Banner Contest

Post by **Infernis** » Mon May 08, 2006 7:28 pm

Copy and Pasted from LD:

Since none of us can agree on a banner it seems logical to hold a contest and let the audience decide which way to go. So here it is, our banner contest.

Some things to keep in mind when participating:

It has to fit with this theme [doh!]

The banner will be centered. Meaning there will be space left on the sides we can use to resize when the page is displayed in different resolutions.

It should have a grey background, what kind of grey is up to you.

It should say: LD.NL, Connecting Creativity. Doesn't have to be next to eachother.

The images you use should refer to what where about. Think of characters out of the games we cover. Or stuff referring to modeling, mapping, modding, etc.

That's it. I recommand all contestants to take a look at this thread. No prizes, but the winner his work will be our new logo/banner. Hope to see your entries!

youre talking about a header then ?

Post by **Infernis** » Mon May 08, 2006 9:35 pm

Yup, it's the header but it's also the banner. Not sure if that makes sense. Anyway, same thing as seen above here.

Other one's nice though. And I don't think any of the graphic people here will respond.

Post by **Infernis** » Fri May 12, 2006 12:12 pm

Probably not, but it's worth a shot though!

Post by **Infernis** » Fri May 12, 2006 12:15 pm

Yeah, the other one is awesome!

Perhaps it's not in the right forum?

The first time I joined I didn't for ages, and now I only ever go in General Discussion otherwise. In fact, I hardly post in LEM. Actually, I don't post much at all, so the point is lost

Lol, it's ok. It only hurts a little at first.

I usually visit the GD forum because I think you've got a lot of funny people around. I love how you all bullshit eachother and call eachother names. Also, some of stuff posted really brings out the best in some of the posters. Yeah, when I hang around here it's always with a smile on my face.

Btw, I continued this thread here.

well, ive never seen you, ever. what does that tell you :icon32:

Post by **CrinklyArse** » Sat May 13, 2006 11:07 am

I visit LEM on the odd occasion, but normally I just get confused and wonder off.

Post by **MKJ** » Sat May 13, 2006 11:09 am

i used to visit lem sporadically when i tried to get into q3 mapping.

my problem with 3d mapping has always been the same; i diddle too long on one room and i get bored with it. what i should do is map the barebones version of the map and THEN worry about textures, patches and detail

i hate that about myself

S'normal.

If you can get past it and apply a structured approach to the process, everything falls into place.

I went through hundreds of hours of doing that and I've only recently broken the habit and introduced a method to my madness.

Post by **MKJ** » Sat May 13, 2006 11:41 am

aye. never had that problem when i mapped for doom though (2d mapping).
mayhap because thats 'mapping' and nowadays its 'modelling' ?

Post by **Foo** » Sat May 13, 2006 12:00 pm

Doom didn't require as much work to produce a solid level, and there was only really 1 layer of work to do as you moved through constructing the space. With Q3, it's more like 3 layers of work per room (blocking it out, *test* , detail it up, *test*, sort out the clip and ents and vis, *test*.

Doing those stages in bits and pieces takes longer as you switch disciplines and spend more time compiling. I also tended to lose my overall vision of what I was going for when I just did it in any old order.
