Team Pixelpost Template Contest (cancelled)

[blinking8s]

http://www.pixelpost.org is putting on a contest/battle between various design communities. Each community is to form a team that will create a new template for the Pixelpost photoblog.

-------

The winning template will be the default install for the next Pixelpost release and bundled with two runners up. All other templates will be put up for download on pixelpost.org

Full credit will be given to the forum and its team members and lets not forget that you are competing against other communities and some good clean bragging rights will be part of the fun as well.

--------

Requirements and Suggestions:

lets start with...you have to get a team together to represent your forum
make a fully functional template (design and coded)
it needs a Pixelpost logo, PP doesnt currently have one (told you this was a team effort)
user friendly, not necessarlity 800x600 safe, but yeah, you all should know the drill...you xhtml/css guru's might have a ball with this
fluid, people post different size photos, keep it in mind
must include image_template, browse_template, and comment_template (if needed) as a minimum)
must use the required template tags listed in the Pixelpost Contest download package (coming soon)


-------

To Enter:
send an email to blinking8s[at]gmail.com titled "Pixelpost Contest" and stating the forum you are from and the members of your team.

--------

A package with the rules of the contest and required tags will be available for download once everything is ready.

Right now I am just checking out the interest level between the different communities.

I'm in!
But is it really necessary to form up a team?

[blinking8s]

well, its forum vs forum...communities like:
http://www.billybussey.com/forum/
http://www.anticubicle.com
http://www.behindthecurtain.org
http://forum.24-7media.de
http://www.kirupa.com/forum/

have all been invited to form teams, so, if you want to start the "pixelpost team" then by all means!

judging is going to be 3rd party probably, professional designers and photographers...i think, so that makes it cool to have a pixelpost team ;)

consider it a real world client exercise and you have an office staff!

[keoshi]

Having a team does not necessarily mean the result is going to be better than a solo project...

Anyone for a team up with me?

[turnover]

me if you want :)
contact me by mail ;)

[keoshi]

I don't have your e-mail but I've added you to AIM ;)

[blinking8s]

you can send him an email via forum (under his posts), the return address is the email you are registered to pixelpost forums with...

[keoshi]

I know, but I found better to add him so that we can chat in real time :P

[turnover]

yes that's right but it's better to give an hour where you can chat.
yesterday i have waiting 3 hours :D :wink:

P.S. : Wow i progress in english no ? :lol:

haha...yes your English is getting much better, just keep up the practice

[turnover]

:lol: I think you're right but i don't have somebody to practice english. :cry:
Maybe with the forum and the chat :)

I think the interest from within the pixelpost community might be higher than from outside forums.

It might be a good idea to allow more than one Pixelpost Forum Team.

I am interested in this contest...I don't have great design or coding skills, but anything I could do to help - testing, etc...for me this would be a learning exercise....

actually a lot of interests has been expressed when i was throwing around the idea elsewhere, a single community can have multiple teams...but the idea behind the teams is because everyone is always pressed for time, it takes a lot of the workload off and allows people to have some good clean fun.

[keoshi]

I have to agree with Chester on this...

I don't get why outside communities would do a template for Pixelpost... Isn't it better to keep that challenge for us?

I may not be always in the forums but I'm a Pixelpost addicted since it's earlier releases and I guess this community should not ask for outside participation...

My opinion.
My 2 cents.

why would they? just for fun and cause we're moving to open-source so its a good cause, and many of their members run pixelpost for their photoblogs

if you would like an in-house contest, that can be arranged to...

Sorry, not 'why would they', but simply 'why not just us?'
But, of course, I'm not part of the admin so it's up to you guys :)

[Chester]

I like the idea of teams, not only to spread the workload, but also because people have different strengths and weaknesses. Some might be excellent CSS coders, others might be stronger in the layout design and feel, and others might just be able to contribute a kick ass PP logo.

I think having outside forums participate is a good idea...the more the better...

[keoshi]

I'm alone on this. :P

[netwalker]

I'm also interested in participating with the "pixelpost team".

I have some knowledge of HTML and CSS, and also of graphic design.

So, tell me, how can I help the team. :wink:

[Joe[y]]

i've become pretty good at xhtml and css over the past couple of years. perhaps i could lend a hand too!

simply to get a massive turnout of good templates, clean code, user-friendly designs that fit the all-around needs of users...and for fun

[blinking8s]

:)
