Popular Post highvoltage Posted April 19, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 19, 2014 Will the graphically talented please stand up? We're looking for you!We're due for a facelift, and it's time for a graphical revamp of the current skin. The forum will be undergoing a major upgrade within 6 months, and we would ideally like the winner to help with graphics for the updated site as well (down the track). There are 3 main images to update:Logo (300px x 115px):Banner (1920px x 115px): Forum icon (62px x 30px):In terms of what we want with the banner - it's really open season. It can be of any lineup (yes, the banner can include Slash), or can be more of a themed/abstract banner, rather than straight photographs as we have now. It's really up to you.The logo can have stars like it does now, or be something completely different. Colors can be changed, but it has to fit in with the current overall look of the forum. We can tweak the skin a little if you have some ideas that require it.THE PRIZE - RED HAND CD: We are excited to announce a *VERY* special prize, which was kindly donated (anonymously) to the forum. The winner of the competition will win a RARE, sealed copy of Chinese Democracy featuring the alternate RED HAND artwork. This was one of the three versions originally intended for release and features alternate artwork on the cover, booklet and disc itself. There are only 15-20 that are publicly known to be in the hands of collectors, and they have been known to go for anywhere between $500-1000. This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance for you to own a copy!The actual prize is pictured here:You can see scans of the full booklet at Troccoli's site (different copy pictured): http://www.troccolitm.com/CDChiDemRedHand.htmlJUDGING THE WINNER:The winner will be determined by members of the board - click "like" on the entry you want to win in this thread.Artists, post your entries in this thread, and the entry with the most likes will win the competition. The votes will be calculated at the end, and will be weighted as follows:Members: Vote counts for 1 pointSupporters: Vote counts for 5 pointsStaff: Votes count for 10 pointsYou may only vote for one entry! I will tally up the votes at the end of the competiton; if you vote for more than one entry, your vote will not be counted.FAQ:How long will the competition run?Anywhere between 4-8 weeks, depending on the quality of entries we receive. I'd like to have it judged and finished by the end of May.Do I have to use the same dimensions as the existing graphics?For the most part, yes. There is a little flexibility with some of the dimensions, but it's fairly rigid. PM me if you would like to submit graphics with different dimensionsCan we use official images/logos?I would prefer that no licensed images are used, and definitely no logos. Use the photographer's permission wherever possible. I have a couple of albums on Flickr with images that are free for use (some good shots in the Adelaide set): https://www.flickr.com/photos/56818207@N05/sets/ENTRIES:I will update this section with links to any entries to make it easier to find them allLooking forward to seeing what you guys come up with! And please, if you want to see more great giveaways like this one - please consider sparing a couple of bucks to support the forum: http://www.mygnrforum.com/index.php?/donate/ 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bacardimayne Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 (edited) Minor nitpick, but are you sure that's a sealed copy? I can't see any shrinkwrap.That said, very cool contest. Looking forward to the much needed renovations.Oh, and the flickr link doesn't work. Neither does the troccoli one.
