Guest NGOG Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 There is a Red Hand now up for $355, again, NOONE buy it and the price will continue to drop drastically. If this guy has 90 copies, there is a good chance that any of the hardcores who want a copy will eventually get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willl Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 (edited) Yours is my favourite so far! I love those roses! The roses are taken from an official tour poster so surely falls under the same copyright issues as using album artwork? Is this allowed?

highvoltage Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share Posted May 17, 2014 ^ Not without express permission. Thanks for noticing that; shame, because I loved how they looked!I'm sure there are some stock images of cartoon roses that could be used instead, so please guys, no official stuff in there!

Manfisman Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I really think that would be VERY difficult to have a legal issue for having two roses taken from a 2-years-old poster. It's not like those roses are on a record. Anyway, I can change it if there is really an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GivenToFly Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I like this one the best so far, but the background makes the text a bit difficult to read, so it might be a bit hard to spot the search field if you're new and you don't know where it is. I suggest switching DJ and Frank's pics with Fortus and Pitman's, so you have darker shades under the white text. Also, maybe an outline to the letters in the logo.

I don't really know where to draw the line on it as far as exceptions go, you know?I know you've already done a lot of tweaking, so if it's too much trouble don't worry too much about it. If any other entrants feel it's unfair, send me a PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosaj Thing Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 You guys are exaggerating. Those roses are barely noticeable. And are roses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a problem with it, but some of the designs have official photos taken from the official website that are copyrighted. That would be official too. So if really nothing 'official' must be on the banner, everybody should change a lot of things. For me, it would be fair if the limit is not to use artworks from the albums.Anyway, I don't have a problem changing it. I'm a graphic designer, so I change a lot of things and a lot of times ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, maybe an outline to the letters in the logo.Thanks I switched them, but I dunno if it looks better, I like those positions, and I darkened the search bar with the HTML code in the same browser (changed rgba(0,0,0,0.4) to 0.5 or 0.6), it helps, the nugnr members in the right part looks very good as the Search Bar's "background", looks like a cool UI. Also if there is a problem with an specific image due to copyright, I can change it. Edited May 17, 2014 by NachoLZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I've said, any entrant that has an issue with the exception made for the roses in Manifsman's can PM me (so it's anonymous), and I will ask him to change it.If you see a graphic from a poster you want to use (like a rose, etc), I'm sure you can "appropriate" something similar from somewhere else. Fixed the image that was causing the malware thing, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
