Design Challenge #11 - June/July 2013
Color Swatch for Design Challenge #11 - June/July 2013
We are going to make this a 2 month challenge. Hopefully we'll get a lot of people joining in with the extra time! Hex Codes: #ffd67e, #d8c4e0, #bee6e5, #7ca6d8, #01a7a3, #f35d2b Don't forget that in addition to the above colors, you may also use these neutral colors: black, white, shades of gray, brown, silver and gold. The colors in this swatch came from the Typhoon Lagoon logo and have a summer/beach feel so I thought it the perfect time to bring this swatch out. Although the colors came from Typhoon Lagoon, you don't have to base your mini on that or summer/beach for that matter. Anything goes! Just remember that you can't use the copyrighted/trademarked words or images that are associated with Typhoon Lagoon if you do decide to make that your theme. Deadline - Friday, July 26 (by 11:59pm CST) Reveal and Blog Hop on Friday, August 2. This kit will not be sold in the MouseScrappers store. The only way to get it is to participate in the Design Challenge. 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: larkd Template 2: bonham0731 We will also need someone to create a charm for the DC PP charm bracelet. The charm should use the colors from or follow the current month's theme. Send me a PM if you are interested. Charm: 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: This kit will not be sold in the MouseScrappers store. The only way to get it is to participate! 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. 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!

No, you don't have to use all of the colors, you just can't use colors that aren't included in the swatch (although you can use black, white, all shades of grey, brown, silver, and gold even if they aren't part of the swatch).

I've never designed anything before, but I would love to submit a template to get me started.
