The thing is that I am not good in graphics things, kinda at low level. So I need few people that are willing to take contest in making graphical layout for this site. For the time being I am only gathering information if anyone is willing participate in this contest. There is no need working on it. If there will not enough be enough participants then rules stay same:

---------------------------------

1st gets 160 hosting credits
2nd gets 100 hosting credits
3rd gets 70 hosting credits

---------------------------------

Color scheme of site stays the same, also layout. I want to see your new ideas to spice up this graphical layout that have been done by me, although there will be some changes to this layout, not major one, I will present this changes later on when whole thing will be started.

---------------------------------

In hope of seeing interest for this contest.

Best regards, Robert

How do you plan on awarding credits? Have you asked an admin?

[rvovk]

Yes, Opaque informed me it is possible. Here it can be done.

Yeah, was gonna say - how you gonna pull that off?
I actually think your site's fine as it is. Certainly a lot better than most I've seen hosted on Trap17.

[rvovk]

I am perfection junky, LOL. And it is possible with transfer script Opaque has made, if there wasn't possibility to make transer by me, then admins has this ability to do transfer.

[cragllo]

So... Do you have 330 credits to give away? 789!!! WOW!! how have you got so many? I got 12

[rvovk]

I gave 40$ to Opaque.

after a few edits and the right slicing here you go

[biscuitrat]

Ugh, I'm gonna need a little time for this. I can give you a nice CSS layout, if you'd like.

[Sprite]

Hmm... Wonderin... Anyone wanna team up w/ me? I can make the layout they can code it, we split credits if we get any.

[BlaqueMajik]

Saint_Michael, it looks like all you did with that layout from freepsd.com is change the text and a few small more things. :\

Sure, I'll do it with you. I'm not a graphics buff, as you've noticed. PM me for details

[OpaQue]

rvovk has 330 credits in his bank. The bank can be considered as a demand draft. Once credits are transfer to the bank, they cannot be taken back. So those 330 credits now, nolonger belong to rvovk.

Any member who wants to confirm this, can use the form at http://www.trap17.com/process/ to view rvovk credits and bank credits.

[rvovk]

Rules are following:

1. Original template and picture of sunflower are available in links I gave.

2. DON'T change position. height or width of any element of layout. Try to apply 2D (rasterized graphics) to elements. Use of color scheme that was used in original template MUST NOT be changed.

3. Layers LEFT BAR and LEFT HEADING needs some workout, be imaginitive here. Try to do film strip out of it. Example of film strip: here. Work on header too. But remember: NO COLOR CHANGING, NOR POSITION, NOR SHAPE!

4. DON'T tag finnished layout with your Copyright signs. Copyright will belong to me, since I am awarding winning contestors with hosting credits:

1st place gets 160 hosting credits
2nd place gets 100 hosting credits
3rd place gets 70 hosting credits

(Credits are divided if more members were in same project e.g. 2 members@template -->80 credits for each one for 1st place).

5. Choosing of wining templates will be done by Rvovk, there will also be vote on Trap17, but final word is on me.

6. Deadline for templates is Semptember 1st. Results will be declared on September 10th.

7. All works are sent to email: robertv@najdi.si

8. Sent templates must be in TIFF (uncompressed and unmreged) format, enclosed with list of member or members that worked on project and PM me here at Trap17 that you have sent me work at my email.

9. If any rules aren't followed then you template will not come to finals.

10. I wish you all Godspeed.

Robert

Heres mine... I put a watermark on it - i brushed it and did some different effects/added some... It would have been better but you gave some strict limits. I didnt change anything.

Ahh... forgot the template URL... can a mod merge this post or somethin?

Oke after some suggestions I have decided that this rules can be obeyed, but if you think you can make totaly new layout, then go ahead and try to be innovative

I will be satisfied with new layout but it should be done very well.
So Sprite give your best to me.

So anyone thinking about new layout can make new layout, others can work on old one, so we will have wider choice of layouts at the end, if any

I cant code it, sorry but i can make a png/psd file for you... It'll be way better than the other one. Sorry i had to do it so crappy you request was hard...

Im should have it done by tommorow.

[rvovk]

No problem, Sprite. Sometimes I am seeking into perfection. Damn me, hopefuly I didn't offended you before but any layout that will be done will go to final choice. Sprite, I really liked your Train (photo manipulation), great one.

Actually, I found a slight workaround to that...IM me sometime and I'll fill you in.

[rvovk]

So tommorow is 1st of September, summer holidays will end, school begins and three lucky Trap17ers will get alltogether 330 hosting credits.

Here are 3 templates I got till date:

Concertina

Saint-Michael

Sprite

Tommorow contest ends up. It is 5pm here, so little less then 7 hours. Prices will be declared soon after that date, since there aren't lot of contestors.

[Phyre]

Crap.....I find out about this contest a few hours before it ends.....;; Thats quite a large amount of hosting credits you're giving away there O_O

[rvovk]

Well if you are quick fingered then you might do it

[machinamedia]

Excuse me if you consider i'm not pollite or something but the three templates are completely CRAP! They look like they're made in m$ pain by a kido or sumfin.
And i have an advice for you rvovk: If you want to get something good let the "clerk" to do his job. Don't tell him "do it like that, do it like that, do it in that way!". If you have ideeas apply them don't put others to do it. You'll never get something professional this way... because all you do it's to "block" designer's immagination...
Cheers!

[rvovk]

1st Concertina
2nd Sprite
3rd Saint Michael

[rvovk]

I can't award Sprite since he is not a hosted member. Please consult with Opaque.
