Welcome to Big Boards. Big Boards at one time offered the Zathyus network our long famous Resource Archives, our extensive search indexes, and our info-packed resource forums. Eventually, these were made redundant by upgrades to the documentations and expanded search features added to the ZetaBoards software, and this forum then lost relevancy and subsequently became inactive.

Our team then embarked on a new project called Planet Nexus, where a bold new experiment in forum promotion is taking place. We call it nexworking. NexusTree offers social networking pages for forums in a fully automated format. Your NexusTree page is created instantly when your join the nexus. Find out more by visiting Planet Nexus, and become part of the nexworking revolution.

Welcome to BB's Graphics Challenge.

The graphics challenge runs for one week and requires your submissions to comply with a stated theme. The themes are specific, and at the close of the challenge, a run-off poll will be posted in which BB members will pick the winning design.

The winner will have an emblem displayed as an image prefix on their user name and can claim the title of BB's graphics king until the winner for the next graphics challenge is chosen.

The current challenge is to design a basic set of forum and stat markers for Atlantica skin by Milex . Atlantica has a 5-star rating in our skin index. It is a recent skin that is being used on working boards. The winner of this challenge will have their markers posted in the skin topic.
Click thumbnail for a complete preview: Posted Image

The challenge will close at 11:59pm Wednesday, August 13 forum time (CST or -6 GMT)

If you have a previously created graphic that fulfills the challenge requirement, you may enter it. You may also post as many entries as you like and edit them freely during the course of the challenge. Please post all of your images on one line. (so I can easily screenshot and use for for voting round.) and list the graphic editor used. You may make as full a marker set as you like, however your entry must include at least these 6 markers, plus one blank:
Forum Markers:
New
No New
Redirect

Stat Markers:
Users
BIrthday or Calendar
Board Stats


So, open up those graphic editors, and lets see who will take the crown!

Done this in MS Paint, by the way.

I'm pretty sure 'stealing' a part of the MT isn't part of the challenge.

Rofl, I've talked with Helena about this before. If it's based on a skin you are aloud to use parts of it.

No you're not allowed to use part of it,not without the permission of the skincreator.

In fact you're just an ordinary Graphic thief simple as that.....

Personally, I don't see a problem with manipulating a piece of a skin graphic to make a marker/button for that skin. I suppose that could be a subjective call though depending on the views of the the artist. I'll send Milex a PM and see what he has to say about it.

Manipulating equals stealing/ripping atleast in my book.

Oh and Justin being perfect has nothing to do with it...and you edited your post wrong.

It should have said: Edited by a thief.


But whatever ....

We're open.......

Aren't you being a little harsh there, Xtinct? Try to give people a bit of space to be teachable. We'll work this out.

You seem to forget you're the one who needs to steal parts of a Maintitle to 'design'.
Dumb kid.

From scratch go ahead I can use a good laugh.

OK...that's enough guys. Please take any further bickering to PMs. There has been a permission request made to the skin creator. Untiil he answers, there is nothing more that can be said about this here to advance the topic.

This is posted here for the benefit of anyone reading this archived topic. In response to the accusation above, the creator of the skin was contacted. Here is what I wrote to him when the accusation was made against Justin:

HelenaZF
 
We are running a graphics contest right now where the challenge is to design markers for your skin. A question has come up about whether it is acceptable to take a small slice of a graphic from the skin and fashion a marker from it.

As the creator of that skin, how would you feel about that? Would you consider it using copyrighted material? Would it be something that would offend you in any way or would you encourage it?

We plan to post the winning set in your skin topic for anyone who uses your skin as well.



Here is his response, which I just received today:

I
Milex
 
I'm sorry for the huge delay on the response to your question. Like I would have responded before; I have no problem with it being used in any shape or form.

Anyways, not sure if you're still interested, but feel free to use the skin in any way that you'd like.

Once again, sorry for the delay.
