View Full Version : Desktop Contest
Xiris 06-25-2005, 08:51 PM Welcome, this contest is to see who can create the best VMK wallpaper for peoples desktop. This is a little advertisement for nick (keep reading). It must be big for desktops and has to have vmkforums.com mentioned somewhere on it to help nick out with advertising. I will feature the winning design on wallpaper sights and I will sent it into disney and possibly have it approved as a official disney wallapaper. To enter the contest make a design and post it in this forum. Thanks a lot!
Just a question. How exactly does this raise money for Nick? Also, did he approve of this?
Xiris 06-25-2005, 09:23 PM Just a question. How exactly does this raise money for Nick? Also, did he approve of this?
1) No unaproved
2) Sorry does not raise money for nick (sorry mistake)
3) Mentioning vmkforums.com will help populate his website :)
Just something I wanted to do for fun. Winner get there wallpaper all over wallpaper websites and possibly on disneys site. :)
Have Fun,
Xipri

How would this help with advertising? When a desktop wallpaper is something you see?
Possibly on Disney Site? nope to many lawyers involved.
Keep New's to Official VMK news please.
MissAmber 06-25-2005, 10:26 PM Here's my entry. It's a little plain but chances are SOMEONE would use it! I might make more...

good idea, and i approve.
But we would need the wallpapers to be at least 1600x1200
As that is the resolution I run.
Becky 06-26-2005, 01:44 AM eh.... Nick, not to be rude, but lots of ppl run their screen resolution at 1024x768 or at 800x600... 1600x1200 isn't used by most ppl.. could u allow it to be 1600x1200, AND those two others?

dizneydesi 06-26-2005, 06:25 AM Yay more creative, talented outlets for great artists!

MrGenie 06-26-2005, 05:35 PM My wallpaper (http://*************/garfieldslasagne/vmkforums.com.bmp) note:may take a long time to load :( :( :(your not wrong, it took ages and im on 1.5mbitLOL; I'm also on 1.5mbit, but my browser timed out before it would load. I just tried to download it directly instead and I see that your image is only 3.2 MB, so it must be a problem with ************* (still wouldn't download for me).
Any chance you can save this as a JPG instad, danielchand? That should be a lot smaller than a BMP. :) Or, you might also try hosting it at a place like www.imageshack.us since their servers are really fast and you can upload images up to 10 MB.
Good luck!
TheWolf 06-26-2005, 08:26 PM Well here are two from me (that feels weird being able to type a number :))

I tend to prefer less busy desktops as it keeps the focus on your icons and not the image.
Comments gratefully accepted.
Kycha 06-26-2005, 08:45 PM They are both great. But I really love the pirate one.

Mr.Lunatix 06-27-2005, 03:40 AM I thought this was going to be a meaningless Thread, with very little contestants, but wow This art work and visual Detail in each section proved me wrong. Great job on all of them, I am not sure what a Winner would do, but to have a section of VMK where all of these are acessed and can choose from is a excellent idea. Once again great job on all of the artwork. I am very impressed.
DoublethePop 06-27-2005, 03:42 AM I have no idea why, but I'm the only one actually creating my art from scratch...
Wynsome 06-27-2005, 05:20 AM Mine is very girly. I can't help it, I was obsessed with Rainbow Brite and it carried over.

Chris 06-27-2005, 05:25 AM nice work...........
Agreed. It's brilliant. Very nice blend.
Might have to try my hand at this competition :)
DoublethePop 06-27-2005, 05:26 AM This is starting to get tough. How did you like mine, Nick?! I want an honost(sp?) opinion, I like to fix my mistakes.
OH LOL!!! I accidently saved it as a .bmp file!! LOL!

Foustketeer 06-27-2005, 05:31 AM Wynsome, nice job! It's really good and congrats on your first post!
dizneydesi 06-27-2005, 05:37 AM very cool Wynsome!
WElcome to the best VMK forum around!
i haven't been able to connect with you and your game room in quite a while!
hope to see you in VMK!
DoublethePop 06-27-2005, 05:38 AM Oh finally you stop scanning the forums, Wynsome! :D
Wynsome 06-27-2005, 06:00 AM Y'all like me, you really like me! I'm glad at least some people like it. I fear negative commentary.
i haven't been able to connect with you and your game room in quite a while!It's hard getting it started up now that you can't get on the popular list without four people usually. Plus, people are getting very picky with prizes.
Oh finally you stop scanning the forums, Wynsome! :DI'm sure everyone was waiting with bated breath for this moment.
shiregirl 06-27-2005, 06:09 AM I'm sure everyone was waiting with bated breath for this moment.
I was! :D Welcome. LOVE your desktop.
I really like the desktops everyone has come up with so far. DoublethePop, how are you making yours? I really like your style.
dizneydesi 06-27-2005, 06:13 AM Plus, people are getting very picky with prizes.
I'm sure everyone was waiting with bated breath for this moment.
i just loved the game! it was very fun! just like everyone to get uppity about FREE prizes. just beyond comprehension.
i have been waiting for you to get here! was beginning to think you lost your way. lol
Wynsome 06-27-2005, 06:41 AM i have been waiting for you to get here! was beginning to think you lost your way. lolI've been prowling around since I met MrLunatix weeks ago. I just had to wait for the right time to pounce.
Becky 06-27-2005, 06:43 AM I have no idea why, but I'm the only one actually creating my art from scratch...

Jediviper 06-29-2005, 03:30 AM I am not sure if i saw, but do you have a Wallpaper of your Signature? I really want that on my wallpaper lol.
I am sure I could make one.
Any request for a specific color, or anything else?

This is a pretty simple one that was easy to make. I like the watercolor effect in it.
TheWolf 07-01-2005, 01:03 PM Looks nice, nice effect.
danielchand 07-01-2005, 01:57 PM LOL; I'm also on 1.5mbit, but my browser timed out before it would load. I just tried to download it directly instead and I see that your image is only 3.2 MB, so it must be a problem with ************* (still wouldn't download for me).

Never knew that! Thanks Mr. Genie

Wynsome 07-01-2005, 07:55 PM My Wallpaper (now a jpg) (http://*************/garfieldslasagne/vmkforums.jpg) I like the collage, but (don't read if you can't take constuctive criticism!) the bright blue background with red text, really hurts my eyes. I can't look at it for more than a second without going crosseyed.
Jediviper 07-05-2005, 07:01 PM Ok, I am bored and rediscovering Paintshop so here is another one I put together. Enjoy! :goofy:
