Archive Makeover!


Greetings from the =StockArchive! If you're unfamiliar with us, the purpose of our archive is to list as many stock accounts as possible. Not only that, but to allow those who access our archive to know as much about the stock accounts as possible before visiting: What kind of stock is found, what the rules are, if it can be used in prints or off-site, etc. We want to make it as easy as possible to locate all kinds of stock for usage.

We've been around for roughly a year and a half, and some aspects of our account have been slow to change...mainly our icon, DeviantID, and Journal CSS. So, in order to help bring us up to date, interact more with the community, and have a little fun, it was decided to have a contest.


Contest Goal!

You are to design a custom Journal CSS*, DeviantID, and icon specifically for the archive. To get a feel for what we're looking for, pay attention to previous themes. It doesn't have to strictly library, archive, or office-themed, but please keep in mind what we do when designing your submissions.



Rules

1.) Each person can submit as many times as they want, there is absolutely no limit.

2.) Each participant must design at least (1) Journal CSS*, (1) DeviantID, and (1) icon. You do not have to include stamps.

3.) While you do not have to adhere strictly to the theme of our archive (do be creative), if your submissions are judged to be too far off what we're looking for, we may not accept them.

4.) If your work uses stock and or other resources that are NOT your own, you MUST credit those sources.

5.) Please link back to the contest journal in your artist comments.
