Submission Guidelines
- The Dream Theater logo MUST be done correctly or I can't accept it. Please take a look at this example of how it needs to be entered to look as it should:
- Do not take a simple photo of Dream Theater, slap the logo on along with your name, and submit it as a creation... you didn't create anything. These submissions will not be accepted.
- Wallpapers should be in any of the following dimensions (these are the most common and easy to scale to in-betweeners):
- WIDESCREEN
If you want to submit any WIDESCREEN creations, please do so in either 1920 x 1200 (the best quality) or 1680 x 1050.
- MULTI-DISPLAY
Please follow the same guides above but spread them over two or three monitors... so, instead of one design at 1600x1200, you'll have two separate ones of 1600x1200 for a total of 3200x1200 or 4800x1200 for a triple display design, get it? They should be "related" to eachother so that when viewed side by side they look like they are connected.
For some examples you can check out Deviant Art.com.
- 1600 x 1200
- I am NO LONGER providing multiple resolutions. Computers automatically resize and stretch wallpaper images now.
- Please use .jpg format and not .gif format. Millions of colours are better than just 256 and even though a .gif might look fine if you only used a few shades the file size is HUGE when the same file is a maximum quality .jpg.
- In order to have your own page on the site you need to send in at least 6 creations or at least guarantee me that you'll have at least 6 soon. But, don't stop at 6, keep going!
- Please think of a creative DT-related name for your wallpaper. Instead of just "Number One" or whatever use your imagination and call it something that reflects the personality or theme of your creation.
- You should include a watermark/copyright line/graphic/etc on your wallpapers and posters so I know who to give credit to and, more importantly, anyone who uses it will know who made it. Bottom right/left corners are generally the best places for this and make sure they are visible but don't distract from the rest of the artwork.
