Design Challenge #33 - May/June 2017 - COLORS/THEME
Theme/Color Swatch for Design Challenge #33 - May/June 2017 Hex Codes: #271a26, #113f60, #8ba2b0, #cb6453, #a3111e, #4a2222 In honor of the two Star Wars days this month: May 4 - May the Fourth Be With You (a day for the good guys) May 5 - Revenge of the Fifth (a day for the bad guys) we are having a Star Wars Celebration; Design Challenge style! The color swatch I created for this challenge was inspired by the image you see above (credit: Google search). We are going to do this challenge a bit differently... You may either use the provided color swatch to create something of any theme, or you may use the photo as your theme inspiration. You don't have to create Star Wars, and you don't have to use the color swatch...just use one or the other to create something magical. Of course, if you want to use both the theme and the color swatch, you may. Don't forget that if you choose to use the color swatch, you can use any shade (darker or lighter) of the chosen colors. You may also use these neutral colors: black, white, shades of gray, brown, silver, gold, and green (when used for foliage only). Deadline - Friday, July 7 (by 11:59pm CST) Reveal and Blog Hop on Friday, July 14. Note the change in deadline and blog hop dates...they have been shifted ahead by one week due to a conflict in my schedule. This kit will not be sold in the MouseScrappers store. The only way to get it is to participate in the Design Challenge. Since the kit is only available to participants (shared between friends), many of the restrictions that were in place for previous challenges have been lifted. Please contact me if you have any questions. As you are planning your contribution, please look through the things others are making so the kit doesn't have a lot of duplicate items. We want this kit to have tons of variety! Try something new, learn a new technique, and stretch your boundaries a little! Check out this thread for resources, tutorials, tips, and tricks for designers. We would like to include two templates in this kit. A PhotoShop template with at least 25 layers will fulfill the minimum submission requirement. You should submit both a layered PhotoShop document and untrimmed PNG files named 1,2,3,4,5,etc. The first two people to post in this thread indicating a desire to create a template for this month’s challenge will be listed below. Template 1: roxana Template 2: murmer Submission Guidelines:
Files and Zipped Folder(s): Naming your files:Your MS username_DC#_element type_descriptionPaper Example: MMouse_DC50_paper_green.jpg Naming your folder(s):If your username is longer than 8 characters, please use an abbreviation. Avoid using spaces anywhere in the file/folder name. If you design under a different name, you may use that name instead of your MouseScrappers name.Your MS username_DC# Please limit the size of each zipped folder to 50mb. If your submission is larger than 50 mb, please split it into separate zipped folders to help control download times. If you have more than one zipped folder, name them in this manner: To zip files place all your elements and a TOU inside a folder, then zip that folder. This is automatically creates a folder containing your files in whatever folder the user unzips to. Please submit only ZIP files, do NOT submit RAR files.Your MS username_DC#_folderletter There are many ways to compress (zip) a folder. You can use a program such as WINZIP or, if you are on a Windows operating system, there is a utility built into Windows that you can use.
Uploading Submissions: Effective June 15, 2017 -- We will be utilizing Dropbox to collect submissions, so you will need a free, personal Dropbox account (dropbox.com). When you are ready to submit your items, upload your zipped folder(s) to your personal Dropbox. After you have the folder(s) uploaded, navigate to them in your Dropbox account and select "share" next to the desired folder. Choose "create a link" and then "copy link". Paste that link into a MouseScrappers PM to me, frogfish (Christina), and send. Note: if your submission includes more than one zipped folder, you must share the link to each individual zipped folder. Please let me know if you have any questions or problems. Disclaimer: This kit will NOT be sold in the MouseScrappers store. The only way to get it is to participate! Every month you participate in this challenge, you will receive the resulting design challenge collaboration kit (for that month) free of charge, but will receive no compensation (monetary or otherwise) for your submission to the challenge. Copyright of your submission remains with you. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. You DON'T have to be a designer; anyone can do this! The more people who participate, the bigger the monthly kit will be!

I am going to try and participate this month, but I have no idea what. I am leaning towards Haunted Mansion, but I am still very uncertain. The inspiration picture is "haunting".

Hello,
I've never participated in one of these before and never ever designed something before but I'm hoping to join in. I have been working on a star wars kit just to see if it was even something I was able to do before signing on for anything. So I would like to join in.. and do a star wars kit. |
