Balto contests

*Animation Source* : making styles contest


This is the "official" contest, which will help me to choose who will be working on making new sites. This one focus on the graphical side (which I call "style")


The "Animation Source" project consists in making sites similar to the ones we already know : Balto Source and The Lion King Source, but applying the same formula to other films/series.

Because I don't have time to do everything myself, and I'm not a fan of every film/series that exists, I have made an interface to make the sites, and I will choose some members who will help making the sites.
Just like the choice of moderators, this choice will be strictly controlled, and the creation process will be too.

I have set up a very far deadline, but I will choose members progressively, when I think they are up to the job.



This contest is to "hire" members who will make the site styles.

This is the model on which all the sites will be based :

And this is what I have obtained when I created the one for Talespin Source (which took me around 10 hours to make - yes, making a good style DOES take time) :


(click to expand)
In order to apply to this contest, you must submit a picture of a style you have created, for a new Source site. You can send a style for any animated film / series you would like to see a site for.
 
It must be "based" on the model I have given above. (meaning that the elements should be at the same place and with the same dimensions) You must only provide a picture.
 
I will only select members who can make styles "on par" with the current sites styles! Quality over quantity!



Requirements :

- Using a "professional" picture editing software, such as Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro or The Gimp.

- Knowing how to use layers

- Respect the model given (there are some levels of "freedom", although I will explain more precisely later - for now, just try to globally stick to the model...)



Advices :

- Respect the sizes : width especially - you can expand heights if you want.

- Keep your "working files" (PSD files for Photoshop, for example) : if you get chosen, the style you submitted *may* be effectively used for the site that will be created. But it may have to be modified, so keep everything you used to make it!

- Only send something you don't think you can improve...



Selected members :
Wolf.250
 
 

UPDATE (01/11/09) : I have chosen Wolf.250's style to be the Spirit Source default style.


Deadline for this contest : December 31, 2012

A PSD format is a little bit too heavy I think, to send only an example.
The Beauty and Beast Source could be awesome! :)

Animal => On this contest, I ask for a picture only. A picture. Then when working on the site, you have to cut the elements into several parts. (which is why having layers is a must)

Steet - How would you want us to create our screenshot (per say) for our entry? Is there a Code format for us to use when inserting the images? (I'm very good with HTML code language and can do some PHP.) I'm just confused on how you want us to send in a screenshot of what the 'source' we create would look like. Thanks!

Steet --> (I'm Pantomime; I had a name change) I know what you mean about the faces going too far out thing. I'm willing to improve on my "style-making skills" and help if you want me to.

I have updated the contest. Wolf.250's Spirit style has been chosen.

MB => Your style is good, though I think there's room for improvement. Some parts are almost plain black, the background must be repeatable vertically, the title should have more margin vertically, and the banner has different colors from the rest of the graphics - it needs some "harmonization". Apart from that, you could definitely get "hired".

Pantomime => Almost the same : I like it pretty much, though : the banner colors are too different from the rest, the white text is difficult to read on that pink too bright, the characters faces in the menu are too much "going out" of the picture. (not sure if you understand) Same thing, with some improvements, I could definitely use your help.

Read before speaking...This is what I wrote above :

"I have set up a very far deadline, but I will choose members progressively, when I think they are up to the job."

Of course, new sites will appear BEFORE 2012, and most probably in the next few months.

Why not a "Dont-post-your-suggestions-here Source"? THAT would be nice.

No PSD, sorry, because the example I gave you was generated with the site and I didn't make one in the first place.

I know mine needs a little fixing.lol Photoshop was messed up at the time and I got annoyed. I fixed it now.

Circle of life: I've used gimp before. Like do you need help on how to make a layer or what?

Since MightyBalto has created a whole front page set of the graphics, would it be ok to make a different version of graphics for one of the 'sources'? For example, one of the suggestions on the suggestions topic. (Ex: The Fox and the Hound Source, Lady and the Tramp Source, Brother Bear Source, ect.)

Wait, so do we need to know codeing?

It's easy to suggest what to do...It's another thing to actually DO it.
This contest is to get members involved, not giving suggestions.

I'm not in the contest, but I have a idea for what to make. You can make a Disney's Bolt wedsite!:P Or mabey a Warrior site. (Warriors: By Erin Hunter);) This is just my idea.
