______||___WELC0ME T0 BETTER DESiGNz
Welcome to Better Designz! We (Asdy, Nessy and Esther) are the ones serving you here and we are the ones who provide the graphics for this site. The graphics here vary but we put much effort into every one. ;) Currently we do not take requests for graphics but maybe someday we will. We would also appreciate it if you supported us by subscribing or voting for us. :) Oh and please feel free to join our blogring too.

   

Plus, please know that we do not welcome thieves and plagiarizers, or "jockers" as some may call them. Also please read the Terms of Use to your left if you plan to use our graphics. If you have a suggestion, please read under the updates. Thank you and enjoy now!

______||___NEWS & UPDATES

WE ARE ON HIATUS. Sorry we didn't say this sooner, but the three of us are huge procrastinators.. furthermore, we didn't feel like updating because not many people were voting for us, people were not following the rules, more specifically, the requesting rules and I know that there was at least one layout designer who had stole our layout coding. *luckily, she closed her site on time* And we are deeply sorry, but we are not fulfilling any requests that followed the rules. ;_; We are very busy with school. We might open back up in the winter break or spring break, we're not sure. We'll definently come back next summer. [By then, I should have my PSP. :P]

I added one random avatar of person that fell, or...something. I dunno. I was reading Perfect Girl Evolution...
Esther Spoke on August 29, 2005 @ 4:30 PM


I'M BACK! Uhm, yeah...just felt you had to know that...Oh yeah, I'm also taking requests with Asdy soon. I'm working on some layouts, so until next time! [You know you love my sexy Cain update avatar!]
Esther Spoke on August 27, 2005 @ 3:30 PM


I added a new banner that says 'My heart does flips when you're around' and there's a little animation. Also, requests are open but it's only me since Nessy's new computer doesn't have her graphic editing program and Esther's computer died, and she's away in Canada. *cries* However, some things you must know about requesting are; 1) You have to email the request to us or we won't do it. So that means you can't request by commenting, and 2) Absolutely must read the Terms of Use AND the Requesting rules! 3) We will ONLY have five queues per graphic so if you are, for example #6, then we might delete your request. Sorry. So do keep an eye out on the Request Queue! Thanks and look forward to the next update.

I'm back from camp... Actually, I've been back for a while but was too lazy to do anything. Haha. But anyways, I made a new celebrity layout featuring Paris Hilton. Go check it out. Oh and also go HERE to vote for Nessy's princess banner. If we win, then surely we will be more motivated to make more graphics. XD Haha. Just vote for entry#1. Thanks! Plus we also have a new affiliate, Ximori! Go visit them. Now look forward to the next update. ^_~

______||___HAVE A SUGGESTi0N?
Do you have a suggestion to make Better Designz even better? Here at BD, we are very open to suggestions. Though we may not take all the suggestions we receive, we definitely consider each and every one. So don't be afraid to speak your mind out. We don't bite. :) So please feel free to suggest by commenting under this entry. (We don't take suggestions under any other entries.)

If you deem it necessary, then you can also email your suggestion to us at betterDESiGNz@gmail.com. Although don't suggest anything unappropriate such as closing our xanga down. Ridiculous suggestions like that are ignored and deleted. Thank you.

______||___REQUEST A GRAPHiC
Graphic request is now OPEN. For now only Esther is taking requests, Nessy & Asdy are not. So if you ask them to do your request, it will be ignored. Requested Graphic Pick-Ups are at the bottom the this entry so please scroll to the bottom to pick up your requests.

Before you make a request though, be sure to read the requesting rules AND terms of use before you even try. If even one rule is not followed then we will NOT grant your request. The types of graphics we will ONLY do are avatars, banners, buttons and layouts. Nothing else. Also, there are queues for requesting graphics. (Queues are a waiting list.) We will only take five queues per type of graphic. (Meaning only 5 layout requests, 5 avatar requests, etc; at a time. A total of 20 graphics.) Sorry, but we don't want to many requests piling up since we do have lives beside graphic making. Now please read on to the rules if you are still interested in requesting.

---» REQUESTiNG QUEUES
Avatars: 0/5 || Banners: 0/5 || Buttons: 0/5 || Layouts:1/5

______||___REQUESTiNG RULES
[+] Only ONE graphic request per person. No requesting multiple graphics at a time.
[+] Once your request has been made, you must wait one week before you can request again.
[+] Be detailed in want you want your graphic to look like, so we can get it the way you want it. If you're not detailed and it ends up not being what you expected, then sorry but we don't redo the graphics. :(
[+] Subscribe (and better yet, vote) to Better Designz before you request. We will check if you subscribed.
[+] FOR LAYOUT REQUESTS: Specify on any theme colors you want for the layout AND if you want the layout to have custom modules or not. Also tell us if you want a banner or not, and if yes, then what size (or you can let us choose the size) and what text you want on it. Plus if you want a certain image on the banner or background (if you requested a background w/ the layout) then it is suggested that you provide the URL to the image or tell us what/who you want to be featured on it.
[+] FOR AVATAR REQUESTS: Please tell us what size you want the avatar to be or we will automatically make it 100x100 pixels. Also include any image URL or details on color themes and text you want for the avatar, and whether you want any transparency designs or not. You may also request the avatar to be animated but as a warning, we are not that good at any complicated animations so beware. :P
[+] FOR BUTTON REQUESTS: Specify the -size (if you don't say, then we will make it 88x31 pixels on default), theme colors, picture URL or who/what you want to be on it, and the text- you want on it. Only thing you cannot request is for the size/dimensions of the button to be any bigger than 200x100 pixels.
[+] FOR BANNER REQUESTS: Tell us if you want the banner to have an image (either provide a URL to the picture or tell us who/what you want) or just be brushes&effects. Also specify any theme colors, and text you want on the banner. Remember, be as specific as possible!
[+] It is highly recommended that you give us hex colors instead of just the name so it's closer to what you want, but not required.
[+] Use the graphic you requested on your xanga right after we finish it. If we make it and you don't use it, then don't expect us to grant any of your requests anymore.
[+] Please be patient and don't expect the request to be done in less than a day. Please wait at least a week. We all have lives you know.
[+] In the 'Anything Else?' field, put "Better Designz are hott!" without quotations. x) This proves you read the rules, so you better put it!
[+] We have the right and ability to redistribute any graphics we made for you, on Better Designz. Also, we only take requests by email, if you comment then it won't be made.

We have the right to change the rules at any time. Sorry if the rules are a bit long but if you really want a request, then you just got to read them.
