OK you design guru's, lets do something a bit different...how about pass the site design around...like a design ring of sorts...The idea in mind here is that we design a site revolving around everybodies hobbies here at Talk...
Could be graphics, sewing, woodworking, cooking, gardening...etc., and... slowly but surely design a set of sites, I say set, because those who are keen in participating can use any and all elements/ materials for thier version of this site...hosting such themselves, and or submit worx for others to put into thier site...each individuals site is to have a different skin and layout, while the contents are to each be the same, and or as close as possible...This way the end viewers can choose the look and feel (skin) they wish to view from, and enjoy the many worx contributed by each and all participants, while the site hosts and authors can get a great glimpse as to the many different variations that can be created from the same elements...
Each site must contain a site map which will contain links to each individual site participating, as well, info regarding individual elements created by other participants...in otherwords, those of you who choose not to host site versions, are also encouraged to contribute content for these sites...also, the content created for the sites when posted up on the sites, must have tool tips indicating the creator in the case of graphics, text articles of course will have the authors name along with...
So, let's get started...
Needed to start would be the site's name and logo...and a few submissions...and each take it from there...
Post your ideas for the name along with logo examples here, or in the gallery, and after there are at least five submitted, then we will do a poll, having everyone here at talk voting for the one most liked...and just like survivor, when someone is voted off, no aurguments...just accept the winning element and move on to the next stage...working with it... [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]
U-Build It... is my submmision for a name ( works with the hobby theme as well as the sites and contents )and I will be attempting a logo right away....anyone else can get involved with designing a logo for this name as well...or come up with a different one of course...once the submmisions are in and the vote is done, the rest is shear fun...contributing worx and watching the sites and variations grow...
We will each and all stand to learn much from this type of an experiment, and hopefully have a blast doing so...so how about it?

Decided to put my 2 cents in on this...

I really don't get the concept of what you're trying to do but here's my stab at a logo.
PS-Randy, interesting how you came up with almost the exact same concept as gidgit.

Just thought I'd come up with a more original idea than my last...
This is a great idea Gidgit... Hope it catches on!
"Wherever you go, there you are."

hey hey, right on you guys...
Randy Allen, I hope that this idea takes off as well [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img] nice worx...
Andy... I was hoping to create a challenge that not only stayed as a challenge, but actually built it's self from there...
Look at it this way... Here at Talk, or on any other graphic forum, people create graphics for the moment...a few days later, and voila, the thread is buried, along with the worx...
It was the intention here to generate some sort of sub community where by any one who wished to participate could not only create graphics to show off in the gallery, but could have the worx posted within one or more sites as part of a project that continually builds...
Making the grafx fit in within a theme, showing not only creative talents for the worx per say, but, as well showing how well your creative talents can fit in within a structured project...
Any one paticipating could host the site in their own webspace, and as well, create different themes to offer the end viewer some variety, while showcasing any and all talents... all under one logo, containing the same worx, only within different skins...so to speak...and all linked together as a ring and all linking back here to Talk...
This would be a first of it's kind project that would serve to further promote the many talents of those Talk members who participate, along with obviously promoting further Talk it's self...
win win win for all... and fun to boot...
Imagine trying to fit in some green grafx within your redition of the site that happens to be orange...work it ...and show others how you did it...
thanx all for the contributions, I am sorry that I have taken so long to reply...whip me haha...seriously though...
While the logo's here are cool, are we sure they would meet the requirements for print outs etc...
We are not only doing this to have fun, but as well to gain experience towards any ventures along the line that will enable any of us to step out and gain advancement...
I guess the only way we will be sure is to hold a poll... Yahoo...
here goes... good luck all participants... [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Hey Randy...
These look great... [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]
I am going to craft up a quick site using several of the submissions by the various contributers and we will see how things go... any of you wish to do the same have at er... then we will post them live, swap notes and take it from there...
till then...
Thanx to those of you who have contributed thus far... here's hoping that we can get this thing going here at Talk...
Time will tell soon enough... [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Hi Gidgit
I was just trying to point out without being offensive the correct spelling of the word hobbyist.Of course this doesn't matter at all in a list post but in a logo it could be significant.Now don't be checking my spelling and typos!
BTW I'd bet your photoshop tomatoes taste better than store bought.About six weeks 'till the real thing eh ...mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Oh Toad I am so sorry... you are of course correct in your position here, and were truly being polite about it... thank you... [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]
btw all, the name ubuild it was not available though there are several other names that were... I am considering making it a no name site until such can be worked out... [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif[/img]
Toad, we pinched off the first (PI [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]) tomato flowers about a week back and have the second sets just coming in now... time to switch up the slurry... [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
