Bonus Round 0: Graphics

[sportsfest_mods]

As is tradition, we’re starting off the inaugural SportsFest18 with a graphics round. Make graphics for other teams to use during the event!

This bonus round will be open until Friday, June 15th at 11:59 PM PT.

This Round is CLOSED

(Thanks to SASO for the following explanation. This entire post was adapted from their previous BR0s!)

Rules

Create a set of 2-6 icons or 1-3 banners (or a combo) for any qualifying team that’s not your own (including Grandstand!) For your convenience, here’s the team roster and a list of Dreamwidth team communities.

No NSFW fills will be accepted for this Bonus Round. NSFW fills will be submittable for other bonus rounds!

You may only create one set of graphics for any given team; however, it’s fine if you and your teammates create graphics for the same team. For example, you personally can only create one fill for a hypothetical Team Karasuno First Years, but your teammates are still free to decide to make Team Karasuno First Years graphics.

You can use: official series art (screencaps, manga pages, artbook/magazine illustrations, etc.), fanart (ONLY fanart that you have permission to use), quotes, lyrics, gifs (ONLY gifs that you have permission to use)...or any other medium.

Upload them somewhere (such as Imgur, PostImage, or TinyPic) and post here with the images themselves or a link to them.

If/when your team receives a gift you should thank the gifter. You don't have to use the gifts if you don't want to. If your team is in need of icons or banners, feel free to request them!

Scoring

Each fill is worth 5 points, with a maximum of 75 points.

All Bonus Round 0 fills will be BONUS POINTS. The recommended workload to reach each medal threshold will no longer require participation in Bonus Round 0. Participation in BR0 will just make it a little easier to get a medal.

Posting & Format

Bonus Rounds all take place in the comments of their respective posts! Format your past as follows:

FILL: TEAM [YOUR TEAM] for [GIFT TEAM], [RATING]

YOUR TEAM = the name of your team

GIFT TEAM = the team you're giving the gift to

RATING = maturity rating of the piece (either G or T, no M or E for this round)

If you need a list of official teams, here’s the team roster.

For more information on ratings, check out this page from Archive of Our Own.

For more information on required and optional tags, please refer to this post.

You may copy and paste the text area below to post your fill!

(Please delete all text in parentheses as you go. LEAVE THE HEADER HTML ALONE or the bonus round scoring program can't parse your comment. Don't forget a comment subject!) <strong>Major Tags:</strong> (https://sportsfest.dreamwidth.org/3623.html, when applicable; otherwise write "None".) <strong>Other Tags:</strong> (anything else that you feel requires tagging; can include jokey tumblr-style tags here; may also pull from the "Additional Tags" list from the URL above, if applicable; otherwise, write "None" here.) (Place any author/artist's notes BEFORE the asterisks. Leave the asterisks alone or you may not get points!) *** (Place your fill here. You can use HTML. To place images in your comment, use this code: <img src="LINK TO YOUR IMAGE" alt="DESCRIPTION OF YOUR IMAGE"/>.)

Resources

Pixlr - an online (no download necessary) image editing program. A great place to start if you're on an older computer or one that's low on hard drive space.

GIMP - Despite its unfortunate name, GIMP is an excellent free image editing program.

Lost and Taken - A collection of high resolution textures.

Font Squirrel, Lost Type Foundry, and League of Moveable Type - Free high quality font resources. They're all hand-picked or created by professional graphic designers.

Icon-Extras - A resource for icon tutorials and the like. Also features textures, brushes, bases etc. that are particularly good for icons (rather than the all-purpose textures at Lost and Taken).

Resource Cards - This site links to tons of free online resources, everything from fonts to icons to photoshop templates.

Remember: Dreamwidth icons are 100x100, and can have a maximum filesize of 40 kb.

Banners are typically around 150-400px tall and 400-800px wide. This is pretty flexible, though.

Questions

If you have any questions, feel free to contact the mods.

One banner, two icons. Found the base image for the banner by searching 'gay pulp'- it's for "Abnormals Anonymous" by Stella Gray

This is killing me I just. These look so wonderful. ;_;
I love the detail in the text on the banner to make it cool and old-timey. THey're the poly spy team I've always wanted. Or maybe they're just an upper class old-timey poly couple with a washing machine in their living room. I love both.

And I love how sleek and official the icons look. They also give me like a retro pool vibe? That I totally love and respect. Also TRIPLE THREAT hell yess. Thank you!!

i'm glad you like them! I had fun trying to get the text to match the original. And i couldn't find a summary of the original book, which means both your ideas are equally plausible (as well as equally delightful).
