Graphic Design Contests

**applefan9** · 02:23 AM

300x250 and 250x250 variation of the same thing

LEFT SIDE:
Big bald head of 40 year old man looking up and smiling happily.

RIGHT SIDE:
I got paid $25 for taking a survey!

*green color except for $25, which should be orange
* $25 should be throbbing, pulsating, and beating.

UNDERNEATH TEXT ON RIGHT SIDE:
I'll teach you how

*blue link with yellow smiley face to the right of it.

FONT FACE FOR ALL TEXT:
Arial Rounded font - preview & download

If there is not enough space to fit both the fat man's face and the text on the same side, simply do a quick switch. The fat man's face shouldn't appear on the banner for very long at all because it communicates nothing, and it is better to switch quickly to the text. The fat man's face will fill up most of the area on one side, and the text will be centered on the other side. If you choose this option, simply make the $25 orange WITHOUT the pulsing, beating, etc.

Do you have a custom picture of the man, or we should find one ?

commando just asking have you ever won anything on these forums? you should also try (if you can) get jobs which are 1 to 1 it's an easier way to make money where as contests you are risking doing work and they might just walkout on you. But entering contests is a good way to learn so i guess thats why you enter all these

.

----edit
^^^^^IGNORE THIS BULL****!

That is none of your bussiness, but I hate it when someone underrestimates me so:

I do this competitions for FUN, and everything I post here is a quick job, It's like testing new concepts and ways of work, as I have done many posts on this topic and you should first read them.
As for the "trying to get a job" I work web & graphics design since I was 14, and done more full websites than you can imagine, I currently work for 2 companies that want fully coded and designed websites, and they pay allot. I'm not working just on this site, so yes, I have won contests (here only one till now), and I use those money for photoshop plugins and other addons, I even buy other software for quick work. But graphic and web-design is not my main proffession, I do .Net Programming, Commercial mIRC Scripting, and I currently work on a very big project for Second-Life (If you don't know what's this check out secondlife.com).

**Neonimage** · 08-22-2006, 03:43 PM

Yes ok im sorry

i went over the top and and i suppose they are pretty fun now come to think of it

**applefan9** · 08-22-2006, 04:45 PM

Don't have a custom picture of the man. Try to find one.

**eyeqizzle** · 08-22-2006, 05:17 PM

Anyone else finding that 95% of these contests are ripoffs...

**Neonimage** · 08-22-2006, 05:19 PM

Yeah i know lol
but if you water mark your stuff then at least you know they cant runoff with you logo or what ever it is

**eyeqizzle** · 08-22-2006, 06:43 PM

For Flash stuff though, all they have to do is download a decompiler and can easy take the watermarks out.

**CoMmAnDo** · 08-22-2006, 07:59 PM

But it will never be good like the original fla

Good shout eyegizzle but if they are prepared to create a contest on the forum for other people to do the work its likely that they dont have either the time, patience or knowledge to mess around with decompilers and edit the graphics themselves.

Just a thought.

**CoMmAnDo** · 08-23-2006, 09:32 AM

Well b0881, eyegizzle was right about the decompilers, many people know how to mess with the decompilers, but don't have the knowledge or maybe imagination to create a graphic design, that's why the most secure way Is by adding a watermark + use one of those encrypting proggies to mess up the code, so that decompiler won't actually have an easy job

**Neonimage** · 08-23-2006, 03:50 PM

to stop this you could open up the file and play it and record it using a screen recorder then it doesn't have any layers so nobody can take off the water mark =D just a thought tho..

**applefan9** · 08-24-2006, 04:09 AM

Ami wins the contest Again!
