The current ones are 114x35 (114?) So we will need to stay in the same size range or smaller.
Here are the specs for the contest:
115 x 35 is the maximum size, but you can make them smaller if you want to.
You will need to have seven images: design for the five levels, with modifications for Admin and Moderator.
You can work alone, or with someone else.
You must submit your designs in either jpg, gif or png. They should be 5 kb or less (each.)
The winner will be chosen by a Survivor type vote. You should submit your designs in this topic, no later than June 27, 2007. That gives you just about a month to work on it.
You may submit as many as you like, but if we have a zillion, we will be thoroughly ruthless in our first Tribal Council.
Currently our Status Thingys reflect Al and Da Guys. But they don't have to. This is a Weird Al Forum, so if you want to just design with Al in mind, that's ok.
Also, don't limit yourself to thinking of heads. It can be anything.
Submit your designs to this topic. Chit chat will be put in the Poop Deck.
Example:
It has to be created as five separate graphics. A different one is linked when you get to a certain posting level.

And there needs to be a slight modification for Admin and Mod. So you're making seven different graphics that go together in one set.

MOD Edit: Sorry to hijack your post, Ak... But I needed to put the specs in the first topic, and after I merged the two topics, your post was first...
AK Edit: Not a problem ... makes sense to have it like this.
Based off of this post and the posts that preceeded and followed it, everyone kinda seems on board with having a contest to create new "Al Heads" that appear underneath your screen name.
So, although I didn't come up with the idea or contribute at all to the conversation and probably should have left this to someone else .... I decided to get the ball rolling and start a topic for this contest!
So, anyone interested in creating new "Al Heads", just post 'em here! And, let's say there'll be a month time limt. And let's say that after a month, well vote on the one we like the best. And let's say, that people who want to switch to the new "Al Heads" that win the contest can!
So ... yeah ... all you creative people ... get to giving us some good heads!!
