I agree with you HQ. We could have sig making comps and the rest of the members could vote on the best



Seems ok by me. I'm glad of the topic to use the program. B)

Others are more skilled than me, but I figure I've more imagination. *brags* king.gif

Though i am new to this forum a would love to enter in a competition but only on the grounds its not taken to seriously after all it should be fun to enter and we should encourage other members to join in?

Another thing we need someone independent to think of what kind of sig we have to make each time someone who doesn't enter in to the competition only suggests themes and controls the thread?

We should be allowed a proper signature size i suggest 500x300 what do you think?

Sig size is 500 x 120. (forum rules)

The prize is getting the person to use the sig...what higher accolade is there?




Hey Tusc...lets see what you can do with Andrew 1960.

Here's the kickoff. (I'll find better, but it's a start.)

We may be sorting out a true completion.

and to make it fair it'll be a sort of non-person...random details and a googled pic, then see what we make of it.

That's how I'd do it.

(PS...it's "else")
tuscan
cool what ever i'm happy to take part but i think it should just be done on themes and we sort out our own pictures or words that way we get a varied mix of signatures............but really it's up to you lot i dont mind ether way.........

Else DOH!!!!!!!!!!!!!


(PS.. Its competition LOL )

I like this one it looks "Scottish" with the flag, clouds and the Robbie Burns quote.
Babylon
Dunno if this is in the right place?

Just an idea for future competitions, if we all have the same pics to play with, it's always interesting to see what different things can be done.
Scorpio
How do you mean?
Scorpio
Oh sorry doh.gif i misread "same pics" boredom1111111111.gif

Yes that would be a good idea. We could give you a few particular images and tell you what text to use and see what everyone comes up with
tuscan
Well that sound well and good but dont you find that abit restrictive babylon......................
Babylon
A bit, but its interesting to see different styles given the same pics...

I wish we could go bigger for the comp say 400x400 ... the sig size is very limiting

but rules are rules and I always do as I'm told fraidso.gif
tuscan
I said that at the beginning the sig size is small but they wont change it...........

It doesnt always have to be sig competitions. It can be general pics of different sizes too
tuscan
cool
Babylon
Can't wait cool.gif

Scorpio

I've loved them, wish I had more time to enter them all.


Scorpio
Glad you're enjoying them. Do you think we should do them less often maybe?
I am the devil
Could do with more time on each one I only just got my one in on time. panic.gif
Scorpio
That seems fair. We'll probably extend the time, then
tuscan
Taken from the Comp #6 thread

Thats given me an idea maybe we should do a competition about some one on this forum?

we could do a picture or something (not a sig though because thats been done) what do you think?
FBG
that's a good idea tuscan
andy1960
It does if you pick on the right person hehehehe

I'm think i'll finish my pic for the comp tomorrow morning
after my nightshift and it will help to have a little bram just
so nessie feels relaxed you understand delicious.gif

Scorpio
Everyone still happy with how the competitions are going? I'm not talking about who's winning tongue.gif
Rach227
yes lol they're going good
I am the devil
I didn't do the story one, to much typing for me fraidso.gif it reminded me to much of school homework erm.gif
(not that puters had been invented then) but the competitions give a bit of a buzz to the old place and get people posting so keep them coming but I don't have any photo editing software so my sigs are a bit plain but i I give it a go for a bit of fun.
Rach227
haha 500 words isn't enough for me I have to redo it cos I can't get a solid ending to it.

I had to chop bits out too. 500 sounds a lot, but it isn't.
Rach227
it really isn't 1000 might've done it tongue.gif
Scorpio
Sorry you two i was talking about Graphics competitions poke.gif

Devil, try GIMP. Its better than paint, but still free. I use it delicious.gif
tuscan

Rach227
That'd be good more comps yey!! As soon as I think of how to change my short story...
