Please post any themes that you would like to see in SOTW, or ideas that you have regarding bringing in more activity, tournaments, etc. Your suggestions are appreciated  . Bonus: For every ten (10) themes that you suggest, you get a limited edition, Offical SOTW Congratulatory Handshake! (Working on some new rewards for SOTW, so you've gotta settle with a handshake for now) Thanks, Knighty |

Subliminal Messages
Abstract
Traditional Art
Another Stock Photo theme
I would like to see SOTW's that have limitations other than any color or any text. Make us design around a phrase or a special color scheme.
Also, just a wild thought, experimentation with requiring a specific signature size like a only 300 X 150 or only 400 X 100. Make it CRAZY!

Question:
has anyone ever gone through the old posts, and made a list/database of old themes?
If it hasn't been done, I'm more than willing to take a few hours and make one to post somewhere, so we know at a quick glance what has been done in the past, or what hasn't been done since the year 1409.

i like the more specific ones. like maybe a huge stock that we gotta use somehow in the pic, or only shades of the color red or something.
video games are a huge fav of mine.
movies.
we could do like an ad banner sotw, like advertizing some product or location

OOOOOOOOHHHHHH *LIGHT BULB* lol
Going along with Trouts product idea ...
We had to do this in a high school class years and years ago. Trout sparked off the way distant memory.
We had to make up a product, then create packaging, a marketing strategy, and ads for it. It could be silly, serious, playful ... whatever.
It wouldn't be that difficult to translate this idea into a sig at all. And It might help invent some very interesting products!

I think very specific themes can be fun at times... but if you're looking to increase participating you might want to go for the general ones. Stuff like movies, music, things along those lines. Even something like photography or portraits or something like that.

you could also look at the past sotw themes that have been used, and see which ones generated the most interest and submissions. then use those ones again.

I've used some previous themes that have had a lot of entries. Lately, I've been trying to do some broad themes so that I can increase activity. Thanks everyone for your suggestions, they're going on my big list of ideas . |

Since no one answered my question in this post about having a master list of past themes, I'm gonna go ahead and make one up anyways.

Although if you check the SOTW winners thread you can see which theme the sig was made for. If you feel the need to create a list, you should direct the finished list to knighty to have it posted. |
