Want your design on TORn?

Can't Post

When we redesigned TORn a few months ago, we did so with the intention of being able to swap out designs with ease. To that end, we were hoping to have Ringer submitted designs that we could occasionally feature. If you are handy with Photoshop/Illustrator and have some free time, we'd love to see what you come up with! The following link will download a .zip file that contains our official logo and a Photoshop file of the site template. The Photoshop file has a layer included that should make the designing process a bit easy. If you don't know how to handle the Photoshop file, chances are you won't be able to submit a design! But for those of you who do, give your best shot and send it to me at calisuri@theonering.net. Please include your nickname, the source of the assets (original imagery) you used and if you would like to have your email/website displayed. The TORn staff will choose the best entries and randomly post them on the site. Have fun! [Download the Assets]

For some reason I cannot open the TORN logo in Photoshop (I think I'm using 5.0) it's telling me: Could not open the document because the parser module cannot parse the file. I've never worked with a eps file before. Although I'm opening (or attempting to) it properly according to the help files. Any suggestions? -Rabittooth

That looks awesome to me, though I'm not the final judge; Calisuri is. I'll make sure he's aware of this post and answers you here on via email.

First User Submitted Skin Posted

A few weeks back we asked Ringers to submit designs to skin TheOneRing.net. Since then we've had received a lot of wonderful artwork from all parts of the world. We plan on featuring one design every few weeks, so if you submitted something, please be patient! Our first skin comes from Phil Dragash. Among the many designs Phil submitted, this 'Aragorn' skin based on stills from The Lord of the Rings films, really stood out. (We'll be seeing more of Phil's skins in the coming weeks as there are many great ones) If you like this theme, please click on the 'discuss' link below to leave your feedback. If you are interested in submitting your own design for TORn, please check out our original request by clicking on the following link. Thanks! [Submitting Designs]

Good job. Only problem is I won't be able to read the news because the gorgeous Viggo is too distracting.

Wow, much thanks to all of you who gave me such compliments to the skin I made. Honestly, I have never received so many nice comments on a work of mine that I have on the internet. Yes, it's kind of sad... I've sent quite a bunch (and still am making more ) designs for later! Again thanks! This is my first forum post too! Woo!

I'm liking your skin a lot. The colour combination is beautifully balmy and highlights Aragorn well, being set against an evening in Gondor, separated by the golden TORn title and framed by Anduril. Very well thought out and conceived. Are you a graphic design artist or something?

Not that I don't like the new one, its very nice, but I do prefer the old one. Will you be setting up a way for users to be able to pick which layout they prefer?

Takes a bit of technical prowess that we have to research a bit - but that was intended to be the original option

user-submitted skins are a GREAT addition to the boards! Sorry, a bit new here, but are ya'll still accepting submissions? the conversations seem to have stopped earlier this year, but I'd love to jump on the bandwagon - sorry i missed the first!
Ouch. Fell off the planet. What's a girl gotta do to get some magic rope around here?

I'd love to have a play with the design but can't seem to access the asset files. Maybe just temporary downtime, I'll try again later. sorry, I'm a complete newbie to these boards (though have been following TORN for ages, but for some reason never signed up). I was also wondering if there's a place for newbies to introduce themselves. (this of course is ENTIRELY off topic. How's that for a first post. )

Sure- it's at the top of the off-topic forums (a sticky) here. (ah- sorry, can't help with the asset files question! I don't really know much about that) Welcome to TORn, glad you signed up, and hope you enjoy it here!! (I do!) -L

What if we found a picture/photo on the internet that would make a great layout? Would that still be eligible?
