uesugi_gakuto community layout contest

[shinimegami21]

Hello all!

Over at uesugi_gakuto (Gackt Army's affiliated community) we are holding a layout contest, so this post mainly appeals to those with skills in digital arts and layout making! The contest starts September 12th (today!) and lasts until October 12th, 11:59 EST.

The rules can be found here, at a public entry on the community. Although the dates in the rules are for the first contest, obviously they are not the dates for this one, and the rules have not changed.

Also, keep in mind that the new layout may or may not have a side bar (this option can be chosen when customizing a layout). It has caused some problems when it comes to tags, as viewers have to scroll past the tags sidebar to see certain community content, like images, and the usernames in the reply page are unreadable unless highlighted. When making a new layout, please keep these things in mind.

I think this contest will be interesting, considering there is a vast amount of images to choose from compared to last years's contest! I can't wait to see entries!


If there are questions, please ask!

I don't have questions and I can't help in the least (I can't even spell "laay out" ha ha) but I thought I'd say that, on the existing UG face, I do like the black background and especially the icon holder shape - nicest one I know!

But you're right - the L-O-N-G tag bar is a pest and it IS hard to read stuff when leaving a comment. Shall I confess to you? When I want to comment on UG, I usually hit "enter" without typing anything and then LJ takes you to a nice white page where you can type your comment in the daylight (it also tells you you've been a dork to try to send a blank comment but that's a small price to pay not to squint!)

Hope you get a talented response to the contest. It's for a Kenshin comm so there ought to be a good battle just to keep in character!

LOL! I never knew you could do that! That is a good trick to know!

I hope so too!

Yeah, well, you obviously never HAVE been a real dork ;)

you'd be surprised lol

I've always found it nearly impossible to read to comment on entries, (I have to highlight the text) because the text is grey on black.

[shinimegami21]

Yeah, I've heard the same complaints. :/ So I hope that someone can make a readable layout for us.
