Design Challenge #18 - September/October 2014 - COLORS
Color Swatch for Design Challenge #18 - September/October 2014
Hex Codes: #fcd843, #f78d2a, #8284c0, #fcd6d7, #dd3526, #af4c81 This will be a two month challenge. Deadline - Friday, October 31 (by 11:59pm CST) Reveal and Blog Hop on Friday, November 14. This time there will be two weeks between the submission due date and the reveal/blog hop to give you and the CT some time to do sample layouts before the kit goes in the MS store. As you are planning your contribution, please look through the things others are making so the kit doesn't have a lot of duplicate items. We want this kit to have tons of variety! Try something new, learn a new technique, and stretch your boundaries a little! Check out this thread for resources, tutorials, tips, and tricks for designers. We would like to include two templates in this kit. A PhotoShop template with at least 25 layers will fulfill the minimum submission requirement. You should submit both a layered PhotoShop document and untrimmed PNG files named 1,2,3,4,5,etc. The first two people to send me a PM indicating a desire to create a template for this month’s challenge will be listed below. Template 1: frogfish Template 2: bonham0731 Submission Guidelines:
IMPORTANT: You may NOT include:
The following website has a searchable database where you can look to see if a name/phrase is trademarked: http://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/index.jsp *** If there are any questions about minimum requirements or copyright infringement, please ask. *** Files and Zipped Folder(s): Naming your files:Your MS username_DC#_element type_descriptionPaper Example: MMouse_DC50_paper_green.jpg Naming your folder(s):If your username is longer than 8 characters, please use an abbreviation. Avoid using spaces anywhere in the file/folder name. If you design under a different name, you may use that name instead of your MouseScrappers name.Your MS username_DC# Please limit the size of each zipped folder to 50mb. If your submission is larger than 50 mb, please split it into separate zipped folders to help control download times. If you have more than one zipped folder, name them in this manner: To zip files place all your elements and a TOU inside a folder, then zip that folder. This is automatically creates a folder containing your files in whatever folder the user unzips to.Your MS username_DC#_folderletter There are many ways to compress (zip) a folder. You can use a program such as WINZIP/WINRAR or, if you are on a Windows operating system, there is a utility built into Windows that you can use.
Uploading Submissions: We will be utilizing DropITtoME to collect submissions this month. When you are ready to submit you items, send frogfish (Christina) a PM for the link and password. Don't worry, it's super easy and I will receive your submission immediately (no waiting to download). Disclaimer: The completed kit will be added to the MouseScrappers store for anyone to purchase. All proceeds from the sale of the kit will be used to keep MouseScrappers running. Every month you participate in this challenge, you will receive the resulting design challenge collaboration kit (for that month) free of charge, but will receive no compensation (monetary or otherwise) for your submission to the challenge or for the sale of the collaboration kit. Any and all proceeds from the sale of the completed kit go to MouseScrappers. Copyright of your submission remains with you. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. You DON'T have to be a designer; anyone can do this! The more people who participate, the bigger the monthly kit will be!

I really see Winnie the Pooh and Friends in this swatch...
It would be perfect for the Crystal Palace character encounters!!! What do you see? Please make sure that your preview images follow the above guidelines (they should be 600x600 pixels at 72 dpi) and note the date for the reveal/blog hop (two weeks after the submission due date to give you and the CT time to create sample layouts). I'm going sign myself up for a template this time It has been sooooooo long since I've joined in the design challenge as a participant and I need to get back in the swing of things! No time like the present, right?

I have a question about adding elements of neutral colors, and was wondering if it is ok to add some green foliage?

So glad it's another two month challenge! I'll do a minikit. Hmm, have no idea where I'm going with this yet. I was thinking princess-y, but I think Murmer's already doing that. Have to think some more...
Debbie - are you looking for maybe a beginner's designer course? I've got a couple of tutorials I really like that I can send your way, if that's what you're interested in.
