I know we have a lot of people out there who are good at drawing, graphics and all of that techno stuff which I’m rather lacking in. So, I’m going to leave the floor open to a number of you. This thread will hold not one, not two, but three attempts for you to have your work contribute to the success and appearance of SWU RP. How, you ask? Well, I’ll tell you. The three different areas you can enter for are the following: Forum Banner: The current banner can often lead new members to think that this forum is set in the Clone Wars era, when this is quite far from the truth. You can choose whichever angle you wish for the banner, we just ask that it has the forum’s name and is 727x120 px. Affiliate Banner: As you can see, it’s not the most attractive or alluring banner ever constructed. But a boring banner can mean a lack of interest, which leaves us with a lack of potential members. Again, you can go for any angle you would like but make sure there is some sort of reference to the site and that it is 88x31 px. Customized Images: Noticed the new images from above across the forum? We shifted from those old Imperial and Rebel symbols to the Sith Empire and Republic ones. However, these new customized images make the normal ones more prominent and we haven’t got any others to go over them. The ones we currently need are as follows: Locked Threads: Stickied Threads: Locked Stickied Threads: Now, the only thing we ask about these is that they’re Star Wars based and that neither height nor width go over 35 px, preferably the maximum would be 30 px if the dimentions are very close but if not then we will allow this 5 px leeway. Now, that’s all three covered. You’re allowed to enter as many times as you want into any or all of the three different categories. The date of closure is yet to be decided. Any questions in relation to this competition can be asked here or, if you’d prefer, pmed to myself. ~Jenno

Alrighty, I'll give this a shot. Banner:(I have another banner in the works, but it's not quite as good and will take some more time to finish, I'll put it here when I'm done) Affiliate Banner:Custom Images:I'm still not sure if these are the ones you were talking about, or only those other little sticky/locked things..... Pair 1: Pair 2: Pair 3: Pair 4:

Twp versions that are pretty much the same, it all depends on if you want it to just look cool, or if it should have something distinctly star wars. I might have more/ edit it later.

Yeah, something replace locked, stickied, locked/stickied.
Plus, how about the folders? You know, the regular folder, hot folder, really hot folder? For the threads?
And maybe some of the other buttons?

Heres my attempt, I'm still in the process of making a banner and trying to figure out how I can make a Star Wars themed sticky icon. Locked

It would have to be a lot smaller, about the same size as the current default one, or else it will stretch the page way too much.

Ok just going by what it said by apparently being able to be 35x35 pixels which is what that is but I'll shrink it.

Perhaps something that would convey the timeframe and help harness the attention that SW fans will be showing to BioWare's "The Old Republic" RPG? After all, the banner is the first thing people look at, your first hook to get them to further investigate the site and potentially apply.

There's been some very nice work. But guys, keep posting things up! This is still open for two weeks and the more options, the better.

Well, what I think I'm going with is that at the end of the July I will put up each banner for a day so that people can see how they look, then I will be putting it to a vote, yes.

I recommend restricting the image size of the icons for the folders to 20px. The original images are only about 15px themselves.
If it helps, I have mild experience in Graphic Arts from schooling and other personal endeavors.
I plan to enter, I'm just being slow. Ha.
