Title: SOTW #1
Description: Read the damn topic first
Eskimo - July 10, 2007 07:13 PM (GMT)
Alright kids, Eskimo's in charge. Now, first let me say that this is not a standard signature competition where the best piece of work will be chosen because it looks great. That will be a big factor of course, but what I want to see, what I must have, is originality. Originality, creativity and skill are what I want to see in this and any other competitions.
For this week's competition as you may have seen at the bottom of the homepage, the theme will be 23.
Yes, 23, prime number, factor of 92, a close relative of 69, square root of 529.
You are probably thinking what the flamingo, and that's fair enough. See, what's unique about this particular theme is that it will not be about making the coolest looking sig at all really. What I want to see is how well you can integrate 23 into a signature. For instance, writing 23 on it is quite boring, isn't it? Yes indeed it is. I want to see creativity here more than anything. I want to see a flair for graphic design, and great enthusiasm.
Well? Get to it, guys.
Also, if you're confused, post here, PM, or IM me, alright? Thanks for listening.
Entry deadline: July 15th (i really don't care what timezone it is. 12am for you is 5am for me. just get them in by the 15th)

This sounds good. We just need an ending date first. Remember to submit your signature to Eskimo via PM. Read the whole rule topic first before you make your sigs.
Oh yeah, and Eskimo, there will be a poll to choose each sig, so orginality will be judged by the members, correct?

i suppose...
you can hand in sigs until the 15th. get moving.

I GUESS I will try to make a signature. I'll make it in paint though, or maybe a little or photoshop too, I just haven't learned photoshop yet.
This is a smart theme. Let's see what I can do here...

in my opinion there is a clear winner at the moment. keep in mind the point of the theme is an interesting way to integrate it, more than just simply writing "23" in a plain font. i want innovation, some of which have, some of which haven't, and some of which (nitro >_>) i don't understand because i'm not american...>_>
