I know I changed the skin, and said I'm gonna go into a collaboration with my friend but now I don't think I'm gonna so I'm back. Don't be surprised though, these types of things might happen more often.

Banner-making contest results!

2009-10-03T02:55:00.000-07:00

There has been a change in the results!

The results are out! Sorry if my comments and judging doesn't make sense, I'm not that experienced yet. :) Honestly, all of your banners are terrific!

-Jacinta did not submit before the due date, so she has been kicked out of the contest.

Ernest
How much you edited from the original image-30/30 (Totally speechless.)
Effects used-9/10 (Totally love them. However, I think the textures or maybe brushes are kind of blurry.)
Fonts used-23.5/25 (I love the font you used. However, the word "hayley williams" is cutoff?)
Grand total: 62.5/65

Vivien
How much you edited from the original image-26/30 (I don't really think you changed much.)
Effects used-9/10 (I like the textures you used. However, I think you could have used more of the textures.)
Fonts used-23/25 (I love those fonts. However, the second sentence could have been a different colour.)
Grand total: 58/65

Nelle
How much you edited from the original image-27/30 (Hmm.. You've edited a lot, from what I can see. However, the quality isn't very good.)
Effects used-7/10 (I think the effect you used is too much.)
Fonts used-22/25 (Matches quite well with the image. :) But I don't really like the fade feeling of it.)
Grand total: 56/65

Maggie
How much you edited from the original image-27/30 (Satisfactory.)
Effects used-8/10 (I like how the effects make the whole banner seem so historical.)
Fonts used-20/25 (The font you used for "Watson" doesn't really match with the font you used for "Emma". :) However, I don't really like fade feeling of the words.)
Grand total: 55/65

Manita
How much you edited from the original image-27/30 (Satisfactory. However, I feel you could've edited more. And the quality isn't really good.)
Effects used-7/10 (The effects you used kind of makes the whole banner look messy.)
Fonts used-15/25 (Doesn't really match the whole banner.)
Grand total: 55/65

Jascelyn
How much you edited from the original image-26/30 (I can't see much changes from the original images.)
Effects used: 6/10 (Can't really see the effects you used.
Fonts used-22/25 (I like how it matches.)
Grand total: 54/65

Elaine
How much you edited from the original image-20/30 (I'm sorry but I can't really see much changes. More points are deducted because of nudity.)
Effects used-7/10 (Mhmm..)
Fonts used-16/25 (Doesn't really match the banner and I can't really see what are the words.)
Grand total: 43/65

Huiying
How much you edited from the original image-23.5/30 (I didn't see your base images in the mail you sent me. However, I think one image for the banner is a little too little. The quality isn't that good too.)
Effects used-6/10 (I think you could have used effects that would match the base image better.)
Fonts used-16/25 (I feel that the font you used is a little overboard, and doesn't match.)
Grand total: 45.5/65

Leen
How much you edited from the original image-28/30 (WOW.)
Effects used-7/10 (Can't really figure out the effects used here.)
Fonts used-23/25 (Matches the banner and I like how the word "We" is placed.)
Grand total: 58/65

Icon Request

News update!

2009-09-10T20:20:00.001-07:00

I was once in this resource site: here. But because of some reasons (not a quarrel), we decided to split up into different resource sites of our own. Even though that's the case, we have promised everyone to host a banner making competition and we will do it. I will be hosting it here. This competition will probably be hosted soon. I'll only be accepting 10 participants, so do be quick in joining. I think it'll be hosted perhaps next week. But do be patient, patience is a virtue!

Tagboard

2009-09-06T20:19:00.000-07:00

I finally got the tagboard up and and working. Please, haters make me famous and so do spammers. Also, I want to remind you that when you tag, your message will not show up on the tagboard. Only when the tagboard is refreshed then you will see it. To refresh it, you can click on the navigation "comments" again or just press "ctrl+r" to refresh the whole site.

New resource site

2009-09-06T07:48:00.000-07:00

This is a new resource site I've created quite a while ago if you look at my profile. I'll mostly be posting icons and probably some banners here. Maybe occasionally blends. I do not have perfect english so please be patient while reading my posts. But I guess my english is still readable. I know I make grammar mistakes, spelling mistakes and typo errors. But please remind me about it. Feel free to take the resources, but please, credit. I will host contests but when I host contests, I won't be posting much resources up.
