How to get your banner, signature, etc, quicker.

[TheDogsBed]

I can't speak for the other designers here but for me at least, it would help if, those who require banners, signatures, avatars, and such like to try and observe the formula below when making a request.

It isn't a rule by any stretch of the imagination but it will help you get your 'goods' a little quicker! :)

Request:

State clearly whether it is a banner, a signature, an avatar, or anything else that you are asking for.

Size:

In pixels: Width x Height. (Example: 320x180)

Preferred Colours:

Try to be specific. To you green may be just green. To a designer, there are more greens than you may care to imagine. Try to fine-tune it to "light-green", "dark-green", or similar.

Wording:

Be very specific about the wording you would like on your design. Personally speaking, if you spell something incorrectly then it is not for me to correct it. I'll just assume that you know what you are asking for and carry on regardless.

Use an Example:

If you've already seen something that you would like your design to be similar to, point it out. (A direct link helps.)

Keep in mind that you won't find many designers willing to just copy any copyrighted materials. But it will at least help us to get the right area.

State Things That You Really Don't Like

I don't want anything flashing, or I don't want bright colours, or I hate black, or any statement like that does help more than you can imagine.

If any of the regular designers wants to comment on the above, or add/delete anything, let me know. Then I'll do a final version and see if I can bully a mod into making it sticky. We can only benefit from it I think.

this should be a sticky ...

Definitely

Cool - I personally like people who are making sig's for me to use their own intiative, we have a max size limit for sig's, but I know that there are some requests that just lack the details needed.

Good post (Y)

Thanks SniperX, I was already tired of ppl coming to me telling me

dude "Oh yeah, can you do me a sig?"

me " sure, how do you want it?"

dude " I dont know, just do one hi-tech"

It is really hard for us designers decide what you like or dislike.

Good posting SniperX :)

How long do you all think before an admin stickies this ;)

Cool. We need to make sure people are really specific about what they want and what they want on them.

Cool. We need to make sure people are really specific about what they want and what they want on them. I don't mean to expoilt this person but as an example take a look at what BlueNads requested on the Graphics Request Thread, and see if you could make anything from it.

The spelling and grammar of it is also just terrible! So please.

JMann :whistle:

That's terrible! :no:

We don't need an example, most people have seen the thread. There is no need to pick people out like that :o

Thats why I said I did not mean to exploit this person in anyway, I didn't mean too. Moderators if you want to remove that section of the post that is okay.

[lammmetak]

hello ,

i am a webdesigner but crap @ making sigs. as i upgraded my computer my sig doesnt fit anymore.

i wonder if some one wants to make me a sig.

it would be very cool:D

this is what i want in it:

"lammmetak"

"AMD 64 3200+ @ 3400+ "(if possible the logo:) )

"ATI Radeon 9700 PRO" ( if possible the logo)

"2x 512 MB pc3200"

"180 GB 7200 HD"

it would be very cool if you can make it a bit panther/ apple style/ aqua style.

maybe i can do something in exchange like hosting some space on my server( its not a faster server, only 40 kb )

or help you with flash or something....

maybe for some insperation: http://lammmetak.tremeg.nl/nieuw/macosx2.html

thanks!
