Dear Passengers and Crew,

In the not too distant future there will be some big changes to the rooms and decks, all designed to make the chat a better place and the rooms more fun and busy!

Part of this will include the introduction of 4 new rooms and we'd love you to be a part of that.

Are you good at graphic design?
Do you know what looks good?
Could you create a room design from scratch?

If you're interested, please read the below:

- You must be good at graphic design.
- Room designs must not be tacky, include glitter or any animations.
- They must be all your OWN work.
- They should be in a similar style to Embarkation/PhilosophyLounge/Hold.

The Advanced stuff:

- The graphics size should be 800 x 600 pixels.
- Try and keep the file size low, around 400kb would be ideal.
- Keep it simple, it is better to use fewer colours that work well together.
- The room design template can be found HERE.
- Need help with the design template? Click HERE.

Submission details:

- The design needs to be created using the official template above.
- The design needs to be based around one of the following rooms: England, Ireland, Scotland or Wales.
- To submit it, we will only require a reduced down SCREENSHOT of the design, rather than the entire file.
- Once you've created it, please upload it to your photo album and leave the screenshot of the design in the logbook of Noesis_Graphics. Set this as private.
- Submissions will be accepted until midnight on 1st October 2011.

What is in it for me?:

- The creators of the best designs will get their designs used in the 4 new rooms (although rights are reserved not to use them should the standard not be as good as required).
- The creators of the best designs will also receive a 30 day Sapphire package as a thank you!
- Runners up will receive a 7 day Sapphire package as a thank you!

Get hints and tips or help others by going to the Design Studio forum area.

Know your limits, if you can't create a room design as good as the existing ones, it might be worth a bit of practise and waiting until next time!

Good luck, and thank you.
