Skin Competition

CRego3D · 5th June 2002, 16:15

Hi everybody

Let me start by apologising if this post in any way violates any rules of the forum, it is not my intention to do so

I allways been a big WINAMP fan, so we are doign a friendly contest in our small design community to see who can come up with the best skin for winamp, there are some prizes, but the main point was for everybody to have some fun.

So I woudl be very honored if any of those great Skin Artists here would consider joining us on this one

the info is posted here:

http://www.yaxay.com/yack/showthread...&threadid=3351

Thank you all, and keep up the good work

Carlos

[edit]
We moved the forums to a new server, so the domain might not be resolving for everybody yet, you can go to http://64.46.101.13/yack/showthread....&threadid=3351 instead if that is the case

I have to say that's one funky website design. /me wants Winamp forums to look like that

Anyway, I'm busy right now, but I'm sure you'll find a few willing volunteers among us. All I can say is, bring them back in one piece please.

CRego3D · 5th June 2002, 16:31

LOL

Thank you .. and yes, we will return them as found .. hehe

Can i submit somthing i'm already working on? If not you'll have to give me about 4 - 5 months to make a whole new skin. It takes alot of time using MSPaint.

btw, the link wont work properly i got this

Quote:

The move is complete.

The new server can be reached at:

http://64.46.101.13/yack/index.php

Give it a few days till www.yaxay.com will work again.

then i go there and i can't find any winamp comps

You need to adjust your new user email thingy coz it gave me a wacko activation URL. Luckily, I used my superior intellect to hack one together all of my own

CRego3D · 5th June 2002, 17:30

hoo, will you please forward it to me ? carlos@3dwizards.com .. I will see what is wrong

Neko · 5th June 2002, 18:57

i cant take part as skinning for anyone but my employers or myself is a breach of contract

, but thats a nice forum style youve got going

_Blackdog_ · 5th June 2002, 19:08

are you looking for just a cool skin, or are you looking for a skin for/based off your site? if you're just looking for a good skin, check out my latest work in progress.

gsx · 5th June 2002, 22:47

Thats a real nice webdesign. Forum design is cool too.. souns like a cool contest, il try it if i get some time.... but im doing a lot of programming with a few skins on the side right now. I hope atmo tries for this! although hes prob a bit busy these days... lol

[offtopic] This is Nova3d... i dont like that other one, and if anyone wonders why gsx, its after the Mitsu Eclipse GSX

Just when i was looking for motivation to get started skinning again....

Im in...I guess that means i gotta register there then.

gsx · 6th June 2002, 02:52

im so tired of infest, il try it too... good luck to all that try it..

[edit] sucks you cant use a hotmail or yahoo mail to register... i got nothing else i can use...

[/edit]

CRego3D · 6th June 2002, 03:27

gsx

send me your info as a PM, I will make an exception here, I will create your acount and send you the welcome email

gsx · 6th June 2002, 03:42

thanks

CRego3D · 6th June 2002, 05:05

gsx

all set

.. check your PM's

_Blackdog_ · 6th June 2002, 05:25

hey crego. i registered for you forum, but i still can't post. it says i'm logged in though...

gsx · 6th June 2002, 05:43

same..

_Blackdog_ · 6th June 2002, 05:46

hey nova/gsx. i figured out whats wrong. the site changed servers. when you click on the activation link, it takes you to the old server, which displays a link to the new server and never activates your account. what you need to do is take the end of the url in the link and go to that page on the new server. worked for me

dam · 6th June 2002, 07:00

Why is it that every kool thing happens in my absence.Bah!
If atmo's trying so am I.

Nova(gsx?) you couldve pmed one of the mods and got your name changed.
I like the nova name better.

simon snowflake · 6th June 2002, 08:01

Do You have some big HighResoluton graphics of your logo's somewhere?

No point in bothering them =) they have better things to do. All i really lose is my post count, and that really doesnt mean that much.

simon snowflake · 6th June 2002, 13:55

I liked Nova way better

Jellby · 6th June 2002, 14:49

I liked Nova better too, gsx is a lamers name

Nini · 6th June 2002, 14:53

cool site design (yay)

You'd have a great skin even if you would only rip it

I'd love to take part

But my exams are in 5 weeks!

When is the deadline?

what about a remake of the site and a skin to go with?

StillWater · 6th June 2002, 15:54

I would join the comp, but the World Cup is on all June, so I don't know if I'll have time.

simon snowflake · 6th June 2002, 16:31

I believe the skin hqs to be submitted by the 4th of july.

That is correct .. Now, you guys are the experts at skinning, is that date unreasonable ?, should we give people more time ?

StillWater · 6th June 2002, 16:51

Well, it's not enough time for me, since I won't be able to start it until at least late June. But please don't change it on account of me, because even the deadline were moved, I could still not guarantee that I'd participate. However, it would be cool to try doing a site-based skin. I wonder how many of the skins will end up looking very similar.

simon snowflake · 6th June 2002, 17:36

nah, its not to short,

this is what I mad just today;

CRego3D · 6th June 2002, 18:03

damm, I like it

Reanimation · 6th June 2002, 18:39

Hurry up simon! I got most the EQ done already ( damn those tool that cut the main up are so helpful! )

Btw, mines staying on my hd only untill it's time to show the goods.

CRego3D · 6th June 2002, 19:28

Also FYI

I realised the Prize was not appealing to those who dont' have much use for it, so If you check the contest now, you will see there is a $money$ option instead

(since everybody has use for $$)

Cleanup · 6th June 2002, 22:23

Well, this is what I have so far...

Pardon the weird-ish-coloured parts. Those are either transparency or templates.

gsx · 7th June 2002, 00:03

money eh...

100 souns nice, and no the time is just fine...i should be done in 2 weeks max... but where do i send my entry??

PS: your site is down... and mind if i ask what font you used in the title? ( yaXay )

Atmo · 7th June 2002, 04:37

It looks like arial but its squashed..I was able to replicate it doing that anyways..

I'd show a ss of mine but its pretty crappy...

_Blackdog_ · 7th June 2002, 04:44

mine's pretty crappy too, but i'll show it anyway
