BSD's 1st Contest!! Come Join! :]

 I’m still working on new things for another update so while you all are waiting I’ve been thinking about making some kind of contest. Yes, BSD is going to have an icon contest and since I love making icons I’m making a contest out of it. So bleh!

Little Description for the Icon Contest :
This contest will see how creative you can be using the skills you have in photoshop. If some of you know on livejournal they have some sites that have people posting up their 100 icon challenge.  What’s that? Well people on those sites get to pick their favorite anime series, find images of that series but here is the thing they use & find an image that reflexes on the text. For example let’s say I give you a word let’s say Unforgiving and I have you a series called Loveless to do the 100 icon challenge. Well you the artist will have to find some kind of image that resembles to Unforgiving make an icon out of it do some text if you like but it all depends on your creativity. But here in BSD I’m going to only let you all do ten which easier, no?

I’m going to hold 3 challenges to make out three winners. So if you’re ready for the challenge get ready! The first challenge will hold the 10 Icon Challenge, second will only be a 5 Icon Challenge and then lastly a 1 Icon Challenge.  I’m going to be the judge rather than the public it’ll make things easier than waiting for others to vote on. So expect me to be a bit pickier when I pick the winners in each round. Anyone is allowed to join and above all this is for fun & there will be awesome prizes for each of the 3 winners. 

If you are still confused about what a 100 Icon Challenge is look HERE.

Since I'm going to hold a 10 icon challenge contest there are a few rules you must view and know before entering. If you do not read or acknowledge them I'll ignore you completely.

made by everina ;]

10 Icon Challenge – 1st Round
The first round will be for you to use images to the animated/manga series called Loveless.

RULES TO THE FIRST CHALLENGE {10 Icon Challenge - LOVELESS}
1.
I’m going to provide you a series which you’ll do on your 10 icon Challenge on. And you are only to do it on that series. You cannot do the 10 Icon Challenge on a different series that I haven’t given you. If you choose to do something else than what I’ve given you then all your work would have been for nothing.
2.
I’m going to give you a code where you will place you icons at. In the code there will be words already set for the challenge which you’ll have to find an image that’ll represent that word.  Once you have everything done make some kind of new post on your xanga (anywhere doesn’t matter.) Return & fill out the form when turning in your Icon Challenge and comment here on BSD. Right Click & Save this file which consists the coding in where you will place your icons. ---- > CODE

Please read the code carefully because in each number has the text which I want your image to be based on. :]

TURN IN FORM
1.
Username: Your nickname/username as you’re known as.
2.
Xanga site name/Website link: Your xanga’s sites name/link of it.
3.
10 Icon Challenge post Link: Where your 10 Icon Challenge posted at.
4.
Have you Subscribed?: This is for you  not for me at all, this will help you when updates have been made for the contest and keep you updated if I don’t come by in telling you what’s going on. :]

3. You must place the banner that I’ve made for the challenge on your site somewhere, doesn’t matter. Mainly to help make more graphic designers to come and join in on the fun to make things go smoothly. This’ll help out a lot. In each round the banners will change for each round so keep an eye on new updates.
4.
You and only you have to design the icon no working with others! You have to do this on your own, no cheating now. T__T  If I catch you cheating you will no longer be in the icon challenge.
5.
Remember this is for fun to win some cool prizes. This isn’t to see who is the greatest or does the best in icon making have fun. ;]

PRIZES
& In each round everyone will have some kind of prize from yours truly. ;] But only the top three winners will get the prize that I plan to give out at the end of this icon challenge. For each of you who do not go on to the next rounds for the contest I will make you a little banner and an icon of your choice.

♥ FOR THE TOP THREE WINNERS AT THE END OF THE ICON CHALLENGE : The three will have the following. You can pick them all or choose to your liking. =O

1. A layout made especially made only for you. (Can pick what color, image, text, style, on how light or dark the layout will be, and or no pattern background.  Depends all on you.)
2. Any extras such as an icon, signature/banner, and or no wallpaper.
3. Any tutorial you wish for me to make. (I’ll try my best in giving you any tips you wish to know.)
4. Will be added onto my affiliates section.
5. Banner of being the top 3 winners of the 3 Round Icon Challenge.

DUE DATE FOR THE 1st ROUND {10 Icon Challenge}
I haven’t thought about when the first round will end once I see how much people plan to join I’ll figure out some kind of due date and return with an update when it’s due.

It's a great series. You need to watch it! But be careful if you decide to use Youtube because there are two seasons and both of them start out the same exact way (spoiler) so you may become confused (like I did.) You'll know the difference by the theme songs... the 1st season's theme is Hishoku no Sora by Mami Kawada and season II starts with Joint also by Mami Kawada. I have Hishoku no Sora on my music player...good song lol.

Yes we are making our return to the layout making business, and hopefully we will manage to maintain ourselves even when school resumes again, because that seemed to get the best of us last time.

I barely have time to sit down at the computer anymore. I have summer homework to finish and my mom is giving me so many chores to do lately. >.<  If I get lucky, I have about a 1/2 hour a day to be on.

Yes, that is a lot of requests. ^^; oh, and thank you. ^-^ I probably will join as soon as i finish all these requests. @_@ most of them are buttons, which take longer than layouts. ;3;

woo~ assistants are always helpful. xD but its better if you know them in person, so you kow when theyre online and stuff. :3 i used to be the assistant, but takara hardly ever goes on xanga anymore, so... yea. xD (which reminds me... i need a new profile pic that doesnt say takara. xD) eh... im just rambling on and on. x3

Thankfully, there are no chores today (mom gave me a "day off" lol) but I still have to read some of my stupid school book. Don't get me wrong, I love to read but school ALWAYS seems to pick the most stupid books for summer assignments.

I already suggested that they do that. Last year, one of the essays in our book report was: did you like the book, why or why not? Give specific examples. So after I critiqued the book, I brought up the idea that maybe students should be given more of a choice in what they read because forcing them to read things they aren't interested in is why so many people don't like to read in the first place.

Sounds fun but I'll probably won't do since I don't stand a chance against people who have photoshop.

I only have panit shop,abode imageready CS,animationshop 1,and abode illustrator 8.0.

There all pretty useless  against people with photoshop.
