Graphic Requests area?
 

Whatever happened to the graphics Requests area? I'm quite sure (Pre brad era) that there was a graphics requests area here where members who lack the ability to request images from here.

Maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea in giving such an area the chance instead of graphic requests cluttering the Design and Graphics Discussions area and possibly implementing Graphic Requests subforum to Design and Graphics Discussions. Personally, I think it would be quite populour and enduce more interactivity between the advanced graphic members and members who lack the ability to design.

Sounds like a good idea two me.

same. but not me two. more like me too ;)

:rolleyes:

Yes I'd like this too, I'm thinking of asking for some rank images, and maybe offer a 10 bucks donation for it.

What's the purpose of having a styles section, if the request for styles sets aren't there? I find that I spend more time at the coder's section about style requests, than in it's proper section (which is basically a place to upload ready-made icons/styles).

XHTML/CSS edits really do need to be in the styles section, too. Scripting is the coders' domain; elements and style, designers.

I agree with this idea 10x!

I think this would be a great opportunity for the community for staff to give back the graphic requests (as a dedicated area) and I'm sure there are many designers who would be willing to take on free requests aswell as many members who would benefit.

I have a set of guidelines and a pixel guide which I wrote/designed that would help as a sticky topic (or maybe a staff member can revise it if needed) and paste it under their name but your more than welcome if this thread is remotely being entertained.

Just to be clear here, you are talking about a forum similar to the "Modification not available" forum, but for style/graphic requests ?

No. I am referring to an area for anyone to request images (mainly for their vbulletin boards) which is a free requesting area. This area would not be for requesting images that are found in the vbulletin.org database because the images located in that area are pre-made. requests here would be for images that could range from forum icons to logos, signatures and so forth. Or maybe an image that someone specifically wants to complement a certain style.

For example, I don't like a set of buttons that a styler implemented on a style so I would post a request (all free) for a set of buttons whilst filling out all the info so someone can come along and fill my request.

I suppose you could expand this to style requests though I doubt many people will have the time to create full blown styles and I doubt this would work out in the long term. Keep it simple, with image requests were members can request for images like buttons, icons signatures etc and before long the area will become very populour, self sustaining and require minimal moderation by the staff because I feel that many designers would be happy to help out and fill requests.

edit; At this time members cannot post for requests in the image database (and I feel they never should) because this is primarly a release area and people basically get what contributors post.
