Description
PLEASE read the full description INCLUDING the theme... if you are unsure, please ask!It's starting again!
Welcome to the start of the second Post It Note Project! Now with more colours (12 in total with 9 new colours and 3 of the original colours)... being kept open longer, with a theme and with a contest !
====== What is the theme/purpose:
= One thing we all have in common is that we are members of DeviantART. We are part of a community. It's a large community and we've all experiences different elements, sections and groups of people. Therefore the theme of the second post it note project is going to be "DeviantART"!
= All post its must be dA related in some respect... whether you are giving people tips on where to social, your favourite galleries on dA... your favourite emoticon... memories from dA... advice for new members... unfound elements of dA you think need to be exposed more... it's up to you!
= Any negative post its wont be added to the project... let's keep this upbeat, perky and just generally a laugh! This is not a serious project, it's all for the LULZ!
====== What you need to do:
= Click on "Download" to save a Winrar file which contains a readme and 12 transparent PNGs (1 of each colour).
= Open your selected colour into your graphics program
= Save your note as an Alpha Transparent PNG (PNG24)
= Upload it to DeviantArt into either DeviousFun or your scrapbook
= Leave a comment on this page with a link to your note
= If you have multiple notes, upload them separately
====== What will happen:
= I will fav/collect the post-it's in a collection
= Eventually add as many as possible to the final piece
====== Tips for your note:
= Use either your pen tablet, mouse or a handwriting font to make your note
= Don't feel under pressure to come up with something straight away... try the original concept and go to the toilet and if something comes to mind, write it down!
= Try to stay positive - people would most likely prefer to read positive things than negative
= Keep your handwriting neat and understandable... if you are unsure, show a friend before submitting. If they are unable to read it, try using a handwriting font.
= Try to use just one colour for the "ink" - black is preferrable
= Post it contents must follow deviantArt's policies
= You are welcome to post as many post-it's as you'd like, however please keep in mind that if this project gets uber busy... then I may just pick one of your notes for the final project.
====== Useful links
= [link] - handwriting fonts on deviantArt which are free to use
= [link] a useful site to help find a tutorial on saving as a transparent PNG
====== Credits
= Original concept by Sharon Milne aka ChewedKandi - based on a post it project I'm having in my own bathroom - for an indepth description of this and an example how the final project will look click here
News article to be submitted in the coming week(s) to raise more exposure for the project and to feature already submitted post its!

I'm sorry it needs to be dA related in order for it to be entered

It was meant to be Originality, referring to the excessive fan art (which I don't critique, some of them are pretty awesome), lack of space and a tablet made me cut it to Original, with the 'original' color of the post-it as the bg

Oh you need to save them as transparent PNGs for me to include them in the project and contest - could you do that and give me a shout so I can add them
Remember to sort it before midnight tomorrow UK time to be entered in the contest

Would you mind if I continued to use your Post-It template after the contest, so I can make Post-It notes for my journal and shoutboards? I'll continue to credit you in my artist's comments, of course.
I just LOVE them!

Do what you wish with the templates - you don't need to credit me though I'm just happy you're enjoying using them

Thank you so much! Of course I'll always credit you whenever I use your templates, because it's the only polite thing to do.
And crediting you and linking back to your templates allows others to play around with them too, which is a bonus.
I hope that Post-Its become more widely used. They could be the next stamp!
That would be so awesome!
