[NCDE302]

okay areistotles, not much i can change now, ill just wait until the contests over and see the other entries.

[Ariestoteles]

Oke NCD... take your times... hope i'm lucky.. :)

[DaveyBoy]

I'll get mine in ASAP mate, do you need the logo on it? Do you have it in high res?

Cheers man.

[NCDE302]

hey daveyboy, yea i need the logo on it, and no i dont have it in high res sorry.

[DaveyBoy]

hmm might be a problem if you're printing it on A4 with that current logo size, unless I can re-create it in illustrator or something.

I'll have a bash anyway ;)

[Speno]

Width -2480px
Height -3508px
Is this right? Or is my photoshop cocking up?

[NCDE302]

hmm idk, all i know is its gonna be on 8.5 x 11 inch paper

[NCDE302]

contest will end in 4 hours.

[mac_crazy]

Nice job, Aries... curious as to where you found hi-res images of the game consoles? :confused:

[Ariestoteles]

Hi Mac...
Yeah, just go to the their official site, buddy.. it's free and great quality :)

[tomeek]

i think i may enter...would you extend the contest for 2 hours more?

[NCDE302]

sorry, unfortunately i cant. :(

[NCDE302]

try your best to get it in before 1pm EST

[Speno]

Aries can you confirm it is Width -2480px Height -3508px, thats an enormous scale to work on! Good job with your design, i'm not even gonna attempt it!

[Ariestoteles]

Hi Speno...
Why u used Pixel? it's A4 paper size dude...
u just go to the Page setup..and you can pick from there...

[digitalphoenix]

im in...entry within an hour

[Speno]

when i set it up it just comes out as a massive file, Untitled@16.7%, and that just about fits the height of the screen, so 100% is gonna be HUGEEEE!

[mac_crazy]

speno, you laying that out in Photoshop, sounds like?

Ouch, good luck with that!! A page layout program (InDesign, Quark, even Publisher) works much better, and file size is not an issue.

[Ariestoteles]

Hi Speno..., go to preferences.. and change the unit from pixel to inch..

Mac is right...!

[ansi]

speno, you laying that out in Photoshop, sounds like?

Ouch, good luck with that!! A page layout program (InDesign, Quark, even Publisher) works much better, and file size is not an issue.

i would agree. photoshop should not be used to lay out items for print. it's just a bad idea in general though it can be done but as you see, there are other applications better suited for such a task. i would have competed in this contest but the fact that i dont currently own indesign or another "layout" application, kept me from it. hate to see that horrible design win but no one else entered so hey, more power to him. nothing saying that you can't create the visual elements in photoshop, just dont layout the design in photoshop. ask anyone who works in the printing industry and they'll tell you the same.

[NCDE302]

contest over in 2 hours

[DaveyBoy]

Still hopeful of getting mine in, but we'll see lol.

Good luck to everyone, anyway!

[NCDE302]

[DaveyBoy]

Well done, Aries :)

Just a hint to the CH...the black text on the winning entry might not be very clear when printed, i've had this experience a couple of times and maybe a couple of changes would help it stand out more. Just don't want you to be disappointed with results mate ;)

Cheers.

[coolwanz]

congrats aries! :)

[digitalphoenix]

Congrats Aries,

Once again i wasted 3 hours creating the icon myself.

[tomeek]

Congrats Aries, well done :)

[benod]

Great job Aries. Well done

[coolwanz]

[NCDE302]

coolwanz, i like your banner, but could you slow it down a little, and change the any many many more, to "and much more"

also im not sure im liking the pictures on the right, could you change them to other pics, maybe like a tv, a controller, a cell phone...

[NCDE302]

or on the right could you put like real people, maybe like a few pics of teenagers sort of like what was on the winning flyer up top.

[coolwanz]

sure np, i will try to add some pics on the next tweaks. thanks for the feedback :)

[NCDE302]

anyone else?

[DaveyBoy]

Might have been better off making a new thread for it mate, some people might not be viewing it.

[demonhale]

If this goes on Id like to try...
