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 ...

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.

^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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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. thumbsup.gif

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

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. :)

FIRST ROUND IS UP! happy.gif

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!
