Official Nubblies Contest #4: Remodeling Paradise - Nubblies.net Forums

Orgazmo · 12-01-2003, 11:17 PM

The Official Nubblies Contest #4 comes to us in the form of a template design contest. How do you design a template? You go to the template designer, which is located here. I suggest reading all of the instructions before you jump in, even if you're pretty sure you know what you're doing.

The contest starts as soon as you read this, and it will run until next year.

There is no limit on the number of submissions per user, but quantity will not win over quality: we'll probably only judge each user's best piece.

In the event that there UB and I don't agree on the winner, the trophy will be awarded for the template submitted the earliest of those in contention.

The templates will be added as they're submitted, so keep checking your profile for new additions.

What's that? You don't think you have a chance at winning?
Turn that frown upside-down. If you go into the template designer and read the first few paragraphs, you'll see that you don't necessarily have to be able to manipulate graphics to win the contest. That's right, I'm going to provide minimal graphical assistance in an attempt to somewhat equalize the playing field. Of course, without providing your own graphics, you'll have to settle for the same basic design...but that doesn't mean that you can't completely revamp the site with your own color combinations. At first thought, this is really only a contest between a few artistic members; however, after tampering with the colors a bit, I'm sure you'll agree that completely new graphics aren't 100% necessary to create a winning submission.

Tamper, young Nubblite, tamper and win. Off with you.

You wanna know what's funny? I just had an epileptic seizure.

Pliedes · 12-01-2003, 11:43 PM

I'm a fan of this contest, though I don't think my streak will continue.

fancymeghan · 12-02-2003, 12:46 AM

so many options. i like this one. will i try it?...we'll see.

victim · 12-02-2003, 01:45 AM

This contest makes me very, very happy...

<insert obligatory evil laugh>

Mua ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...

Orgazmo · 12-03-2003, 11:13 PM

Alright, I added the ability to change the Golden N and Trophy, as well as the affiliations (except homo...mostly because I forgot about it, partially because it doesn't need modified since there's no background to it). Fuck with them as you will.

Ugly Bastard · 12-04-2003, 04:34 AM

It took for-fucking-ever to make a theme, but it was worth it in the end.

Try it, friends.

Negative. Call it an exhibition entry if you will. (In or not, Titan and victim's submissions are going to blow mine off of the internet).

Titan · 12-04-2003, 01:05 PM

Mine isn't going to blow anybody's out of the internet, or the proverbial pirate water for that matter. But it will be kinda neat (I hope).

Mua ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...

victim · 12-06-2003, 10:55 PM

Holy burning sexbear!

My first template is finished... it'll be available very soon.

Orgazmo · 12-07-2003, 09:46 PM

I'm liking all of the submissions so far. Very nice.

Now, I realize this is kinda cuntish to those of you who have made submissions already...but you are free to send me revisions if you please. Anyway, here are the original .psd files used to make the graphics. Again, I apologize for the timing of this release...but I didn't even think about it until now. Do with them what you will.

For those of you who look at them and get a bit curious, they're actually the graphics for a vBulletin board...but they kick the ass of the UBB graphics.

the Butcher · 12-08-2003, 02:03 AM

My template should be done in a few days. I feel special, because so far I am the only one who has tampered with more than just the title graphic. Oh yes, the "PM" button is even badass. You just wait fuckers.

Trout Sniffer · 12-08-2003, 06:59 PM

This Christmas theme uses up my entired processor. Orgazmo, is there any way that you can keep the same theme but without the snow?

Pliedes · 12-08-2003, 07:05 PM

There is a simple solution: get a better computer.

Even if you make one without the snow, make sure there is a copy with it...

Trout Sniffer · 12-08-2003, 07:58 PM

My computer is fine, but the snow takes up the whole processor on almost any computer it is run on. Also, I didn't mean to get rid of the snow, I meant to make a copy, and have one with and one without. You know, for those of us who don't have the money to get a new computer.

Orgazmo · 12-08-2003, 09:27 PM

Done.

I want that hour of my life back...

Oh, well... that's fine, really... it still would have required a good deal of manipulation in photoshop... and besides, I'm pretty sure the rest of my themes won't be needing them anyway.

I've got another already in progress that's absolutely amazing. It's orgasm inducing. I might put up a preview sometime soon.

After than, I've got a couple incredibly badass ideas that I'd be damn stupid not to explore (and... if anybody out there has some great idea, but lacks the time or expertise to make it happen, PM me and we'll see about making it a reality

)

Trout Sniffer · 12-10-2003, 01:56 AM

I have submitted my theme so go take a look at it. It isn't a huge change because I still think Nubblies needs the black background and everything, but it does have some pretty pimp buttons and stuff, so go check it out.

Ugly Bastard · 12-10-2003, 09:01 PM

Uh...for those interested parties, Vitruvio submitted a template, and it kicks the ass out of every other template that has been made so far.

Just thought I'd inform.

-Ugly Bastard

Titan · 12-10-2003, 11:25 PM

So that's now my template.

Pliedes · 12-11-2003, 12:32 AM

Wow. Amazing. Simply amazing.

Orgazmo, good job with the "Unrefined" template.
