| Author | - Topic: Calling all skin makers : Summer skin contest!!! - |
|---|---|
Here's the plan, i was updating a skin just for fun one i had worked on prior. I do like how it came out and think its pretty cool but i know there is a lot more that can be improved upon.
The contest: take the skin and redesign any way you feel would improve the look and overall functions of vdj. The skins will then be voted on and an overall winner will be decided. The winner then gets the skin uploaded in their name and credit for the design!!! The goal is to make some ultimate TC/scratch skin that users have chosen. I want this to be more of a timecode skin because i feel there is enough skins with on screen controls and there was never anything "default" created. This contest is all in good fun and I hope brings out some creative ideas. Currently from the screen shot, it is as if VDJ and Serato had a child together from some wild romp both choose to forget but will always remember. :) Even though i made some very Serato like spinners(outer edge progress circles!!!), i do not want this to be a total clone of some other skin already made but more like a fusion of the best ideas known so far. The skin is 1280x768(800) that the size i want you to mod, but maybe we can have some resized(if possible) after release.
***This contest is open to all users*** and for download in a zip(mac) & exe(pc) for easier download. http://www.virtualdj.com/addons/skin.html?id=4546 Good luck !!!!!!!!! may the best design win!! Please post only your screen shots here in the forum and upload your skins to the VDJ skins page. label your submissions ----> Summer Skin (your forum login name) the deadline will be August 31st (extended) |

Is there a prize for the winner :)? |
|
yes the skin lol |
|
Well i wish we could but as with most of VDJ's contributions it's done for fun and the love.
As i said the winners skin will be uploaded to their credit. |
|
anything numark might want to donate as in way of a promotional one off Simon, could yet become an annual thing, keep the company profile out front... just a thought
|

If anyone is actually skinning for this contest.... think
It might be worth a pair of TCV's if i can't get a donation i might just break my own pockets if people enter, but we need enteries due in by 8/31/08 ---- 31/8/08 (euro date) :) |

i was going to have a go at this but realised that the skin is perfect for me! Awesome job! |
|
Thanks! I think it serves its purpose. |
|
well overflow ex skin is 1440*900 and is similar to the ever popular mix station with a spinning platters and other improvements very useful for both time codes and standard play. close enough? ![]() |

i posted my skin http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/1372/vdjlm6.jpg now i'm waiting to be the winner..eheheheh!!! |

I really appreciate the efforts here but what i had asked for was to take the skin i uploaded and modify that in any way you seem fit to make it the "best" skin, not upload a different skin. I was really hoping for a better turn out, perhaps we can try this again now that summer is over and people might have more time on their hands. Thanks for anyone that took the time look and downloaded my skin. |
