CLASS Installer Design Contest ------------------------------ There are so many great artists in the PC SCENE and, we at CLASS, wish to give them a way to show what they are able to do. What to do? * Just do your best at drawing/designing a cool interface for a CLASS installer. How to do it? * Get the picture located at: http://www.multimania.com/atm9x/insgfx.gif * Use your favorite tools to draw the required images and buttons. * You should also get the "Rules & Requirements" located at: http://www.multimania.com/atm9x/rules.txt * Send your picture to [email protected] including your Nick/handle/email for credits. What will happen then? * A jury consisting of CLASS members will vote to decide which are the best 3 GFX sent. Those 3 GFX will be used to make 3 Installers following your guidelines, and of course, will be used in CLASS releases. What is the time limit? * The deadline to send your picture is March 14th. The jury will then decide all of the winners. Remember that everyone has a chance to win, whatever your affiliations and whoever you are. The choice will only be based on the GFX, not on the author. Anyway, the author's name will not be given until the final 3 choices are made, so everybody gets judged fairly and is equal!
