Can I PLEASE ask that this topic not be spammed, and kept on track with the topic.

If you wish to discuss this topic, please create a specific topic related to this one for discussions on it.

For any additional info, send me a pm or catch me on msn - ettiene@live.co.uk

Get them creative juices going people!!!

Freelance Prize - Providing my company with GFX Designs to go onto websites from time to time for cash payment.

EDITS:

NONE OF THE DESIGNS REQUESTED FOR THIS COMPETITION WILL RELATE TO ANY SPECIFIC BUSINESS OR ENTITY AS SUCH, BUT MERELY THE TYPE OF DESIGN IT SHOULD BE.

BLIND POST - When a designer wishes to do all the designs in advance, 1 point per design will be awarded by each judge, as this designer will not have the benefit of seeing what the competition can do in each phase. In a case where a judge rewards the maximum amount of points, this will not apply, as the max amount will be awarded.

Only 1 entry per design request will be accepted

Thanks!

Ok just to set things straight, this is not a con, I am not trying to get anyone to make a logo for my company, or steal anybody's intellectual property.

The final prize might have something to do with my company, but when reading the post, you will see that the designs will basically be business orientated, and all up to you...

Anyways, by company already have all our stuff sorted out. Not gonna post link here, but you are more than welcome to request it via pm.

You wouldnt just give away 20tril naq, and offer something else from your company if you did not want something in return. I wont be participating if i do not find out, and will be encouraging others to follow suit.

Sweet, post edited to reveal the surprise...

Hope you guys find it more trustworthy?

I would trust this guy....

Thank you.

If i can make the time I will enter, bu its more than likely that I won't as I am very busy next few weeks, and the 'special' prize does not particularly appeal to me

Thanks

Well it could always be payment in in game res to the value of the cash payments aswell

I do hope you would find some time though

Thanks for the invite, it really does sound interesting and I am very willing to participate (especially as I'll be going to graphic design university in 2 years and that'd be - along with some other logos I made for different sites - a nice benefit for also getting hired later on), however in 1 weeks time I'll be gone on seaside for 2 weeks (possibly more - depending what the weather is like) and I'll have no internet access (at least probably) and no PhotoShop either (that's for sure).

So if I can somehow create the graphics for all the phases now then I am in it?
