Crazy Man Dan Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Well, jake's still tied-up and the peoples are starting to riot, so here it is! SOTW#5! SOTW Rules are still: 1. Max sig dimensions follow the board's max sig dimensions, 500x150. 2. No crude/offensive language, pics, et cetera. 3. Sig must follow the set theme. 4. Only one entry per person and no modifications are allowed after submitting your entry. 5. You must post any and all stock images used in your sig (just post the URLs ) ***This thread is for posting your entries only! If you wish to talk about one of the entries you can do so here.*** If your entry breaks any of the rules it will be disqualified. The theme is Weather. Weather is the thing that happens outside where your computer isn't. :wink: Rain, ice, tornadoes, bright sun-shinyness; if it has to do with the mood of mother nature, then you can uses it! The deadline is midnight on Friday June 22nd. Today's already half-over (well, in Wisconsin at least), so I'm tacking on an extra day for perfection and polish. POLISH I SAY! Good luck.

Angelaz Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Okay, I made two very different weather sigs, but my kids overwhelmingly chose this one as the one I should submit...go figure. It's a little amateur-ish, but I couldn't go against the popular vote. The only stock images I used were a few prairie dogs from google image search.

Myrddin Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 I'm going to stand up and say 'No!' to placeholding and not follow the crowd. I'm going to walk the street alone in my own opinion whether someone follows or not, I'm not afraid to stand for what I believe and I won't be pushed into the latest fads or fashions just to be part of something and be 'hip'. But before I do that I'd like to declare this as my place. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Source images: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/28/Europe_population_growth_2006.png http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/6e/Yorkshire_Ridings.png Quote How to Save Your Images under Different File Types My dA Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Lionhearted Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 This is a mashup of an oldie...created during my first month of using Paint.Net. It uses one image. Unfortunately, because it is so old, I no longer have the original image, and no matter how I try, I can't seem to find it on Google Images anymore. Since I have no link to the URL, it's automagically disqualified from the competition...however, I thought I would post it here anyway just to say hey, here it is!

cjmcguinness Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 @Tillerman Welcome to the forum. I'm afraid you've missed the boat on this SOTW#5 competition. Entry submission ended last Friday, 22nd June. However, there will be another competition beginning very soon and if you check out SOTW Theme Discussion you can have some input into the next competition theme. Feel free to check out the submissions for SOTW #5, you can even vote for your favourite - voting is open to all forum members. Oh, and BTW, placeholders were frowned upon during this competition and I would advise that you do not put a placeholder in any future competition. Look forward to your submissions in future competitions. -CJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjmcguinness Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 @Tillerman, As you are new to the forum I suggest you take some time to read through the rules, paying attention to rule 13. The maximum size for a signature is 500px wide / 150px tall. I'd advise that you amend your current signature before it is removed by one of the forum moderators.
