IvanD Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Okay, I'm really sorry if this had been suggested before. But I've been on quite a lot of different forums myself (design, hobbies, homework, hosting, webmasters etc.) And I found most of them has a Sig of the Month competition. I say, maybe we can have something similar? Because I can see some pretty talented Photoshop (or others) designers here. Judging by their sig. If it's okay and you like the suggestion, PM me and I'll tell you about the "system". If you want. Thanks Ivan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paranoidandroid Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Mine am teh bestest sig yahhhhhh on a more serious note, doestn't judging sigs involve quite a large value judgement? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IvanD Posted January 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Well, there can always be a thread for "competitors" to submit their sigs. It's more like a competition really, there would then be a couple of judges who are quite familiar with graphics design. Then the judges judge. Then winner's maybe awarded a tiny banner that says "Sig of the Week Winner - NAME HERE" So they can put under their sig or something.... Just like a fun competition.

Shard Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 (edited) Sounds like harmless fun, as long as people can actually manage to make the signatures to the permitted forum dimensions (give or a take a few pixels). Agreed there are definitely some skilled designers / digi artists about. The amount of monster signatures still popping up here and there is suprising considering the amount of times and places in which the 400 x 100 size has been mentioned. That and make them a reasonable file size too, not like some recent 1mb or there abouts gif animations Edited January 16, 2006 by Shard Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DirtyMoFo Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 awww... i would enter mine, but it wasnt me who made it... it was a mate of mine... still... i think its awesome... he is a graphics designer though so it would be pretty cool... DM Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sarack Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 this sounds fun and good Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IvanD Posted January 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Glad you guys agree I personally love the idea, although I don't think I'll be submitting much. Wouldn't mind judging though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HappyHunter Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 I'd be up for it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IvanD Posted January 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Is it just me.... or is this thread.... "dying"...? lol No mods answers the... suggestions? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arnie Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Sounds like a good idea to me. Didn't reply before because I'm not around much at the moment near a PC. How do these other you mention forums run it, do they just run a Poll with the images attached, or is there a specific forum hack that they use to do it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IvanD Posted January 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Nope, no hacks. Just a normal poll with Image next to the person's name on the options. They simply have a thread, annoucing the theme, size, color and other relavant information on it, then they give people a deadline. People will also submit the sig that they made in this thread. After the deadline, a new poll will be made, putting in all the sigs in the poll and the poll will be left there for, say a week. Then they stop the voting, whoever has the most votes wins. (Sorry if I didn't make sense in some of the parts, For some reason, I'm not making any sense, so if you didn't understand a part of it. Tell me, I'll explain once more...)

BigD_SealTeamXXL Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Ah so its a sig based around a critera not just anyones sig on arnies. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IvanD Posted January 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Yep, for one thing. You have to make it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SilentScope Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Grey Cobra is a design related forum that I am a part of and they have a signature of the week competition that is very well run: http://www.greycobra.com/forums/index.php?showforum=33 Just in case you were looking for an example.

Arnie Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Silentscope - I can set that up, however I need to know the mod that they have used to allow images to be posted in polls. I've had a brief look online and I can't see the mod that they've used. Please either ask them, or supply me with an email address for their admins and I'll ask.

SilentScope Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 I've contacted the admin as well as a few of the moderators. In case you want to email the admin for yourself, here is his address: David_Leggett2000@yahoo.com I'll let you know if I have any luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SilentScope Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 (edited) This is what told to do: To include images in polls - for the poll answer just use the following tag: [img=http://www.domain.com/path_to_image.jpg] where the web address listed is the address to the image in question I could have guessed that! I'll give it a try in the test forum.
