Web Designers Hangout

I noticed that we don't communicate at all, unlike "other" designers. Sometimes we got controversial entries and contests that we might feel that we want to discuss. Usually, Designer Court is no good for us, since most of our copying incidents are almost visible, such as copying a look or feel!
So, if you find your self in such places, come here please and let out!
P.S. I experienced with you nothing but respect and creativity.

nice idea, sorry that I am responding so late. I have been busy

I think it's nice to know us better, we all spend so much time on this site
![:)](https://mirror.designcontest.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
About copying incidents I don't want to talk about it too much, I don't want to waste my energy on those designers. However, in the end the only thing that matters is the CH reaction which in my case was fair.
So, tell me about libra-thing nickname. How it came to this?

I occasionally read daily horoscopes, not my thing. But I'm in love with my sign

But I wonder how different culture receive such names. An African girl told me lately that it feels funny (like a joke) and even African. Here, it seems funny but strong and mysterious. How do you receive it?
Funny story (kind of): I was silver on Backyard harvest logo contest. And CH told me that the website silver went to the business card winner. That where the theme came from. I checked the business card contest back then and I thought of incorporating that theme, but didn't sync enough to execute.

Nice thing about "zibanu". When I first read your nickname I have been thinking about Zanzibar, the place where Freddy Mercury was born. So something African too

That is a golden design of yours indeed, congrats! Taking advantage of my absence
![:D](https://mirror.designcontest.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
So, I'm officially African

"Did he say what took him so long to decide?" Does he looks like a talker to you?

I imagined something back then, and I need your opinion on this: What if he asked me to prepare the other two pages (blog and resources). The Brief and the early comments of his, clearly stated to deliver four pages, What do you think?
Scorpio then, secretive and steady ha! Attractive totem/totems. As far as I know and I'm not versed in, Scorpio is the only sign that has other totems which are, besides to the scorpion, the grey lizard and the phoenix.

Libra's totem was once ... scorpion claws instead of the scales. Those claws must be in perfect balance I guess! Maybe that's why Scorpio's totem was not the scorpion at some time!

You had 3 dreaming days

I believe you, I remember that you have 12 pages for weintership

Don't rush

I don't think that you will have to design the other 2 pages, now that the contest it's over. Maybe he forgot, not a surprise considering how long it was this contest. But if he ask you I think you should do it. It was part of the prize money.
I am very sleepy right now... I don't know what I'm writing here, so see you tomorrow.
Bye-bye!

Take all the designers! Thanks for the suggestion! I'll take them all. But since you are doin' great your self; so how about I do the trip and you do the hosting for all designers
![:D](https://mirror.designcontest.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Yes I'm doing 12 pages .. but for another one
![:cool:](https://mirror.designcontest.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)
I don't think Backyard Harvest CH forgot about the rest; He might was on hurry after all. I was going to remind him actually, but the workload told me to shut up
![:(](https://mirror.designcontest.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/frown.gif)
Have you been on website 1-on-1?
Go get 'em, Scorpio!

sorry for my late answer, everyday I remember that I have to write you, but somehow I can't find time.
First, welcome back

For what contest do you have to do 12 pages (for Viitre?)
No, I didn't have a 1-on-1 project, even I have been asked about it several times. You? And if it's yes, how is it?
Tell me please, because you are older here, how a designer can be banned?
Thanks!

Let's never worry about late replays; we all on the same page here
![:)](https://mirror.designcontest.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Thank you! but not a coming back really, not yet at least! I just needed to do something for few hours other than Viitre (Viitre's people are great, one of the best CH to work with, though). I checked, and Unique was the only suitable choice, because it was close to close time! I read a public comment that they're on final tuning with some designs (you), but I entered anyway. When I got second on the first entry, I said ramsro will be nervous now
![:cool:](https://mirror.designcontest.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)
I asked you about 1-on-1 to learn from your experience. Sometimes you have to do a project; sometimes it's a part of the deal from the beginning/Brief (weinternships), sometimes I find my self obliged to continue what I started with (homepage), and sometimes I love to do a complete site (Viitre).
To complete a site, it seems easy at the beginning (you already set "header", "footer", look, fonts, colors ...), but then some days become living hell. For example, I'm stuck with cart check for two days now. The cart there needs to be like the template to function correctly, and It's not that great look template. So, I'm struggling with making it look good within the rules. But at the end, It's great experience to learn from. We already spent two weeks now. You need to dedicate your full time before such projects, I think.
About banning; From what I learned, It basically comes from reaching certain infraction points limits (80 maybe). Infractions came from several behaviors; basically from copying and using unlicensed stocks (in logo contests especially), and delays in delivering source files (in any finalization; 24h if no modifications were requested). There are other things also you can find in help and forums. Just make sure your sources are ready and there's nothing else to worry about.
Have a great day!

Good ideas with your cart page! I'm sure we will find something. It must be similar with other inner pages. And just send it to the CH, sometimes when you work a lot to a page, you start not seeing it with cold (or good) eyes. But perhaps Ch will love it, or at least he can give you advises.
Have a great day too and a lot of inspiration!

Yes we get some quiet weeks here. It usually irritates me, but I need it and I hope it lasts for another week, at least
![:p](https://mirror.designcontest.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
I finished Viirte, but WeInternship didn't return yet, and I don't mind it for this month!
Let's relax and recharge for the next round

Did you got the Sport website? I'm not sure with the hidden finalizations and all. Congrats then!
How the iPad app design experience was for you? I was invited in the last week and thought the CH didn't like what he already got, I was wrong, I guess.
Take care

Yes, thank you for the Sport website.
About the iPad...yes... was very, very interesting. The CH was ok because he gave feedback right away and many advises, but he was very hard to pleased. I really can wait to see the winning design

I'll keep an eye on the Sport website to see yours.
Thanks for the iPad info, I was aiming also to know your technical experience comparing with web design. But I think the app (determined) structure and dimension (that's close to the web) were not good measurement.
Do you code? I think you do at least html, css, and java; right? Maybe I'm seeking an advice or something, since I'm stopping graphic to learn "coding" for a while; I'll come back as soon as possible to compete with you
