Creating Graphics: Link to Us, Buddy Icons, etc

1

Hey everyone,
If you are intersted in contributing graphics to the kirupa.com site to be displayed publically at the Link to Us location (http://www.kirupa.com/me/link.htm), here are the few basic guidelines:

Link to Us Banners/Graphics
[list]
[]There is no official logo for the site, so be creative!
[]The design should be in good taste, and not offensive.
[]Try to keep the graphics compact in both filesize and dimensions.
[/list]AOL Buddy Icons
[list]
[]The width and height of the buddy icons should be 48x48.
[]The file size limit used by AOL IM is about 7k. Try keep your graphics’ size smaller than that.
[]Animated GIFs are preferred.
[*]Keep the text, graphics, etc. appropriate.
[/list]Please post all graphics in this thread as an attachment or a link. [color=darkolivegreen]PM me (kirupa) once you have added your graphics to the thread.[/color]

Cheers!
Kirupa :ub:

two icons (thanks bill gates pals for the original ones) - im using them as icons for my next tutorial so if they’re not on the site I guess they might be added later:
(used as little pics next to tut names in the tutorial)
(used as frontpage link images)

Actually AIM Icons are 50 x 50 max and about 25 kb I think. My one is 14.97 kb :).

Hey Kirupa, made some buddy icons. About 4KB each. The black one is about 2KB ;).

You can upload all of these to your site, none of these, or one of these :).

nice job, you ought to animate them :thumb:

Quick question, I have no where to upload flashes to show people (and I don’t want to have to pay or become a member for them to host, believe me, I’ve seen sites like that).

I don’t want to become a member though.
It would be kind of like imageshack.us

10

Um why not? Just make an account (takes 3 seconds) and just upload…

11

Meh.
Call it a phobia.

12

Of what…it’s free.

13

Of what my parents would do to me if they found out about it.

14

Um…why would they do anything to you?

It’s a FREE host…meant to be FREE. What’s so bad about it?

15

They’re over-paranoid.
I’ll try it out though.

16

All I can say is, “Access denied”.

17

Wow that must suck. Your parents don’t trust you for going on to FREE websites? How old are you?

18

I don’t think I’m aloud to even say that…:puzzle:

19

ok…definitely a wierded out moment:

Anyhoo, I’ve added your icons up sharif. Thanks :cons:
