I didn't use a rendered background either. That's what made my changes so tricky. Everything is on it's own layers (the lightning, the glows, keylines, etc). No big deal though. You have to be prepared for that. It happens quite often where you think you're finished and then someone requests changes. You have to be able to accommodate that.trucz wrote:lol i was so lucky i didn't use a rendered background though i had to flip the text and some graphics as well as reposition some stuff. good luck with the editing.
Are you 100% sure?DMB2000uk wrote:Hi stefandent,stefandent wrote:Excuse me,admin.Why are people fliping the originaly posted shape of die cut?I don't know what is right now?
With the original template HIS sent us, it was mistakenly the wrong way round. This meant that that if your design had text, when the design was applied to the graphics card and installed into a case, the text would be upside-down.
You can choose to flip your design now, or wait to see if you've won and flip the design then.
It won't affect judging if you've used the upside down template or not.

I bought a new Thermaltake Armor case, the one with the liquid cooling system integrated in it. I read a few people talking about it here and saying positive stuff. Gonna let everyone how it all turned out in a couple of days - i should be receiving it tomorrow.

OK good! I used my own photos and incorporated one of the AMD dragons. I thought all of this was explained in the first few posts. About what we could and could not use.Apoptosis wrote:images from the sponsors - yesexpertoc wrote:wait, we can use logos / copy righted images from the sponsors (such as the amd dragon) right?
Yes, here in this forum.artupato wrote:where to post the final entry again? here in the thread?

I though so too. The contest rules sayshamrok3 wrote:I sorta just assumed it was all supposed to be original artwork... Will flip my image today. What are the chances that one person got the template right...
Royalty free images may come with a license that allows for their use but they are not copyright free (those would be public domain images) Also rule 9 says we are giving AMD/HIS/legit reviews the rights to our designs. This would be distributing to a third party and is a real grey area even with "altered" images. Really though I felt the rules were there as much to make this about original artwork as much as about avoiding legal issues.Definition: Clip art, images, graphics, photographs, art, music and other created content which may be offered to the public or individuals (normally for a specified amount of money) to be used in specified ways (terms of usage).

There are a couple that had theirs right way round, thats what got the whole "yours is backwards" "no yours is" debate.shamrok3 wrote:I sorta just assumed it was all supposed to be original artwork... Will flip my image today. What are the chances that one person got the template right...
That looks at least promising, you better not let us down !bubba wrote:There are a couple that had theirs right way round, thats what got the whole "yours is backwards" "no yours is" debate.shamrok3 wrote:I sorta just assumed it was all supposed to be original artwork...

As for original art, I had originally had a pin-up style artwork, but with the comment early on about cards showing up in plain brown wrappers and the fact I figured I wouldn't get an ok to use the girls likeness I went a different route.
I'm still working on mine, hope to have it done this weekend, nothing like waiting to the last minute
