What do you think?
Have a cool idea for a future challenge? Post your ideas in the "Suggestion Box" on our forum! We’re interested to know what you think!
Actually, it’s so new that we don’t yet have anything for you guys to download :) So to change this, we’re presenting four new challenges and awarding great new prizes!
We’re looking to populate aarting with tons of amazing new characters, personalities and great graphic design. What you create is up to you. Just remember that great design, originality and style counts!
Who knows, maybe your designs will inspire us to create a new toy!
Here are the new challenges:
We like icons. A lot. We love having our folders decorated with really cool characters, so we thought who better than the awesome talent of aarting members to create an army of badassness?
These can be any type of character designs you want, from “Blankie” concepts to super dope character creations of your own. No real rules, but simple, clear images that “pop” usually work best. Let’s see what you can do!
Here are some links to free icon making programs to help you get started:
Make sure to put ‘em all in a folder and “.zip” them before you upload.
Since visitors to the forum won’t be able to see your “zipped” files, feel free to also post a 72 dpi, RGB .jpg image containing all your creations!
If we’re gonna have cool desktop icons, we’ll need some great desktop wallpapers to go with it!
These can be in any style you want. You can include “Blankie”, or completely unique creations/styles/ characters of your own. No real rules, but simple, clear images that “pop” usually work best. Surprise us!
Each final desktop wallpaper should have two sizes available 1280x1024 pixels and 1920x1200 pixels. All should be 72 dpi, .jpg’s. Make sure the color is RGB too. (Due to file size, submissions may only show up as a downloadable files and will not be directly viewable on the forum. If you want other people to see your wallpaper on the forum make sure to upload a second, smaller 72 dpi, RGB .jpg version under 200 kb.)
Now for the good stuff!
GRAND PRIZE:
If your stuff just completely rocks, and we choose to work with a lot of your designs, we’ll showcase you and highlight your work/website etc. in an exclusive interview on aarting.com!
RUNNERS UP:
If we choose to work with your designs, not only will you receive credit for what you create, we’ll hook up a direct link to your website or blog so people from all over the world can check out your skills!
AND OF COURSE:
If we like your designs so much that it just HAS to be made into a product- toys, t-shirts, posters, sticker sets etc., we’ll give you plenty of copies of whatever gets made!
Deadline:
It’ll end when we’ve found the coolest stuff!
So to get you started, we’ve put together a small deco pack for you to download and consider. The download includes some aarting logos and other site assets. You’re not required to use anything included in the pack - it’s totally up to you!
Now go kick some design butt!
Technology rocks, and the iphone has helped to change how we connect to each other. We think it’d be cool to have some backgrounds for it!
These can be in any style you want. You can include “Blankie”, or a completely unique creation/style of your own. No real rules, but simple, clear images that “pop” usually work best. Surprise us!
Each final iphone background should be 320 x 480 pixels, 72 dpi, .jpg. Make sure the color is RGB. (If the file size is over 200 kb, submissions may only show up as a downloadable files and will not be directly viewable on the forum. If you want other people to see your iphone background on the forum make sure to upload a second, smaller 72 dpi, RGB .jpg version under 200 kb.)
You can post all your iphone background ideas on the “iphone background” forum here for people to view and discuss.
Help us design the community you want!
We’d like every type of creative artist to have a chance to participate, so we’re in seeing some really great reusable graphics. After all, who better to promote your fantastic designs than you!
We’re looking for interesting graphics that can be used for the aarting website, announcing competition winners, ads, general banners (like “check out aarting.com”) and specific banners (Like a “Hey, vote for my design!” kind of thing). Heck maybe even designs for t-shirts, stickers and posters! We’re gonna leave this idea really open-ended and completely up to you.
These can be in any style you want. You can include “Blankie”, or a completely unique creation/style of your own. No real rules, but simple, clear images that “pop” usually work best. Surprise us!
Final posted designs should be 72 dpi .jpgs, but remember to design anything for “print” (i.e. shirts, posters, stickers, ads etc) at 300 dpi or higher. Make sure the color is set to RGB too. (If the file size is over 200 kb, submissions may only show up as a downloadable files and will not be directly viewable on the forum. If you want other people to see your designs on the forum make sure to upload a smaller 72 dpi, RGB .jpg version under 200 kb.)
You can post all your graphic pack ideas on the “graphic pack” forum here for people to view and discuss.
