Countdown Graphics announcement

[MaryAnne]

I hope you all saw the post about the Countdown Graphics.

I realized the Announcements thread allows no replies so I thought I would add one here so I can get a vague idea of who (if anyone) might be interested in this.

Do let me know!

[MandyNi0]

I would be interested Mary Anne, only problem is I haven't got into animation, how do you place the clock on there?

Mandy

[Kel_eh]

I am interested too! Even have my 295x50 canvas set up...
*off to play*

Mandy, Im presuming you dont need to add the clock, that is all added when the 'code' bit is set up by the user, we only need to design the 'background' to display the countdown clock on.

[Clare]

MaryAnne, I have a couple of questions - should they be gifs or jpgs? (or either?) and can they have animated decorative elements or do they need to be static? thanks :)

oooh and - is the colour of the text used to make the clock changeable to white so we can use a darker BG or must we assume text will be black?

[mmmbisto]

This sounds like fun :) I'd certainly give it a try.

:lol: bit interested in this then Claire? :D

:rolleyes: business head on :lol:

[mmmbisto]

Lol, yes - you never know unless you ask!

Do we have a dealine to do this by? Off on holiday on Friday :) (not rubbing it in or anything lol!) :lol:

[MaryAnne]

I guess I will need to ask Smax some of those questions to be sure. Yes, the animated countdown is in the programming and all you need to do is the background, but I'm not sure about dark backgrounds. I think either GIFs or JPGs are ok but I'll check.

I was thinking a deadline of 1 December for the samples with the final products all due by the end of December. I'll speak to Smax and see what time he needs to implement them and update the announcement.

Sounds like fun, I'd like to have a go but new to annimation so should be great to learn something new.

I have totally missed the announcement, can anyone point me in the right direction? :unsure:

Bridget what were you doing on the PC at 5.57am!!:blink::lol:

[djaye]

Thanks Bridget
There isn't any actualy animation involved, just a background design then?...like Clare I would like to know if we can use animated elements too?

[MaryAnne]

No, no animation as far as I am aware. This is on my "ask Smax" list!

[SMAX]

They need to be JPG not GIF so no animation.

The text colours we can use can include white so a dark background is fine to use.

[MaryAnne]

BTT :)

The samples are starting to come in.....

[MaryAnne]

BTT ladies -- I'm hoping for another few entries!!

[Kel_eh]

I really want to send you some, but it can't be until lateish this evening. How late is too late?

Oh, is the deadline today? I wanted to try but I have so much else demanding my attention as well it's hard to find 5 mins to indulge myself.

[Lily_My_Lovely]

No the deadline is December the 5th... I think

[ShezB]

Thanks Lil, I went back and checked and you're right, it is the 5th. I guess I know what I'll be playing with this weekend then. :)

[Kel_eh]

Excellent - me too!

[MaryAnne]

I'm a little worried that if I have been sent these they have not arrived. If yousent them, can you let me know by posting here? My Spam filter is a bit overactive :)

Today is the deadline!

[ShezB]

MA, sorry about that. I've not had a chance to even start on these. I'm sure you have loads of fabby ones though without mine :)
