Design Team Meeting Notes – 02/15/2024
Activity
If you are still wanting to be part of the Design Team, that is great news. However, if you are falling off or just do not have the time for it anymore, that is okay. We know this is a volunteer service of the community. We want everyone to feel free to express concerns or trouble keeping up with the objectives of the team to reach out to us.
If you feel you need to speak to us, reach out to SYN Sobi XS or SYN Crazy XS. We are here to help you.
Design Team Projects
Submissions for the Banners requested by the XC/XI’s concerning the following now have a deadline:
- XG Lounge
- Gaming Discussions
- General Discussions
The deadline to get submissions in will be February 29th, at 11:59pm EST.
Reminder, this is voluntary. If you do not want to submit anything for this project, its okay. However, if you do, please have them in by the deadline.
After the requested Project is completed, we will be starting a project for the Design Team itself. The banners located in the Design Team Forums are going to be updated. We want everyone to submit your creative designs for each of the forums if you want to participate. You do not have to submit anything, but it is a great way to show the community members what you can do as a design team member.
These designs will have a submission deadline of March 21st, 2024 at 11:59pm EST.
XBOX Profile Picture Format Size
A not for everyone, Xbox profile pictures format size has been updated. The required size is now:
Anyone creating profile pictures for Xbox members need to be aware of this. I have updated this change on the Forums Format Rules for a guideline for all to see. Thanks.
SOTM – Signature of the Month
We are taking suggestions on the SOTM for the months of March and April. If you have not made a suggestion, please do so in the #sotm thread on the Design Team Discord Area. When making a suggestion, please make sure to list what month the suggestion is for. I will be creating a poll for everyone to vote on their favorite.
Design Submission File Names
When posting a design on the website for a member to pick up, you must remember the file name must match the requirements and rules. Down below is an example:
File Name: Must match members name, all in lowercase, and with no spaces.
• Member's Name: XGC xVIPERx XI would be xgcxviperxxi.png
Same would go for Flyers.
- Golf with Your Friends – golfwithyourfriends.png or gwyf.png
Personal Design Requests
If you do not have a Person Design Requests thread in your person forum, I would make the suggestion of creating one. This area would be for members wanting things like profile pictures or any other miscellaneous creation besides banners or signatures.
Signatures
Speaking of Signature requests. There is a rule about signatures I would like to point out again.
- If a member does not have 25 posts on the website, they CANNOT have a signature requested in the Request a Signature Forum. It must be denied! If they post the request in YOUR Personal Forums, it is at your own discretion on whether or not to create the design for them.
- Once a member has picked up their signature, they must wait a MINIMUM of 60 days before they can request a new one to be designed.
- There is an exception:
- Individuals who have purchased specific active website Subscriptions can have multiple signatures. Multiple requests may be made. (1 every 2 weeks from the time signature is picked up)
I will be looking into if a. is still in effect. Please bare with me while I find this information out.
If you have any questions or concerns about the Design Team or any of the notes provided, please contact either SYN Sobi XS or SYN Crazy XS about them.
Keep up the good work guys. I am PROUD of ALL of you as Design Team Members!
