEANING OF YOUR NAME.

You go binu sotay you go hug transformer.Yusuf won and there's nothing positive your crying and wailing can do.If anything,it has shown that you are such a bitter Bierce.

Stop hating,work on yourself or you'll die of bile.
