Alright everybody we have a new competition starting now. We need your graphical expertise to design some new and creative images to be used on new HBH merchandise (t-shirts,mugs,posters,stickers, etc).Graphics should include Hellboundhackers or the web address www.hellboundhackers.org (Obviously) Somewhere in it. All the entries will be gathered and we'll take the best of the best and post them so everyone can vote on which ones they like.
Please use the following guidelines for images:
Use .png format.
960x960 or 10x10 in @200DPI (So they can be resized and cropped).
Also would like to see a few,
2208x3360 or 23x35 inches @200DPI (For posters).
As a bonus incentive, All members who submit a "Good" image will receive 10 community points for each entry.
Prizes:
1st place = 100 Points + possibly an extra prize if it's really damn good!
2nd place = 75 Points
3rd place = 50 Points
**Maybe more places will be added depending on quality of images**
Please upload your images to an image hosting site (Photobucket, Imageshack, etc) and send the link to me.
The competition deadline will be set for 9/30/2009. This gives everyone plenty of time so let's get moving and be creative. Good luck to everyone and let's see everyone get involved!
Thanks,
KORG

So I guess the EM members didn't respond to this as well as you guys hoped, eh?
Also, since the entries are being sent straight to you, korg, no one will know who submitted what. I feel that this would be a pretty kick-ass time to actually use the poll for something serious. Once the competition is over, you could number the entries and post them in a thread. Then ask which is the community's favorite and we'll be able to vote for the best one. This way the new guys won't feel threatened and everyone can feel involved. The restrictions are already in place, so it would be fairly difficult to mess with.
Or you can just choose, I don't really care. Just an idea I've been promoting since the Theme comp...
I remember a while ago some guys started working on graphics for the HBHCon and Cheese popped in and spat out a couple other rules. Something about graphics with more colors costing more to produce, and the like. Are we limited on what effects we use, or is everything A-OK?

It never even got started with the EM. With the voting that's actually what I plan to do. Gather up all the submissions and have either cheese or I pick out like the best 10 or so. Then we can post them so everybody can vote on which one they like the best. The members are picking the winners here.

From my experience in print, (if this actually goes to print) It should be in in CMYK. Most print shops use CYMK. Also in depending on the style of print you should consider how many colors you are going to use. For example: Hats, Logos on stickers, Business cards should be limited in color choices since it could look bad and unclear in the end. For shirts, what kind of print are you going for? There is alot more involved then just making the pictures you have to know where its going and what type of print shop it is going to: Lithography, Web-Offset, Flexography, Screen? This information will make it easier for us to design around the print shops setup.

Using the vote panel is ... Silly.
It would need a table modification for it to be useful, you see, there are a maximum of eight different "options", so voting *might* have to be done via forums and manual counting.

I plan on members voting via the forums. The screening place supports all types of imaging as far as I can see, They do the conversion work for print.

unlike the current hbh t-shirts, which are screen printed. i.e each colour is a seperate screen and some special heat gel is used. so its super professional 
the t-shirts etc on this place are effectivly a posh heat transfer. so any colours can do, but its best to stick to few colours, darker the better so it does not fade in the wash.
posters, stickers, mugs, etc etc etc.. go mental! use which ever colours you want.
im really keen on seeing some awesome hbh posters! i'd buy loads of them! |

Bah. It's much harder to actually make a logo/picture than it is to randomly create an awesome background. I might actually have to plan out what I'm going to do ahead of time rather than just pressing a couple buttons like usual...

I think posters would be a kick ass idea, as long as they were well designed. Personally, though, I'd never buy any clothing. Unfortunately I have no graphics skills in any shape or form, but im really interested to see what the rest of the community comes up with,
Good luck guys

What you won't wear HBH t-shirts what's wrong with you? People you don't need to be a graphics expert, Just whip something up, Experiment with it and you might have something cool.

Well, I'd just have a hard time explaining to everyone that I see that about my shirt. I kinda try not to broadcast the word hacker to avoid having to explain it so often to people who wont believe me anyways, 
However, I've been meaning to try to learn *some* graphical stuff to make up for my absolute failure at any other type of art, so maybe if I think of something and try to put into inkscape or something.

And by that I mean fabric colour, duh.

I thought they would be, but my idea wouldn't work on any other colour (now, you art and science freaks, don't point out that's a shade, and absence of colour respectively) especially white, and why do you wear a ski-mask? Too ugly?
