Valentine's competition

**helen****helen** Deactivated Posts: 9,235 Supreme Poster
Hey hey,
:wave:

TheSite.org is launching a facebook cards application which will allow members to send our ecards through the networking website. This will mean our cards are available to send via two places - our Waste Time section and facebook.

We're aiming for a pre- Valentine's facebook launch and would love some new cards to boost the section. This is where you come in...

We're offering the people who submit the best designs the chance to win a durex play indulge pack which includes a charm personal massager, play lubricant, play heat lubricant, play soak bath essence, play scent room spray and some fragrant candles. We've got two of these sets to give away. Lush to keep, or give away as a Valentine's gift :love:

To submit your designs you can either post them in this thread, or send them to me via email: helen@thesite.org - like in the photo competition, there's no limit on the number of designs you can submit and we'll select the best two to win the prizes. :thumb:

Design details

Flash: optional.

Dimensions: maximum file size is 50kb or 55kb and the picture size: 450 x 323 (landscape)

If you're designing a static design - a gif or jpeg is fine.

If you want to make it animated send us the .swf file and .fla file (the source file from which it's generated) via email. If not an animated gif is fine :thumb:

Anymore questions, just ask :) Happy designing!

Deadline for entries is 6th Feb.

    Cool, but where's the image from? We can't have images being ripped off.
    Make sure you use sites like stock xchng and - I often use yotophoto too. :)

    Tee hee - that's a classic.

    Also, deadline for entries is now 6th Feb as we'd like to use one of the winning entries for a facebook flyer. :)

    Yes photos are cool to use as long as they are your own.

    Oooh... If I manage to get a computer with internet access and Photoshop (no internet at home so it's not easy!) then I'll have a go...

    Last call guys - will need them by end of today!

    ETA: Actually - we can keep this going for a bit. It will mean the cards won't necessarily go on the facebook app ready for launch but probably a fun thing to keep going if people are potentially still interested?

    I'm a bit noobish so you might have to resize it for me:

    Oh and apologies for the subtle heteronormative implication but I like doodling :p

    Well, it started off with me copying a card I had made exactly the same. And on that card, I couldn't for the life of me remember what a magnet looked like (I was thinking of the grey magnets that don't look like nothing, didn't even THINK about the red horseshoe type).

    So I decided to turn it into a geeky card. The Magnet is a pic that won't load on the net, hence the code of [blush][/blush] underneath :)

    Does that make more sense?
