Please Request Graphics in the Graphics Request Sub-Forum!
Recently the graphics section here has boomed, with many people joining specifically to request graphics. Unfortunatly it is not very helpful to the artists here to just say that you want a signature, or a banner, or some other graphic. Here are some forms you can use when requesting graphics:

What does this all mean? Please also refer to Zaico's Graphics Dictionary. When requesting graphics, you may give as much or as little detail in your order.
- Size: The size of the graphic, in pixels. Maximum sizes on RuneCrypt are: 475x200 for signatures, ?x? for avatars, and 300x30 for under-signatures. Website headers are normally around 700x150, and logos will depend on how they will be used.
- Style: Signatures and other graphics can have many different feels, and moods to them. Part of what defines that feel is the way it is made. Examples of the different styles can be seen in Zaico's Graphics Dictionary
- Render: A render is an image added to a graphic that is not designed in photoshop, or whatever programmer the artist is using. It is usually made in another program, or cut out of a picture from a game. These are added to a graphic to add a focal point.
- Text: What do you it to say in your text, what font to do want to be used, where should it be placed, and how large should it be?
- Animation: What would you like to be animated, and how should it move. Some common effects are: Fading, Flashing, Typing, Changing Color, and Moving.
- Border: Do you want a border? If so, what type? Some styles are: dashed, single line frame, double line frame, and two sided frame.
- Coloring: What color do you want it to be? You can also specify what colors individual elements should be.
- Site it will be used on: For banners and logos, it is helpful to see a layout that it should match, and look nice in.
Hope this helps, and tell me what I forgot.
