We're looking to feature user-created styles alongside those that we're creating in-house. This will be a great way to get your skills in front of a lot of creative people (and people who appreciate creativity). The style library will be a new page that will be seen by every user on tribe.net. <br/> <br/>Submit your style concept as a JPEG to profiledesign@tribe.net by April 1st, 2005. We'll pick the best to be included in the style library, and if selected, your style will be credited with your name, which will be linked to your user profile. The very best style will win its designer an iPod shuffle, too. <br/> <br/>If you're interested, check out the details at the Profile Design Contest tribe: <br/> <br/>http://profiledesign.tribe.net/ <br/> <br/>I'll be answering questions about how to enter (along with Pete and Victor, tribe.net's interface developers) and posting some of my own concepts. <br/> <br/>I've also posted the contest as a listing, which summarizes all the basics: <br/> <br/>http://sanfrancisco.tribe.net/listing/175a601f-6e1d-4680-aacb-db04a0dbb1a7 <br/> <br/>Good luck!</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://usability.tribe.net">Design Life</a> - 0 replies </div> Thu, 24 Mar 2005 23:27:21 GMT http://usability.tribe.net/thread/f77c9675-30a0-4f20-8b86-93dda031df2e elliot 2005-03-24T23:27:21Z http://usability.tribe.net/thread/6af3ed84-a2f2-4c60-80f3-518eebb79792 <div>basically all i want to say is i feel designers must keep with their fine arts knowledge. keep with their personal creativity. i am a graphic designer and i use my own photographs as much as possible, i draw images if they fit the concept, i try to communicate that a 'person' made the piece-not a trained 'machine'. i feel that people respond better when their is 'life' and thought in a piece of design. i feel this way about every school of design. think for yourself and don't be run by a machine. i saw way too many people get stuck when i was in school. stuck in the box and forget their own creativity.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://usability.tribe.net">Design Life</a> - 0 replies </div> Tue, 09 Dec 2003 22:17:52 GMT http://usability.tribe.net/thread/6af3ed84-a2f2-4c60-80f3-518eebb79792 errin 2003-12-09T22:17:52Z
