    It's out of place, I'll submit my entry this week, seen as I missed the last contest.

    here's another one

    and yes... simplistic it is...



    execution is a little on the sloppy side, i spent more time researching whether mad, or anyone else, had used this idea elsewhere... apparently not. is this allowed, anyway? using an inspired idea...?

    can i replace this with a better done version later?

    questions:
    do i need to place the entries in a format? watermark it?
    am i allowed to place a © message on entries?
    am i asking questions in the wrong place? if so, where do i go?

    We have a 3 submission per designer rule, but it's OK to make revisions on your submitted concepts.

    Watermark? If you think there's a need to do that, you can. But usually we don't watermark designs here. Watermark isn't very effective to avoid ripoffs as many people think.

    ©? If you want you can..

    You can send me a private message for your questions.

    thanks seawise...

    i'll store up my third entry for a more creative period...

    i personally don't like watermarks, but have seen that it's a norm at many places...

    i don't mind if people use my stuff, but have always used a © thingy, just so i get credited... if they want to remove it, they're free to... of course, the last retard who ripped textual content of a site i'd done was hounded by me for a week until he took it off...

    any graphics can be stolen, no matter if it is watermarked or not - this is the bad thing, the good thing that once you post your work here you can always refer to it as being the original. The date and time when the post made is recorded and the administration of DC can prove that the records have not been changed. But the decision to use watermarks or not is up to you

    i'll still go with no watermarks... there was this custom among the people of tonga, where nobody locked their doors, ever. they believed that if someone wanted something of yours so badly that he would steal, let him have it. likewise, for my work.

    and if i ever need to shame a thief into admitting he stole work... i will be resorting to you, resurepus.
