I don't know why, but my favorite part is the border. It's so cool! I've been trying to do them like that lately.

I agree. The border is A+ primo. :)

Thanks, guys!

I dunno, I rather liked the beveled edge of your submitted one, BuzzKill. It gave it more of the placard feel you seemed to be going for. Perhaps a slimmer one instead of completely removing it?

I originally had it thinner but for some reason I ended up making it more prominent. Thinner is better.

(I also added some posts holding the glass to the wood. :wink:)

Thank you. I trust you also corrected my misspelling of the word: rivets :wink:

Yes even janettsue tost her hat in the ring. I enjoyed takeing part. I hated that when I went to post I had to post after madjik. Buzzkill's purple hat is too cool he even has mitered corners on his wood plaque. I liked the sunglasses and Jerbert's lady friend and Groucho and... It all made me smile.

This was my alternate, it was hard to choose.

I reckon I'll be taking a shot at the next one. Lucky for me I didn't enter this one, as i have NO clue who this Jerbert fellow is :)

I would like to throw the "time" theme back into the hat.

Any other suggestions? Ideas?

I like the abstractness of the concept of "Time" as a theme.

The problem I see with OS themes is there's already a set style. With a Vista theme, the glut of the entries would be glassy with a green field background and a blue glass bar somewhere. There's very little one can do to expand upon the concept of an established theme. Unless someone did a Mac ad... :wink:

It's BuzzKill's call this time, because nobody wanted to vote for me... :P

The more you tighten your grip, the more star systems will slip through your fingers...

 

The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. And nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it. One day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world.
Amy: But how did it end up in there?
The Doctor: You know fairy tales. A good wizard tricked it.
River Song: I hate good wizards in fairy tales; they always turn out to be him.

I still like the idea of time as a theme...

Ditto. I think bK likes it, too.

Yes, I do. I also like the idea of an "Anything goes..." theme. Although that wouldn't be much of a theme. :?

I'll wait until sometime tonight (Saturday) before I decide on a theme. Most likely, I'll go along with the consensus of the forum.

It's "Time!"

Have fun and good luck to all who participate in the upcoming competition!

I'll leave it in CMD's hands as to when the competition will start, as well as the creation of the thread in which it will be held.

Stay tuned!

That's what I've got so far, what do you guys think?

I made it at 10 x the size, here is the fullsize version.

I also made the clock in it:

It is 100% paint.NET :)

Son, someday you will make a girl happy for a short period of time. Then she'll leave you & be with men that are ten times

better than you can imagine. These men are called musicians. :D

So do I :)

It still needs a bit of looking at, but I'm not sure what to do really...

Well if we're posting them in here already:

Version 1:

Version 2: (Smaller, little border)

Which is better? I kinda think if i made V1 smaller, I wouldn't need the border. The pic itself is actually a really simple one to make, but i really like it!

EDIT: Hosted them on imageshack instead of attaching.

Indeed. Also, it is time. :wink:

It took eight interim competitions, but the first ever topic proposed for this competition finally came to fruition. I'm happy. :D

Click the pic for the larger (1000 x 1000) version

Ok, I ran out of ideas for the other sig I made, this one is 100% Paint.NET again. It loses a little in the downsizing but I still think it's pretty good :)
