Here is the discussion thread.
I forgot to do this & thank you to Sargon for pointing this out.
For this Fun Challenge you are making an avatar/sig set for AFG.
All of the entries will be available for him to use but we will have a People's Choice Award for the 3 favourite sets chosen by a poll.
Rules:
Avatar must be no more than 100x100 pixels. Signature must be no more than 500x200.
One entry per person. Post your entry here. It does not need to be 100% PDN but must be manipulated in some way in PDN. This means stock is permitted but you must link to it.
Changes are permitted up to voting. You are encouraged to give constructive feedback to each other here.
The challenge will be open for entries until midnight 14 May & the poll will open a day later & run for a week. Times are Australian Eastern Standard Time which I think is about 12 hours ahead of most of you but if it is getting close & you still have to finish, let me know & I'll hold off a bit longer.
All of the entries will be available for AFG to use, not just the ones that got a place.
Please feel free to discuss & ask questions. Have fun!

Nope it does not need to be 100% PDN but must be modified/manipulated in PDN. Stock is permitted but must be linked to. Why do sigs contain text? Nope, I think the question is more why is the focus of the sig, the actual text. Good question...I dunno. Looking at Chrisco's & other great sig artists work, the focus is the image & not the text. I guess for me I relate a sig to a person's signature (literal) since I sign everything as barbieq with a heart replacing the "i". In art we have signature styles (music too). Your question, Sargon, really has made me think. It has also given me an idea for the another challenge.

Extended deadline to 31 May. I should have my new pc tomorrow & I will get cracking on something for AFG. Please don't be afraid to make something just because AFG's work is so good. As a help to newer ones, AFG likes Pink Floyd Photomanips are accepted...

Just had a look at the entries so far, WONDERFUL ;D
@ Ventor : like it a lot
@ barbieq : Love the jewel and cogs for "Time" ( the jewel also adds "Pulse" in there) , I also see DSOTM and The Wall, but what I really love is the use of the bowler hats for "Wish You Were Here"
@ Pixey : Great take on "The Wall" theme

Seeing as it's a fun challenge can't we not submit 2 entries ? I'm undecided on which of the 2 files I've started tonight for this thread to use

Given that I am the moderator of this challenge, I hereby make a democratic, unanimous, executive decision ;D & allow up to 3 entries for those who are inclined to make more for AFG.
In future, we will also allow more entries in the interest of art & all things PDN.

I posted this is the poll discussion. I should have put it here...
Ok, results are in...I left it a bit longer since we have ties for first & second places.
Congratulations WelshBlue & Lance for their winning entries! Ventor1 & barbieq entries are in second place. Pixey's entry is third.
Thanks to all who entered & voted. Congratulations to our winners & runner-ups.
Now we need a new theme: Lance & Welshy, would you think of one please?

We did ? S**t I only entered to keep the numbers up. With good intentions to post 2 but the 2nd never got finished. My bad. Especially as it was me who asked if we could post multiple entries I'm rubbish @ choosing themes, if Lance wants to choose one that's fine with me. If I was pushed to choose one it would be to design an Anti-Virus userface. Thanks to those who voted for me and to BarbieQ' for hosting this. I've only just realised you're a Mod'

I've only just realised you're a Mod' Don't worry, Welshy, with me being away at the beach, I have finally come home today, to catch up on some readings. An Anti-Virus interface sounds really cool. That's a pretty cool idea.

Post by barbieq25 on Jul 30, 2011 22:41:25 GMT
Oh goodness! Yes, we should.
Lance & Welshy made a comment about the next theme being a skinning thing for an anti-virus program. Guys can you let me know as you were the winners. I know nothing about skinning ('cept maybe a couple of cats ;D ) Need the rules etc.

I'll let Welshy come up with the rules. I always seem to miss something when it comes to making rules, and I do hope AFG wear his tags.

I forgot about this. Too much going on.
How about another banner competition ? Find 2 to go with Goon's current one as we never see PP or Possum.
Or at least I don't

You're home now mate is AFG going to wear the winning tags ... I had forgot about this, I can either crop the posted images to separate the sig and avvie or post me a link to the separate images and I will be delighted to use them, I feel really embarrassed and ungrateful that you all took the time to make them and I have not used them.... sincere apologies

Interesting idea . Does that mean we'll have to show ourselves in the poster?

That would be interesting. But I'd rather write or direct than act.
