<div class="IPBDescription">Compitition!</div> I want to see the skills of the NS art community in a practical real world situation, so here goes.

Ok, the goal in this compition is to design the ACME Paint Bucket Manufacturing Company's homepage. You need no html skills, the page can be a jpg image with the apperance of being a webpage, or if you have the skills, you can make a functioning page. If you do make a functioning page, all links must direct to this page. You can use any medium you want, including Flash, but remember, this sight is for ACME Paint Bucket Manufacturing Company, so it has to fit the theme.

You will need to create:
1 banner
Buttons for the following
<ul>
<li>Home
<li>History of ACME
<li>Sales
<li>Contacts
<li>Business Partners
</ul>
And somthing eyecatching that makes the visitor want to stay on the site.
Submitions due by October 4th

If you are interested in judging PM me before October 3rd. I am looking to have about 4 other judges that will rate the artwork from 1 to 10. 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest. Judges may not compete. Judges will judge on originality of artwork and the overall feel of the page, meaning everything has to fit and feel appropriate on the page.

I will update this post with the names of the judges and the compeditors as they come.

Judges:

    would it not make more sense to design a whole site rather than just a banner and some buttons?

    I was more interested in the art part of it than if people know about site design. Think of it as designing the images for sombody else that will make the site. Because if it was making a whols site, it might eliminate some artists that may not know how to design a site.

    ...probably aren't web designers.

    What i'd suggest is the designing of an entire site, but leaving it just as an image. No html skills required since the end product will only be a jpeg. The reason for this, i feel, is that buttons and a banner would look crap on their own, a website is about integrating everything into one package, and segregating the core componants isn't a great idea.

    Count me in, by the way, i'll throw something together in the next day or two.

    good idea. I updated the rules.

    I was only going to make it a picture anyway. I *might* do this but maybe not.

    I have a strange feeling this isnt a contest but rather you trying to get people to do your homework

    Heh, I was thinking that <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    It's not. MY school schedual is as follows.
    <ul>
    <li>World History
    <li>Off Period
    <li>Yearbook
    <li>Teacher Assistant
    <li>English 11
    <li>Physics
    <li>Spanish2
    </ul>

    I have no class that this would be usefull for.

    Can it be Flash? And have the buttons chasing each other? With neural nets for memory, so they know who is best to chase?

    fam has better things to do, such as STUDYING...

    Ohh well, dosnt matter. Im sure the blurry english blob will have a go nomatter what. There is a remote chance i may have a go, if i get chance to fit it in around coursework, my current wip site, work and every damm thing else. Might try to throw something together on friday, i have a day off.

    <a href='http://81.86.132.179/schoolhost/PHawxby/' target='_blank'>Current WIP Website</a> - (Link not always up, or may run slow. Runs from my home PC not a proper server, so kazaa might be on or pc off.)
    All coments welcome, but not in this thread. PM me with comments and no thread hi-jacking. All nicely programmed in PHP and Java, which i think learning PHP and java is pritty good for a 17 year old.

    <span style='color:red'>Edit:</span> It would be nice to learn to spell though <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    P.S. This is an A Level website.

    Only a few more hours. Well, this contest sucked. Maybey I should extend the deadline.
  • CaLFiNCaLFiN Join Date: 2002-11-04 Member: 6909Members
    As the last 4 posts of the thread were made by you and it's been bumped by you as much, I don't think many people are interested <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> Your competition does mean the contestants have to do a lot of work, for nothing.
  • CabooseCaboose title = name(self, handle) Join Date: 2003-02-15 Member: 13597Members, Constellation
    It's not for nothing. It's to proove that you are the best. Oh well, this ploped. Comitition done, nobody entered.
