Amamax new site look competition

Thursday, February 12, 2004 by _02 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Amamax, an online computer part retail site would like to get a new look for their web site, and are holding a competition. The winner of the competition wins a new computer case with a power supply (according to the information on their site).

I thought that this would be a good place to post this little snippet of information because there is more artistic talent running around loose on this site than you can shake a stick at. I mean that sincerely

Go here for more info: http://www.amamax.net/EventView.asp?event_id=24& or email them at [email protected] and request the submission information.

BTW: I am in no way affiliated with amamax.com. I've bought a few things from them is all.

Can't decide if that's insulting or hilarious.......

kinda sad when you consider how much sites usually pay a professional to design it for them.

I honestly had no intention of offending anyone when I made this post.

I thought that this may be a good opportunity for someone who is just getting started to maybe get some small reward for their efforts, as well as a bit of recognition. Besides which, most of the people here put many hours of work into their art for absolutely no reward at all.

I apologise for having offended.

Hey, somebody should pop together a quick design made in Paint to show them where 80$ gets them.

Oh, or maybe I could hold a competition open to all companies building new computers. They are all to send me their best computer, and for the winner I will make an animted GIF to place on their web site, for a maximum value of 80$...

I don't mean to sound negative, but why is everyone jumping in and slamming on this?  There are a lot of people out there that don't have much money but have time to do stuff (especially unemployed people who still like tech stuff). 

Let's not create a place where people feel that they can't post stuff like this.  This may interest somebody.  Plus, they can then add to their resume "made graphics for Amamax website".  An $80 case is not insulting to somebody who wants it and has time to kill making graphics.
