    Really? headscratch.gif That's odd, I've got all kinds of smugmug stuff at my smugmug contest cafe press site. http://www.cafepress.com/MLSmugmugShop
    Y'all don't want to hear me, you just want to dance.

    What are your file names?
    I'm not sure why I kept getting that message!

    I'll just do the art and then e-mail Ben with the samples. Of course, after seeing Gus's work I don't think I have a chance! :-)

    Quick question, If we send an email with a link to our gallery,

    If we add more to the gallery after sending the email, will that be picked up on? or will we have to send a 2nd email?

    Ben


    I should see the additions, but it wouldn't hurt to fire me another email just in case. :)

    Surely you have the same files on your home computer...upload from those files...it may have to do with your copyright-watermark .... those ar protected files and cafe press will pick up on that....

    I am keeping separate files for challenges and other such needs for this reason....

    Time's running out
    I'd better get busy this week with some design work.

    I'll just work in photoshop and e-mail to Ben, or set up a gallery. I copied the templates and art work, so all I need are some creative ideas.

    I know I can't even begin to match Gus's wild and crazy (and excellent) designs though!

    Sigh!

    It has the smugmug logo (with smuggy) on front, and www.smugmug.com on the back. Pretty straightforward currently.

    TIP: you can view the CSS and it will tell you
    TIP: you can open photoshop, and an image - any image, then drag your eyedropper right to the webpage (or any other window) and the dropper will sample the color thumb.gif

    thx andy. k, so can we make a design that isn't very mainstream? tasteful attitude? any problem with a curseword showing up in some text or should we adhere to public PCness?

    Unfortunately, at the moment, we don't have any sort of storefront for those. We didn't like the quality of the CafePress hats, so we had these made from another vendor.

    only a few days left! The 30th is the last day to enter, and I am hoping we can wrap up voting on Halloween so we can announce that at some point on Halloween.

    So we are allowed to make more than one entry right? I've got a few ideas that I'm going to shoot over in a couple of days.

    Another question. Are you picking the winners based off of the overall design, and then you will talk to the winners about the exact specifics of the design, or is the design that is submitted automatically the exact image that will appear on the product? The reason I'm wondering is because what if the judges like an idea, but would change one thing about it, like resizing the text or something. Would it still have a shot at being chosen and then the text size being changed after talking to the winner?

    Yes, you can submit more than one entry. Though get cracking, as the contest ends on Monday!

    If we happened to think a particular design was the best, but needed some minor tweaking... I suspect we would choose that design, and communicate with the creator.
