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*

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")

Apr 20 2008, 08:59 PM
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.

Apr 24 2008, 08:13 AM
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
Apr 24 2008, 09:25 AM
How do you mean?
Scorpio
Apr 24 2008, 09:36 AM
Oh sorry

i misread "same pics"

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
Apr 24 2008, 10:23 AM
Well that sound well and good but dont you find that abit restrictive babylon......................
Babylon
Apr 24 2008, 10:43 AM
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
tuscan
Apr 24 2008, 10:50 AM
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

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?
that's a good idea tuscan

I didn't do the story one, to much typing for me

it reminded me to much of school homework

(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.
