| | What do you guys think of having themed sig of the week contests? Like one week the theme is cars, the next it's tekken, the next it's mario...or something like that? Or should we just have general ones each time?
Let me know what you guys think...if I see a majority for either side I'll start doing SOTW accordingly.
EDIT: And if you think it should be themed, suggest a few. |

I forgot to post my thoughts... I think we should start out with a few no-theme SOTWs, so everybody can get a feel for it, then move on to themes, to keep things interesting.

Because Trap17 is such a big community, themed would be the way to go in the future. However, since the PS forums (whilst growing) aren't the largest, yeah I think it should start without themes. Basically what you said Johnny

Without. That way, people can do what they want, so if they don't like a video game, they don't have to make a sig about it.

If we switch themes around, it may give people a fair playing field, so people don't keep using the same style to win it every time. I think I said that right...

yes you did johnny yeah it makes fair judgement to do it that way. start it off slowly and work our way up but SOTW you have to have a general theme, so the brushing would have to be the theme then.

No, not themed brushing. That would get annoying...just like, the renders, mainly.

I would say leave it free for the designer to choose. It is sig of the week, meaning the best sig of that week. Some designers like more of an art looking sig, while others settle for a render and text. When you have a spiderman theme, or a tekken theme, everyone uses the same 1-2 renders, and it gets old. Open theme is the best, for good.

it's better to have themed sotw because it's easier to judge, but not those type of themes, liek siant michael posted, but like these examples... horroe movies, comedy, war, celebrities, automobiles, etc... but not themes from each game or movie..cuz u'll probbly get a lot of similar sigs..

QUOTE(Frozen @ Aug 3 2005, 11:53 PM) Well, I would say, if we do proceed with public voting, make sure the voter has over 20 posts. I don't want to see people send their friends to vote for them, and they post once and leave. That is extremely lame, another reason I quit game renders -.- They can't do that anyway. This is a serious forum, and if they come in and say 1 word (one liner), we'll ban them.

can be blended with the design just as long as there is some hint that its there. If anyone has
questions about how this works send a pm or post your question here, but it shouldn't be hard to
