Hold it, stop, wait a minute we actually have a competition AND a nice price. Since we love the community so much we thought it would be a great time to do something fun and that is why we decided to do this little competition. We are sure that there are several talented graphic artists out there that would like to show some nice designs. After pounding our heads for the best thing to do we actually decided to have three categories for this competition. When judging the final work we will actually mix all your work and ONE winner will be appointed from all the different posts.
The price
The winner in this competition will receive a new Streamzap remote that will play nicely with Media Portal. More about this nice remote can be found here: http://www.streamzap.com/
The menu (AKA the topbar) challenge
Create a nice menu for the MCE skin. You should make a visual on how you envision such a menu. You might ask yourself why the MCE skin? Well it’s not because I am writing this post (hmm) but rather that it’s the only skin where we have not created such a menu.
The background challenge
Create a really nice background for Media Portal. The background must work as both a desktop background and as a background for any of the skins bundled with MP. When posting your creation it should be the Media Portal version and it should measure 720x576.
The mock-up challenge
The third and last category that you can jump in to is by doing a mock-up. This should be a suggestion/sketch for a new skin and look. You will only have to post a drawing from your exercises with Photoshop (or whatever you choice of weapon is). Be creative, make it look nice and remember, if you enter this category the risk is high that there will be pressure on you to actually do the skin
The deadline
Last day to post your entries is the November the 15th (and that is a Sunday yes, after that it time for the judges, that’s all of you guys and gals)
How do you post it?
Well if you have somewhere to post it, please upload it there but you can also send your designs to johan.levin_at_gmail.com and I will see to it that they get posted. HINT: I do prefer the first choice.
The Judges
For this to be more then a one man show we will let you be the judges and after the deadline you all will be able to vote on the creations done. A new thread will be created dedicated for your votes and cheers.
No go be creative and show us that you like initiatives like this.
And by the way, let us know if you are in and help us create some comotion... reply
Good luck friends,
Samsonite, MrMario and Frodo
