rachel's set contest - Please Lock

Wed Jul 06, 2005 10:52 pm

Ok, i'm bored of my set at the moment, but i dont have time to make myself a new one, and i'm feeling too lazy to request a set.... so i'm leaving it up to you guys to make me some :)

Prizes
1st place - 10k
2 runners up - 2k each

themes/requirements
I'm not really all that fussed what is on the set (that and i'm having a mental blank and seem to be unable to compose a list). I'd quite like summery or autumny themed sets, and things relating to sleeping are always good. Generally i'd like pretty girly things like flowers, butterflys, fairys, but then not only that.... surprise me?
A couple of things you could maybe to could (but dont have to) include Birmingham (UK) or perth (WA), adenoviruses (they look cool and i have an 8 week long interest in them), beaches....

I dont mind what size you make the set, obviously within PPT requirements. But please do not animate the sets (except maybe subtly animated subtexts, but not really fast or scary/dizzifying ones).

Colour wise, i'm also having a mental blank, but i dont think there's anything i particuarly hate....

Ok, i think thats it, not that i've written very much at all helpful. basically i'd like sets in general, anything you'd like to make, but no animation.

Closing date - Friday 29th July, and i will attempt to judge by the end of that weekend.

If you have any questions just ask :)

Here is a birmingham set for you. I really like the new shopping centre there, hence why i did the set about the Selfridges store! Anyway, i hope that you like it.

I was just about to come on here and laugh about how anything from Brum could be used in a set... guess I was proved wrong huh? :lol:

there's loads from brum you could use. Selfriges obviously, the uni of birmingham is really pretty, and the med school, all sorts.

And thanks for the set stampsyne... although i dont really understand it...

Well, I really couldn't think of any subtext to go on the siggy, but if you can/want to think of one, I'll gladly slap it on.

Well just made you a set because I forgot about the other till I was putting it in your photo bucket. I hope you will like at least one of them.

flowers and butterflies, always perfect together. I wanted to do something kind of flowery, summer-like yet cool, hence the blue/aqua tones, along with summery greens. The quote is by Lady Bird Johnson

Here's a lotus set. If you can think of a longer and more space filling subtext, I'll be glad to change it.
