"Designing with the Stars", Take Joe-I-Can't-Design/Code-Crap and make him/her design... Options

PST! That's where the logo round comes in. You obviously have to cut down on the "rookies", so perhaps that round could be used to ... Remove (for lack of a nicer word) those that don't have at least the very, very basics down.

Things like pixelly isn't so good most of the time, and .GIF format isn't for many-coloured things. Just a thought ...

[technicolour]

K, what about this:

Assemble rookies or those interested.
Let them design a logo for themselves as for their own "company".

We need some sort of panel of people, and they'd cut down those who feel didn't meet the anty?

That sounds really awful..didn't mean for it to.

[Mulder]

^yea, the "stars" should outline "web-safe" formats, and when to use them.

i probably still have my webmastering handouts that explain it.

maybe we should explain that to the rookies before they even start.

[technicolour]

Web-safe?

I think I know what you mean..


Like, formats, resolution and shtuff?

[Mulder]

si.

for example:
.jpgs are great for gradients, or transitions in color, while .gifs are great for solid colors.
.pngs are great for both, but aren't very supported.

stuff like that.

[technicolour]

Well, then, yes. We should tell them this stuff before they start.

But first we need to get people? Shall I make a thread?

[Mulder]

sure. either you or a staffie.

[technicolour]

Meh. I'll do it. I'm so bored right now.

[Mulder]

^psst
maybe you should add whether they're signing up as a learner or a star.

or not. just a suggestion.

[technicolour]

In the topic title it says rookie application?

[Mulder]

^you know i missed that?

*hits head*

*hides under table*

[technicolour]

lol 'tis okay. I made a "Rookie" thread & a "Star" thread. Now all we need is people.

[*digital.fragrance*]

I'm wondering, should I move those threads you made to graphics? An leave links behind directing people to it? I could make a thread in the "current contest" with links to both of those applications, too.

[Mulder]

^i think they're fine here.

this is the contests forum, after all.

[technicolour]

yes...but no ones signed up. I say they go off to the graphics area. Or at least, someone make a thread in graphics with a link to here letting them know its going on.

[*mona lisa*]

Oh, yes. Great idea. Will do for both topics.

[*Duchess of Dork*]

Need....stars.

I'd love to apply for a rookie spot, but I'll hold off until I see more "Stars." :D

Thanks for making the threads! It's finally getting started.

[*Uronacid*]

I'm a rookie xD.... I think this looks interesting so I entered... xD

[Jeng]

whens the deadline >.<
or is it still undecided

[*mona lisa*]

None, as of yet. Though this is going to a lengthy "contest", so I think it should be around for a while longer.

[*annonymous.*]

Great idea. Maybe I'll apply for the rookie. I'm not all that good, anyways. Maybe I'll learn a thing or two. I'd really like to see the work of the rookies after the stars teach them new graphic tricks. :)

[mocassinsx29]

lol wow every reality show is making its way onto CB... fear factor here we come!

Please do not post unless you have something relevant to add to the topic at hand.

N.B. This is only a preliminary round and for rookie applicants since there are more rookies than stars who have applied. Please read it carefully and feel free to post here if there are any questions. Good luck and keep it simple!

[*Intercourse.*]

Good luck to all the Rookies!

[technicolour]
