Good evening everybody and welcome to Semi Final 2!
Before we get to the banners let me first say some words about the banner concept.
Since we thought this edition should be a warm, joyful, colorful and vivacious edition and since Valparaiso has a mediterrean climate we decided to put the flags over a sun symbol. After we had finished the banners I realized the flags now resemble flowers rather than suns but it is still in compliance with the basic idea. For my banners I actually added an effect that should make them look shiny.
Another little gimmick I added to my banners you can find in the country names. You can see the colour shade and its intensity of the latters are uneven. This is because I superimposed the country names onto the beautiful and pure water of the Petrohué waterfall, one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Chile.
The font itself is actually a Mexican inspired font, but we found it pretty neat and with those zigzag lines in the letters it fits well to the half-transparent zig zag background we used.
