QUESTIONS ANSWERED:



Q. Is the macromedia stuff all that you can win for example do runners up get pens, t-shirst etc etc
A. This particular contest does not include any "Swag" prizes. Only the two software packages are up for grabs!

Q. So we can make anything like banners, skins, wallpapers, etc... as long as it's about P2L?
A. Exactly... we want to offer the best entries later on in our media area that we're designing.

Q. would a psd of the p2l logo be avaliable for download so users could use it for their entries?
A. There isn't one actually lol! Long story, but you can just copy the one from our site and cut around it. I'll see what I can offer tonight... keep your eye on this topic for an update.

Q. By the way you said it must have to do something with p2l does this also includes to the blue/green color scheme?
A. Well it probably should if you're going for a P2L Theme, but that's really up to you.

Q. Can you please rate for us what you are intersted in more: skins, 3D Models, Logos, Banners, Affiliate Icons etc...?
A. Well I can't speak for the rest of the staff (We will all be voting on the entries), but I personally would love to see a quality Winamp Skin submitted. I change skins weekly so I'm a bit of a fanatic <3

Q. I have a question. Should you include your .psd if you make it in photoshop?
A. It's not really necessary but we'd appreciate it if we need to edit something for the media center.

Q. What font is the pixel2life banner at the top?
A. Impact

Q. How will the entries be judged?
A. Staff will be voting on the entries. We'll start off by voting for the top 5, then have a final vote on those 5.

Q. Do we have to submit everything at one time or can we submit as we finish each one?
A. Doesn't matter in the slightest.

Q. how many things can you enter, say if you wanted to enter a banner, 3D and wallpaper could you enter all 3 of them?
A. Yes - See the "What" portion of the announcement.

Q. if I included the PSD file to so you guys can change the color will my entry be based as is or how it potentially could look with a tiny bit of editing?
A. It will be judged on what you deliver, not how "it could look".

Q. Can i make a skin for this game?
A. You can make anything your heart desires as long as it's in a digital format and has a Pixel2life theme to it.

Q. well i guess i have to "re-submit" my t-shirt and wallpaper. am I allowed to do that?
A. Yes, it will count as an additional entry

Q. I though Macromedia was bought by Adobe?
A. They own the company called Macromedia. If I buy Disney World, chances are I won't call it something else.

Q. If I submit an swf, do you want me to include the fla?
A. Yes please. Just zip it all up together and email it in!

Q. This can be absolutely anything right?
A. Absolutely.

Q. How big does the wallpaper have to be?
A. If you decide to create a wallpaper for your entry, it can be whatever size you like. You should probably give some serious thought to designing a version for every major resolution.

Q. Ok then. What do you mean by icons aswell?
A. You can create P2L icons... as in the icons on your desktop for your shortcuts and such.

Q. Can I do a *cough* uprated *cough* website design of P2L Pwetty pwease?
A. Sorry, that's not considered media that users can use.

Q. Along with creating a banner, would it be okay to create a few mascot designs for P2L?
A. Absolutely... I've been trying to come up with an official mascot for quite awhile.

If you don't see your question(s) answered here, it's because it's already part of the announcement and you just need to re-read it :hi:

I'll update this section as I get time :)

i think the bigger the better to be honest, if you spend two minutes on a 88x31 then its not worth trying, on the other hand if alot of effort is given to your entry then it'll be higher up in the ranking :)

Sounds awesome! Great prizes. I might enter, although I most likely have no chance at winning.

Lol, it's funny that most of the people who have replied to this look like good designers just by looking at their sigs :).
