I need a splash image for http://studycorner.net. The image will be on a page by itself, where users can click and then it will take them to the site. Here is the site: http://studycorner.ath.cx:808/index.php. I really appreciate all the tallented work all the designers here have done. Show em what you got! Let the games begin :)

What I envisioned for the splash was some kids sitting around a table with books open on the table. They're talking and laughing, and there's an empty seat with a caption that says "we saved this seat for you".

What kind of pay is there for this?

just my opinion but a website such as a yours should have more emphasis on functionality rather than image. Splash images are great for portfolios or artsy websites, but for websites detailing information, it is a pain. Every single time somebody wants to access information on your website, they have to click past the splash, which wastes several seconds. You don't see amazon.com or sparknotes.com with splash entrances.

So.. that's that. Have a nice day.

Bah all you people are so involved with MUNEY! ;-) I have no money, therefore I have even less to give away. I agree with you m3trans1t, but I still need a few small graphics done. Really simple ones, if anyone's interested in helping out, please let me know. I have an incredibly small budget. I've been coding this since January and am just finishing up, and I'm all alone =( Thanks for any help!

Your name says it all Bozo :rolleyes:

You won't get any of the GOOD designers working for nothing.

RK Raja...

Ain't starting anything with you, but I remember you from freewebspace.net... remember, you ripped off my website forms and other stuff...

I just wanted to mention that yes, some people do tend to be nice to others... I know most of you greedy designers just want cash cash cash, but some of us do give away work for free and do offer help to people in need. Stop giving us a bad name...

Hey, that was almost a year ago ( :confused: ) and they were only forms...

ADD: Hey, I've donated to small projects just starting out, so I'm not that greedy :D

If being compensated for one's time and work is equal to being greedy, then I'd rather be Scrooge than a little free-riding whiner.

Not saying that we don't need money. Just saying, no need to fill a guys post with jokes and criticism just because he can't afford to pay a designer.
