OcUK Christmas Graphics Challenge

[Spie]

There's a great deal of graphical talent amongst the OcUK forum members who have contributed the World Famous OcUK Pud and Christmas smilies

We now need 2 new Christmas graphics for our main site. If you fancy a crack at it here are the specs.

1 - Index Page Graphic - max dimensions 140px x 140px, jpg or gif. Should including wording "CHRISTMAS GIFTS".

2 - Christmas Specials page Graphic - 500px x 130px, jpg or gif. Should include wording "CHRISTMAS SPECIALS & GIFTS".

Both graphics should have a similar style. Background will be white. Please post your entries here.

Deadline for submissions is 8.30am Friday 23rd November.

Winner gets £50 (inc VAT) of free hardware

 

[Spie]

whens the deadline?

About 4pm, if we get some good entries.

 

[Spie]

so the bigger one is the one at the minute advertising the GFX and the wii, which is the smaller one?

No. These are new graphics for new locations.

 

[Spie]

ah right ok

and what colour scheme and everything does this new location have? if its blue its going to look daft with a big orange logo lol

It's a new location within our existing site, and there is a common colour scheme throughout.

 

[Spie]

Woops just noticed the deadline. Any chance of extending it a few hours ?

I think so. The deadline is now 8.30am Friday 23rd November.

 

[Spie]

I'm pretty sure he meant the background (i.e the site) it will be going on will be white.

That's right.

 

[Spie]

Some great graphics here

Don't forget the white background bit.

 

[Spie]

First one done. Working on the other.

Ahem. White background. Look at the corners.

 

[Spie]

Few more variants;

Samione, can you make the background (corners) white please?

 

[Spie]

Some absolutely superb entries and a big thank you to all those who took part.

It was a close call but all things considered these are the winners :-

Well done Samione

We'll contact you at your registered forums email address with details of how to claim your £50 prize

 

[Spie]

Samione - a favour please. We've uploaded your graphics but because our site uses much brighter reds they look a little dull in comparison.

www.overclockers.co.uk - look at the This Week Only graphic and red band containing search.

Could you brighten the red a bit please?

 

[Spie]

Cheers

 

[Spie]

Samione, looking better. How about adding some sparkle to make it stand out more?

 

[Spie]

I've replaced the small graphic on the front page with something a bit more ... cheeky?

Your big graphic stays on the specials page Samione. Just need a few sparklies

 

[Spie]

Real professional

Thanks.

 

[Spie]

LOL quality.

Here's the sparkles

A bit more definition in the wording? A bit more sparkle too

 

[Spie]

One thing Spie- it says my store credit is £42.56. Pretty sure you said £50 Inc vat in the OP

It is £50 inc VAT. The £42.56 is ex VAT

 

[Spie]

Dunno yet, my 5.1 setup is busted so maybe a new one is in order

Also spie- I've made the sparkles in the one I showed you more prominent, but i'm reluctant to add a face full of them otherwise it'll just end up looking like something from an asda advert. Also, in what sense are we talking about definition here? I need more info.

That looks great

EDIT: just remove the sparklies from the bow please

 

[Spie]

Having to work hard for his money isn't he

It's not work, it's fun

 

[Spie]

I feel like a digital prostitute
Here you go mate, enjoy!;

Excellent. Thanks again
