Title: Someone good with graphics
Post by: sheepdog on April 10, 2006, 01:05:45 AM: M42Club could use some help in this department.

If you are decent with graphics contact me or Febi. It is not a paying job, but it is also not a big commitment. You can use it as a reference for other jobs, and you would be doing this site a favor.

We just need some graphics for the forum, and maybe a bit of work for the front page in the near future. For now we could just use some nicer graphics for the forum buttons and help tweak the color scheme (graphics artists are usually quite good at this).

The last guy I used has disapeared, but he usually knocked out everything rather easily due to how little and how easy it was.

Thanks
Sheepdog

Post by: Febi Guibo on April 10, 2006, 09:34:29 PM: Yeah, let me say that I frequently need graphics help for my (alleged) web design business, so if anyone (or someone who knows anyone)... the m42 club might make a great try-out project.

Charlie, if you wanna go ahead and take a crack at it... do you have adobe photoshop?

Post by: asubimmer on April 12, 2006, 12:05:24 AM: a little more done, I am going to mess w/ them a little more though, clean them up a bit. Feedback is more than welcome. Do you like, hate, or anything the new icons?

I like the idea, but it is not easy to distinguish betwen the 2.

Post by: stevohill on April 14, 2006, 01:09:54 AM: If they were cleaned up a little bit more maybe? I dunno, good job though on the creativity.

yeah thanks guys, I need to clean the wheels up a bit still. Its hard because most of them are in a high resolution. I really appreciate your honest oppinions though, that way I know what the community wants ;) .

I was thinkin about making the PM icon's the kidney grills. black kidneys for opened PM's and chrome for new ones. But I am at home right now for Easter so I won't be able to mess w/ them till I get back to my computer at school on monday.

Instead of wheels how about the front of a car for new, rear for old.

Post by: asubimmer on April 14, 2006, 07:37:49 PM: yeah I like that idea. I'll make some when I get back to school. Thanks for the input guys.
Title: Someone good with graphics
Post by: Eurospec on April 14, 2006, 09:01:22 PM: I second that idea.

Who wants to volunteer their ride? I think a d-s would be ideal... (hint: flex disc)

Post by: asubimmer on April 15, 2006, 12:07:29 AM: yeah lets decide who's car we want and make sure its cool w/ the owner

that sounds fine to me, noone else seems to be interested in there car on it. I'll need a pic of the front and back, straight on. The icon will be < 35 pixels so The lower the resolution the better, and doesn't have to be a close-up.

edit: I would use my front but it doesn't really look like most m42's ;)
