Graphic Submission Requirements Options

[Gypsy Eyes]

Many people ask us what we are looking for in graphics, and what they should submit. Here's a loose set or rules/requirements that we have put together:

General
-Smooth lines (As in not pixelated)
-No copyright images.
-Good quality
-Good color coordination

Photos
-Any submitted photos must be taken by you! Do NOT submit any images under photos that you did not personally take
-The image has to be in focus
-If the quality is grainy, it will be rejected
-No personal pictures. Keep in mind these pictures are to be used for graphics. No one is going to want a silly picture of you and your friend.
-If there are already too many that are similar, it won't be accepted. (ie: no more heart hands, hands spelling out love, eyes, stop/danger/road signs, etc). Check around before you submit

Avatars/Icons
-No bigger than 100x100px.
-Not an exact copy of a tutorial (as in using the exact same effects and images)
-More than just a cropped image (unless it suits the icon)

Backgrounds
-At least 800x600px (unless it's a repeated pattern)
-It must be made by you. This does not mean slapping some text onto an image. It includes altering it.
-Good, crisp quality
-Repeated backgrounds: try not to make is to simple (ie: just dots/lines) There will be exceptions to this of course, if it is unique
