5. Banner Content: No manipulated images of Lucy permitted, only real Lucy images should be used.
Category 1 - Lucy Lawless.info Banner: The title "Lucy Lawless" without quote marks must be clearly and easily seen on the banner. Lucy should be the main person pictured in the AUSXIP Lucy Lawless.info banner. Images from the X:WP and H:TLJ TV series can be included however the banner cannot contain just those images. The images used should be a mix that represents various aspects of Lucy, not just her Xena and Herc years.
For example, here is the current AUSXIP Lucy Lawless.info banner. Please note that Yuku has automatically reduced the size so it could be posted in this topic:
Category 2 - Lucy Lawless Flawless Diva Banner: The title "Lucy Lawless - Flawless Diva" or "Flawless Diva - Lucy Lawless" without quote marks and at your option with or without a dash must clearly and easily be seen on the banner. All images must focus on Lucy's music career.
For example, here is a previous AUSXIP Lucy Lawless Flawless Diva music site banner. Please note that the height size of this older banner is incorrect and Yuku has automatically reduced the width size so it could be posted in this topic. Banners must be 763 x 175 pixels:
