Gathering of the Figments

Figment

Ok, so we have a few websites that we are setting up to affiliate with...

We have a competition running at the moment for you guys to design a button for us, but i was just wondering what you guys would like to see on our button...

As we are not specifically about one book, or one topic, but writing in general... what are some ideas that you guys have that we could put on the button... for those who can make who may not have ideas....

I am going to try to make one with photoshop, but as i have never made one before, it will probably be pretty terrible...

Ok, so i was thinking the obvious ideas, of maybe a quill or books or something, but i want it to be intriguing and exciting... i want it to draw people in...

What are some things that would draw you to a website purely by looking at its button???

Thanks guys!

Figgy.

Hm...maybe one that was like animated...like, first it lists off all the names of the boards, slow at first, then REALLY fast, then it kinda fades out and then it says in big letters G.O.T.F. and small ones under that "Gathering of the Figments", and maybe put the smaller letters in cursive or something. With a quill. Or scroll. Or a monkey. Wait, that doesn't make sense...scratch the scroll.

Well that sounds really cool! but i don't know how to make any form of button... lol...

If i could i would, but i can't...

If you know how to, then make it, but don't tell me what it SHOULD have... cause i can't make it happen... Very Happy

And we have some of those button thingies in the competition thread. Very Happy

Uh...I think on ticklishdesigns.com or jadedneo.com (both neopets graphics sites) there's a couple like animation program tutorials that you can try out for about 30 days...so know what you're gonna do and do it quick xD

no um...yeah, the only way you can do animations is with an animation program.

I can code things, I can set up all kinds of fancy movies with iMovie (the one thing I like about the mac) and I can do just about anything you want me to...except draw. But I don't have an animation program, and I can't download anything onto this computer (the real owners would KILL me) so until I get my dell back, I'm kinda useless...
