dr. house Graphics Contest [Current Round: Forty-Seven]

mrshouse62689 posted on Jan 20, 2009 at 07:52PM
Welcome to the graphics contest forum! Here are the basics for each round:

1. I'm upping the number of spots to seven participants for non-icon rounds, and ten participants for icon rounds.

2. For each round, I will state the category the graphic must be in. It may be a wallpaper, icon, banner, or any other sort of graphic. If there is no specific pixel size listed for the graphic, you can make it any size you like.

3. Each round will have a theme of some sort. The themes will range from characters and ships to quotes and episodes, and everything inbetween.

4. This will be a weekly event. The image will be due by midnight (Eastern Standard Time) the Monday (as in the midnight between Monday and Tuesday) of the week the contest is held. Post the link of your uploaded image in this forum.

5. The day of the deadline, I will post a pick for the fans to decide whose graphic is best. If everyone gets done earlier than that, I'll go ahead and make the pick. There will be a time limit of three days to choose the winner. I'll announce the winner and runner-up in the forum.

6. The graphic must be an original creation made by you for this particular contest. If two people happen to enter very similar pieces, the second person will have to create something different and re-submit.

7. There is no limit on how many consecutive rounds a person can enter, and contestants are determined on a first come, first served basis. Generally, rounds fill up within about 24 hours of me posting the criteria. You are allowed to enter a round before the criteria is posted, and you may drop out of a round if needed.

8. Comments and suggestions about how to improve the contest or ideas for rounds are always welcome. Just post them in this forum. :-]

It'll have to be 800x100, you can make one in GIMP. I'm making an acception to the one-week-only rule for the POTW spot banner, since there are alot of specifics for it (certain patients have to be included) and it's for another spot. I'm about to post the criteria for it so people can go ahead and join that round, and have plenty of time to make a kickass banner.

numbers, there's a free software I use when I want to make simple combinations, cuts and other simple image treatments: link

I've made this banner with it by putting a few images side by side and then making better adjustments w/ gimp:

You can use whatever system you want to make the banner. The only requirements are 800x100 and that those 5 POTW are included. It also doesn't have to say anything, but something like 'Patients Of The Week Spot' would be fine. Or something else relevant.


OK, I give in. I will try and join the comic round. I may not have the time to get it done though, since it is a much bigger job than an icon. But I will do my best. And, once again, if other people want to join in, I am happy to give up my spot.

over a year ago mrshouse62689 said…

Are you mocking me mrsh? Pff I am highly offended :P. Ok fine I guess I'll have to drag my butt to a mouse computer (is on a laptop and that's like way hard to draw with finger).

Wow missy...haha interesting.

Haha I wasn't mocking...just...clarifying. Clarification: it's a beautiful thing.

Haha OK I was just offering since you apparently didn't have much participation before.
over a year ago blaukat said…

that's because only recently did I start messing around with photo editors. I still suck at it, but I can make one or two nice things.

*ignores HC's randomness* XD

I have a question - do you already know what the icon for the POTW spot will be like? because I'm working on the banner but I'm clueless on what color would be more appropriate so it matches the icon...

over a year ago HuddyCrazy1331 said…

over a year ago blaukat said…

over a year ago HuddyCrazy1331 said…

over a year ago blaukat said…
What's good? the way it is? Actually , the space is quite limited, so it's gonna be hard for me to squeeze in more patients ;)

About the POTW banner:

1) Just use those 5 patients please! They were voted for by spot members.

2) Don't worry about the spot icon. Just make your banners and we will find an icon that matches the winning banner!
