user posted imageWith the upcoming addition of a downloads section to anthems.com.au, we are in dire need of old school anthems related material, especially things such as wallpapers, screensavers and winamp skins.

Now is your chance to help us out by participating in our competition for the artistically inclined. Prizes will go to the winner of each category, and runners-up will get the opportunity to have their entries showcased and hosted on the anthems website for all to use. [more information]
PaulHamon
The competition is simple...

Create an original anthems desktop/wallpaper, screensaver, or Winamp skin and post it in this topic to be judged.

The prizes are astounding...

A winner from each category (wallpaper, screensaver and winamp skin) will be chosen, and awarded with:

1 x anthems.com.au tshirt
1 x ticket to one.point.one on Saturday December 31
1 x ticket to old school anthems on Monday December 26

Entries that display a high standard of originality and quality will be hosted and available for use in the upcoming downloads section of the anthems.com.au website.

The rules are lenient...

1. Anyone and everyone can participate.
2. You can enter more than one category.
3. You can submit as many entries as you like.

Submissions will close on Friday December 9.

POST YOUR SUBMISSION IN THIS THREAD
Jutsin
Looking forward to seeing the outcome of this, and thanks to Paul the prizes make it more than worth-while biggrin.gif

Funnily enough the inspiration for this idea came from wishing I had an anthems.com.au wallpaper .. wanting to make one .. then realising it'd be easier to get other people to make them instead.

Game on and so forth smile.gif

i musta knew something was up cos i decided to come online and lookie here an art comp!

Im so in!!!

*thinks up many things that she can use*
Ravvy
... tho this might be mostly computer generated stuff...
*hmmmms'..*
This im going to have to work on now...!
Jutsin
It doesn't necessarily have to be computer generated.

There's ways of transferring things you've done in real life onto the computer .. I mean at some stage it will need to pass through the giant computer box machine etc .. but it doesn't need to be created by it !
Ravvy
oh, you mean scanning!!!

now all i have to do is get my house mate to set hers up *she has the stuff to do it not me* then i'll be set...!!!

i might give both a go... computer generated and ravvy generated that is...!
Jutsin
Also .. people thinking that winamp skinning and making a screensaver is too difficult should just try their hand. It's quite likely most others will be thinking the same thing and just not give it a go .. which obviously increases your chances of winning.

Point being: just give it a shot, you may learn a thing or two, and even pick up a great prize smile.gif
Ravvy
yes Jutsin... i want to see some entries from you thanks!
Jutsin
I think if I ended up winning this it would look a little too suspicious, so we'll see what happens tongue.gif
Ravvy
did you think up the idea or something?
*re-reads Jutsins first post*

well... you can still enter you just cant win it! thats sounds like a good plan!
Jutsin
I even wrote up the posts and stole/made (mostly stole) the image to go with it.

Paul added in the bolding where it was necessary, and then promised me I would win in all the categories as long as I didn't use the tickets, etc .. and now here we are !
Ravvy
here we are indeedy...
welll... along with Paul's help i think this is a fantabulous idea!
being a bit of an art freak i feel this is going to be challenging for me because its probably not going to look like most of my other work!

WoooT!

Cmon Paul!!! You know im a tryhard at heart wink.gif
Ravvy
alright well heres a quick one i did...
AND i even have it as my desktop...
so i guess im saying that its to go in the desktop entry? anyway...

okay so its pixelated, but i like it because it complements the smoothness of the text... and the text is more artistic which complements the simpleness of the images...

so... this is just one of MANY to come...
expect the unexpected...

what dya think?

Therefore .. me like.

Keep it up, guys and girls smile.gif

WOOOOOOOOT! someone else likes it!
primitive cavepeople did great art... they mustve, you still see some of it nowadays thats how great it is...
and... its basic... which is so much better... your eyes dont trip out from over use of colors and images and wildness!!!

ok so i looked her up found all sort of photos, so i kinda get the gist of what she was
KandiRaver
she is so cool... she was so many different ppl.
i loved her bondage/fetish (but then i'm a freak)
but i also loved her jungle shots.

you have to take the time to read about her life, it is fascinating..
next week i'll post a picture of her that i'm sure EVERYONE has seen, they just didn't know who the girl was! - you'll be suprised!

morph has a photos too, did u see that flyer for 0ne point one?? his pic is on the top half of the one!!!!!!!!!!!! so proud
EpharGy
Not all of those photos are from one, the two which are from me, Bexta and Fatal Dose (i think thats all) are from Winter Enchanted 3

Personally, i'd be pissed if someone won a prize using a photo i took without my consent, a simple pm would of been nice plus i would of gave the original high res images to use.

Actually the picture of the crowd bottom left and the green Laser top right are mine also i think....


My contribution, all from the previous St Pauls anthems, all photos are my own.

yeah me and shags r a team. she has the ideas but dont know how 2 use the programs. so she is the ideas and im the skills.. lol... so if we win we either have 2 get a t-shirt each or 1 big 1 so we can both fit in it.. smile.gif

too think about it i agree with that fully, but another thing is if u put ur pics out there ppl are bound to "borrow" them....i guess thats the risk u take.... having morph taking pics too i can use all his and not have to use other ppls....

one thing that is funny is the pic of a pic of me with a smiley on my face that got used in someone else, u have to enlarge it to see it..... might put that up and enter it as a pic .

Im actually working on a 2 part deviantart piece using the picture of the empty St Pauls before anthems that i took at the bump in, i'll try and get it finished next week.

Thats one reason i am tempted to start lowering the res of the images i take to 480px wide, with watermarks and ONLY hosting them at my site with not hotlinking.

The main point im making, is, dont make artwork without giving other artists due credit for there contributions.

Its kind of easy to see that kind of plagarism if the images end up getting posted on a site i peruse often. Which is why i can make noise about it!!

All that said, im fine with him using them, just hope to get a nice message from em later.

Some friendly critique on his montage, proper resizing of my pics to bring them into line with the others image sizes would make it look much better, and the desturated picture on the left side needs more colour or to be replaced.

I hope to see v2 of it

so remember ppl, it might be ur great ideas but without the pics that are available there would be nothing to make ur pics with.....so asking might not be a bad idea.....and a thank you to everyone that takes pics and lets us see what a great nite was had by all...without u we would all be wondering ...."what did happen that nite after i left??"

I think you'll find most people rather the satisfaction when people ask permission to use something they've done created, i know i do, and ive yet to knock back anyone asking to use an image of mine for something, both my rave stuff and my stuff @ DA.

I can only assume EpharGy is talking about my wallpaper, in which case his initial argumentative point is utterly wrong, and he's missed the point of me even posting a wallpaper to begin with .. having said that:

Normally I'd bite to provocation, but that's not what anthems is about - so the issue will be solved in private, at least that's what I'm hoping for.

My reasoning behind using EpharGy's pics was simply that a competition for the anthems website seemed a fine place to use material from the anthems website.

What EpharGy is saying though is completely true - it is a good idea to let someone know when you are using something they have created, and it also gives the artist/photographer a sense of satisfaction to know something they've produced is being put to further use.

So yeah, let's learn from this mixup and keep others informed when we use their stuff smile.gif

My first attempt at a winamp skin ohmy.gif

Steps to use:

1. Download it here.

2. Unzip/extract those files into your Winamp Skins folder (in a folder of it's own). For example: C:\Program Files\Winamp\Skins\Anthems

3. Open winamp.

4. Press ALT and S at the same time.

5. Select "Anthems" (if you named the folder "Anthems") and then close the options.

6. This skin will work on Winamp 2.x and Winamp 5.x smile.gif

7. Should end up looking something like this:

Second attempt:

1. DL the skin here.

2. Unzip/extract the files to C:\Program Files\Winamp\Skins\Anthems_2

3. Open Winamp.

4. Press ALT and S at the same time.

5. Select "Anthems_2".

6. The skin will again work on Winamp 2.x or 5.x smile.gif

7. It should look something like this:

I've just been informed that you can also just move the .zip file to the Winamp Skins directory and it'll work that way.

.. as in, you don't HAVE to extract the zip file to the directory - you can just move the file itself and it'll work fine biggrin.gif

maybe if you tried to use the "emboss or engrave" formats you might get the look you are going for?

I don't get what you mean.

Technically you dont even have to open them - just move the zip file into your Winamp Skins directory, it'll work same as if you unzip to a folder in the Winamp Skins directory smile.gif

Best idea to stick to.

Remember, the better of these will be going in a downloads section (if there's enough to add) - the more user-friendly and size-variance your entry is, the more likely it is to win and to be added to the new section of the site.

Actually it would be better more size efficient to have as large as possible that covers 4:3 and widescreen ratios mean its easy enough to resize stuff downwards, but stretching wallpapers kills em :/

Nothing to do today, so i got a bit creative.

I think the font is right - Bookman Old Style? I couldn't get the smiley face to overlap the text due to the 3D'ness.

anthems spin
anthems pulse

Still trying to get the full version of the program i used to make them (xara3d) so I can turn them into screensavers smile.gif smile.gif smile.gif

yep right font

nice work!! does xara3d accept vector files??
if so you could use the file i uploaded and extrude that to your hearts delight

had a look and i dont think so, i'd say that xara only accepts xara files sad.gif

Not tickets to one.point.one you can't smile.gif

Doesn't hurt to try - you've got to be in it to win it, etc.

The prizes for this competition are insanely awesome - the people who have complained about not being able to enter could have pumped out several submissions if they focused their time on something other than asking for more opportunities for free shit smile.gif

As far as I know (considering the price of one.point.one tickets are going up) there won't be any competitions as open-ended as this in the near future. Then again, that all depends on you smile.gif

wheres the pic??
Jutsin
I guess this is kind-of over now, bladerunner can post up his entry, but otherwise it's over.

I'll get to organising the judgment soonish.

There were a stack of great entries for the wallpaper section, unfortunately the other two were lacking somewhat .. but after much deliberation, the winner(s) of the anthems Art Competition:

Fulcrum's Wallpaper
Oldskoolie's Screensaver (by default, as no one else entered)
Jutsin's Winamp Skin (by default, as no one else entered)

The last two are completely dodgey, but Fulcrum's entry was top notch.

Good work, mate. Enjoy the spoils of war (labour?).

Getting your work out there to be seen is most important part, doesnt matter weather you win or lose aslong as you get 'noticed'!

mich

Ravvy

Hey Justin.. when do we here whats happening with the pictures and which ones are going to be used and stuff??

Any chance of a repeat of this competition?

I like coding purty screen-savers... in fact, if anyone has a nice (and not too-hard-to-implement) idea, I'm yet to do my annual SSaver for 2005...

Here's a sample of my work (to which I'd be happy to add a nice anthems logo if you're interested, Paul. Hey, I might even take off the lame copyright message in exchange for a bit of airplay on yer web-site) biggrin.gif

For anyone who doesn't know how to install a screensaver, just unzip the "Stars.scr" file in this zip into your c:\windows, then choose the "Stars ScreenSaver" in the Screen Saver tab of your display properties and apply.

mich

Fulcrum

I think I could do that... you think it'd be worth paying a (small) registration fee for if I did? biggrin.gif
Fulcrum
honestly, not really sad.gif i dont pay attention to screen savers that much (just use the winxp one)

was just wondering if it was possible...

still like it tho smile.gif smile.gif

Cool!!! Do i get a prize pack thing?
mark0matic
Well I could do a multiple monitor version, but as I don't actually have multiple monitors on my own machine, the motivation factor is quite low biggrin.gif

I'll let you know if I update it...
