Guidelines

Rules of the graphic section

This is the full guide to request and general procedures on the graphics section of GZpower Forums. First a word of explanation.

The Graphics Forum is divided into 4 categories:

* Graphics Requests - the ONLY place to request: Banners, avatars, signatures , buttons of all sort for your forum and more...
* Self-service - Proposal - If you have some self made buttons or other graphics that you are no longer using ,you can post them here for others to use.
* Self-service - Gallery - The graphics that are posted in the above forum are moderated and if they qualify they go to this forum.
* Graphic contest - Here members can challenge others to collab sigs or any other graphics based contests


With that out of the way we all know where to post what.


REQUESTING GRAPHICS FOR MY FORUM



1) Remember to start with an explicit title, it should contain the general nature of your request for example : "Requesting banner for my forum"

Idea Note that requests with invalid or non-explicit titles will be locked or deleted. Also, if you put a title like "I want request NOW!" you request won't be done ; it will be locked.

2) Second you MUST use the graphics commander available here :

Code:

[color=yellow][b]Nature of the creation :[/b][/color] YOUR INFOS HERE
[color=yellow][b]Creation size (in pixels) :[/b][/color] YOUR INFOS HERE
[color=yellow][b]With or without animation :[/b][/color] YOUR INFOS HERE (precise the kind of animation you want)
[color=yellow][b]Background color :[/b][/color] YOUR INFOS HERE
[color=yellow][b]Picture(s) link(s) :[/b][/color] YOUR INFOS HERE
[color=yellow][b]Text to insert :[/b][/color] YOUR INFOS HERE
[color=yellow][b]Link to the font to download :[/b][/color] YOUR INFOS HERE
[color=yellow][b]Font color :[/b][/color] YOUR INFOS HERE
[color=yellow][b]Extra comments :[/b][/color] YOUR INFOS HERE

Idea All you do is fill the information.

Idea It is advised to add exact pixel sizes (width and height) or at least an estimate to the final products size.
Same goes for color... make sure to specify clearly.

3) In general all members can try to complete a graphics request... but it is the new Graphics Staff job to do these requests so thier word is FINAL!... The Graphics Staff consists of qualified GFX artists that are here to help you in your requests. The Graphics Staff are moderators in any section dealing with Graphics. A GFX Staff member is to be treated with the same respect as any other staff member on this forum! The Graphics Staff are also humans and could be unable to complete a request , or could take longer to complete. Give them some time and space to complete everything.

4) Request BUMPING is tolerated but under strict rules:

* Full theme requests are NEVER bumped
* Bumps must be separated by at least 24 hour time spans - but impulsive bumping will result in warns
* There are many requests to be finished so it is advised that you only request once per week - everyone deserves a fair chance ...please do not flood the request forum. Members that post their 2 or 3 request in one week will have a lower priority and DO NOT have the right to BUMP



5) Request completion:
A Graphics Staff member will always reply to a topic he is planning to complete. Graphics Staff can tag their the current request (by either saying so in a post or simple adding a **tagged** sign) - which mean that this specific GFX artist is going to handle the request. After a Request is Tagged , bumping is disallowed.

6) After a request is complete please add [Done] to your topic title... then it is easier for the GFX Staff to clean up. Otherwise Requests are moved to the finished forum after 24 hours.
6a) or you can edit your topic and select the solved image to make it even more easier.
