Johnny 5 Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 This will be interesting its always nice to see new house ideas. I shall keep an eye out maybe enter myself ;-) Quote
Shakar Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 Just a question Hinckley: is your (lovely *sweet*) house a complete building with interior, or is it just a facade? *skull* Shakar *skull* Quote
Lasse D Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 [*]please keep pictures at 72 dpi and the wider dimension under 650 pixels What exactly do you mean with this rule? Do you expect pictures to be mailed to you since you have the 72 dpi limit, or is this something you can set in photoshop or similar programs to keep the file size small? I will have to come up with a pretty bizarre idea if I want my current avatar to have a home. Quote

In photoshop if you right click the image and select image size, you can set the dpi to 72 which is web resolution and the greater dimension, height or width to 650, this will keep the file size reasonable. You can also use the option to save for web, which can save it as an optimized jpg which can also help file size. This is all in consideration of bandwidth for people who are attaching images. This is not a requirement as people might not have the capibility to alter this. There is a handy tutorial here about how to resize images... Quote
SirNadroj Posted October 26, 2007 Posted October 26, 2007 (edited) My entry is coming along nicely. *sweet* It's going to be weird, but it's cool so far! ;-) Edited October 26, 2007 by SirNadroj Quote
Piranha Posted October 26, 2007 Posted October 26, 2007 January 2008!!! Thats a long ways away! I'll probably spend half the time thinking of something awesome :-D So far I am still thinking(not too hard though :-P ) This sounds fun *y* Another Great Contest! Piranha Quote
Shakar Posted October 26, 2007 Posted October 26, 2007 Jan 15? I must do something good then. Could you answer my question please? Just a question Hinckley: is your (lovely *sweet*) house a complete building with interior, or is it just a facade? Thanks. :-) *skull* Shakar *skull* Quote
gylman Posted October 26, 2007 Posted October 26, 2007 Jan 15? I must do something good then. Could you answer my question please? Thanks. :-) *skull* Shakar *skull* Indeed. Do your best on this one. I think that this will be the best EB competition ever. Lots of time to prepare, and the kind of building task that everyone will like, especially since you get to inject your (and your avatar's) personality into it. I don't know what Hinckley intended for us to do for sure, but I suspect he wanted, and certainly I will be building, an entire house, not just a facade. Quote
Hinckley Posted October 26, 2007 Author Posted October 26, 2007 I'm glad everyone is so interested in this. I can't wait to see what people come up with. X-D I don't know what Hinckley intended for us to do for sure, but I suspect he wanted, and certainly I will be building, an entire house, not just a facade. Yes, I do intend for entries to be houses with interiors, but I think he's asking if the one I built-Hinckley's vacation cottage-is a house with an interior or just a facade. Shakar-you don't need to repeat the question. That's the nice thing about posting-it stays there, if I needed it repeated, I could just read it again. Be more patient and maybe I'll answer you in 24 hours :-P :-P ;-) (it has an interior) Quote
LuxorV Posted October 26, 2007 Posted October 26, 2007 Wow, I just finished building my house [gets off worker helmet...] Now I need to take pictures, but I'll do that tomorrow morning, hoping in a better light effect from the sun (if it won't rain all day like today |-/ ) :-$ LuxorV Quote
lego.ryan Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 Hmm, I have a nice idea for mine. Can you say Liz,Will, and Will Junior meets Suburbia? ;-) Quote
SirNadroj Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 Yes, I do intend for entries to be houses with interiors... Good thing there's no size limit. Or should I say size minimum! ;-) Mine's tiny. In fact, there's more landscaping then the actual house! :-$ Quote
LuxorV Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 I just posted my entry :-$ . Now, here a little quiz for you *wacko* . Can you see the 6 items from the Stolen Discovery story? Who will find them all 8-| ? LuxorV Quote

So it has an interior, eh? I suppose that I have to look harder then. It's a very well done house. *y* Gylman, I agree that this may be the best EB contest yet. This time we're not talking about a vignette, but an entire house! People will be able to fully manifest their craziness here...with no size limits. *sweet* Good luck to everyone, I'm sure I'll see lots of wonderful buildings! *skull* Shakar *skull* Quote
Wouwie Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 is it ok if i make an ''house on wheels''? (also known as campers) Quote

Sir Dillon Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 My sig fig lives in the Studio we interview in... Would that count as an entrie? :-$ It says that the creation has to be new... so unless you rebuilt it, I don't think it would count. Quote
