Because we're trying to breathe new life into SD, we're going to be looking for some new images for the site. We're going to need

  • New icons for each level of membership (Admin, Mod, Member, Guest, etc).
  • A new default background and banner that will catch the eye of potential newcomers.
  • Some images to replace the folders next to "SD Symposium", "Video Games", "Scrapbook", "Off Topic", and "Quarantine Zone".
  • Etc.

Is there anybody willing to work on a few of these images for us? And is there anything else I missed?

Also, if anyone does decide to take this one up, it's good to note that the images aren't skin-specific but rather are applied to all available skins on the site.

It's quite possible that I'd have time to work on some of this, but I can't guarantee that. So... if anyone wants to do it, go for it!

Are we looking for images for these?

Either or both, as it were. It depends on how ambitious you're feeling, really. :P

If only Rob was still around. Sorry I can't help on this, but my graphics skills don't go beyond MS Paint. It's good that Jana is taking this up... as she went to college for it. :P

I could see some very funny pictures coming from some of those titles :)
So what, I'm a Star Wars geek?!?

I hear Stalin makes a great "The Czar" picture. XD

Here's what I came up with so far for the titles. Went for more of a bar rather than a square image because our current ones are kind of like second avatars. :P

Hey, nice job! I'm not really a fan of the square one but I think the rounded one looks awesome. I'm not sure about the red, though; the only skin it would really blend with is Maya. That's not to say it couldn't still be used, though.

Edit: Would it be a good idea to replace all the group images with ones like these?

I like the rectangle-shape for member titles over the square ones. They take up less space and look more professional. :)

I actually like the red, it fits with having the admins' names show up in red.

I only did it in red because it would match the color of admins' names, like The Guy said. I was going to change the color for every usergroup.

I changed my mind. :) That sounds like a sweet idea.

Can I put this one to use?

Still says the image has been moved or deleted. In any case, the others are up and they look much better than our previous ones.

Edit: I just went into your Photobucket directory and downloaded it from there. Problem fixed. :)

Hah, those are pretty cool. The only thing I don't like is that the mods and gurus' colors are very similar, but I guess that's how the names are.

Edit: Now that I look at it, they really aren't that similar. Looks good.

Yeah, it's just based off of the original colors for the member groups. I can see how you might see a guru as a mod if you're just glancing at a post, but I don't think it'll be too much of an issue. At any rate, the color of the guru group and image can easily be tweaked by messing around with the hue filter and some color codes...

Those are pretty good. You should make one to replace the old one for the "guest" user group, too.

I like the gloss; it makes the titles stand out even more. But I'm not sure if that's what we want, or if Tru7h thinks they should be more subtle.
