N95 Theme contest

~catallus:iconcatallus: reports, September 7, 2007
I've never run a contest before - so please forgive any mistakes.

I was looking for some themes for my Nokia N95 and came across this well crafted one
[link]

Thought what better way to inspire people out there in dA land than to run a contest.

Prizes:
1st = 12 months subscription
2nd = 6 months subscription
3rd = 3 months subscription

End date November 30th 2007

Rules & Guidelines

Theme made freely available to dA members
Themes should be 'well considered' - by that I mean not just a change of colour and wallpaper.
Themes from other models, phones, etc can be ported - so long as the original is your work.
Nudity is fine.

If there are no themes worthy of first prize 2 second and 2 third prizes will be given.

Post submissions here [link] (or link from your gallery)

As I said, first time contest runner so if I'm unclear just ask me to clarify.

To be honest you should extend the date of the competition. To make a decent theme for nokia needs time. That's the only theme I am using because it is the most complete theme around. Look at Ayofe Theme for Symbian S60v3 from =eggy that took quite a while to make everything from scratch. Don't forget the number of icons you have to make for that phone.

How's Feb 1st 2008?

I'm pretty ignorant about creating themes so have no clue about creation times.

Hmm, maybe I should up the 1st prize?

On no... Not the briar patch!

I don't remember exactly how long it took me, but it took me more than 2 months to release the theme. After which, I had (and still have) to update certain things.

In total I must have created about 400 icons now. There are more than 300 default icons for applications & menus in Carbide. There are also a number of additional icons for applications such as the music player, that you can do. I also had to add a number of 'third party icons' manually, these include some of the N95's default icons that weren't listed in Carbide and icons for actual third party applications.


Just to give you a fair idea, lol. There are a lot of elements to do, and the theme application itself isn't very user-friendly. This is the main reason why there aren't many (decent) themes for S60 out there, unfortunately. Then again, I guess that's the reason why I tried to make one myself :)

Oh, by the way, I forgot... About 3-4 months time should be fine I think. You could give them till the end of this year for instance :)
