Want to design for ily.637? Here's your chance. We are looking for talented, creative and fresh designers! Send us some examples of your work and some information about you!
Q. I already have a layout site on myspace. Can I still apply? And if I can, can I put my work on the ily.637 domain site and on my myspace site?
A. Yes! You would just have to make sure to include WWW.ILY637.COM on your work, whether you distribute it on myspace or wherever else you choose. If you do the same tag twice - the one you would submit to me for use would have to only have ily.637's url on it. The one you use on your site would also have to have the url on it as well, but could also have the url to your myspace page.
Q. What type of designs are you looking for?
A. We are looking for fresh designs that are funny, sexy, flirty, friendly and romantic! Anything to do with relationships, friendships, family, pregnancy, religion, politics, military, marriage, pop-culture, slef-esteem && life in general! Anything original, interesting or amazing. Icons, layouts, graphics, picture captions, banners and widgets.
Q. Will I get paid for my work?
A. At this time, no. But depending on funding in the future it is very possible!
Q. If we are working together, will we share fonts, ideas and tips?
A. Of course! I will send you several fonts, the first one being the one I would like used to stamp the WWW.ILY637.COM watermark on your work, as well as any others you would like to use!
Q. How will people know who did what?
A. There will be personal signatures made for each team member and also a seperate page set aside with all the designers' names, info, personal websites, myspace site and a picture!
Q. Will you be providing the hosting site for our work?
A. Yes! You will share a photobucket with me, which I will pay for. Everyone will have their own folders and whatnot to upload their work into. I also pay for the domain and the actual web site and it's hosting.
Q. Will I have access to the actual administration section of the website?
A. Not at first. If you are already a designer than you can understand how hard it is to just trust someone with your work. I wouldn't post my password in a bulletin and therefore wouldn't feel comfortable giving my administration password to everyone working with the site. I will make sure we got along and that you wouldn't screw me over or ruin the site and them most likely share the password with my main helpers! You will get a personalized email at this domain tho. =]
Q. If we can't personally post our work on the site - how would it get there?
A. You would send it to my email you could set a folder aside in photobucket and let me know when your work is ready.
Q. What if I need your help or need to get in contact with you immediately?
A. You will my personal email address, my MSN instant messenger name, as well as my phone number.
Q. I am not good at HTML or designing. Could I help with other stuff?
A. Of course. I need help reading emails, organizing things and alot of the time I will need someone just to talk to about whatever's going on with the site. I am going to need someone to help with pointing out mistakes, errors, or maybe just good ideas that we skip over or don't catch! There's plenty of opportunities. I would also need some reliable people to help spread the word about the new site and get our names out there! We could use a few creative people to help think of new ideas for designs and they could also get feedback from others on what they would like to see from myspace layout sites.
Q. I want to design, but I just want to do military stuff, is that a problem?
A. Nope, you can stick with what you are familiar with, but we would really love designers who would like to do all kinds of different things. Different people like different things. So we would want to be versatile, not just one track. Not everyone in the world is married to a military man (they're missing out! lol) so therefore we are expanding! All walks of life, all ideas, all options and possibilities!
if there is another way you would like to help the site - let me know here by email submit@ily637.com!
