[ANNC] Want to help pimp 'Space on 'Spot? (Update 06/19)

Post by STrRedWolf »

Occasonally, some of the 'Spot folk can't make a deadline in their newsbox. So, on one occason, I jumped at a chance to pimp 'Space.

My prelim graphic (a screenshot of the new front page, it's live, yeah!) doesn't go too well -- and thus, as some of the 'Spotters suggested, having artists contribute for a "Sampling" of 'Space, to trully see what folks are missing. "Good idea. I'll toss it to the rabble." I said.

So here's your chance to pimp 'Space on 'Spot. Call it, KeenSpace in 30 Seconds.
  • Your image needs to be 165x300 (this is the size of their newsbox).
  • NO ANIMATION We'll be flipping through 'em a bit fast (like 1 per sec). I may flash animate this. UPDATE: Don't include alot of text! At most, you want your comic's title.
  • Your best work, please!!! I will be looking for the best presentation. If your work looks like it screams to be 'Spotted, you'll more than likely to have your image used.
  • G-Rated work only. We need to be in line with 'Spot's Newsbox standards.
  • You may submit more than one, but no more than four, good images.
There is no "top X will get in" limit. If I get a fifty good ones, they'll be like two or three newsboxes to send to Chris. There is the request to get them in ASAP. Submit your GIF, JPG, or PNG entries to spaceonspot (at) stalag99 (dot) net.

Now, I cannot garuntee that we will be scheduled for a date in 'Spot's newsbox. Chris controlls the 'Spot newsbox, not I, Kisai, Teri, Gav, nor Nate. He may use these as filler incase someone can't make the date. There's no telling what's in his mind, save for Superosity and "must loose weight." :)

So, who's up to pimp 'Space?

It's welcome that. Is just expanding the newsbox pic we have okay or will we need something new?

2. They change thir newsboxes daily. If I remember well. Yarpsdat they changed this. But back when I was more on spot, they used to display one add for all sites on particular day and in a particular order, so that every comic gets the same add exposition.



Anyway, I'm so in!

1. Yes, you may make a G rated part of a MA/R rated comic. However, you must really make it clean, because folks have imagination too. Bars over naughty bits isn't going to cut it.

2. 'Spotters are scheduled (they have their own forum, something I'd like to try here), but as I said, sometimes they miss the deadline.

Hopefully this doesn't count as "a lot of text". :P

I noticed the Keenspace newsbox ad on Keenspot. Ever since it was up, my hits have tripled. Just kidding. Anyway, you said the submitted ads might be cycled through. How? If a GIF is used, the submitted JPG images will not look the same. I am guessing some PHP/HTML/Flash tomfoolery.

It's ether GIF run through GIMP, or Flash. I have to ask Chris about that, because Flash has been done before by Alan (SSDD). Maybe I can drag him in here...

And yes, there's my prelim graphic for this weekend. Shoddy work, isn't it? Guess why I'd like folks to help out with this? :)
