Design Contest - $1000 / Gallery Design
 

Hi everyone,

We're looking for a nice gallery design for TGPs.
We're offering $1000 for the best design.

Site is:
www.met-art.com
The gallery design has to be in theme with the site, but not necessarily looking like it. Creativity is more than welcomed.

Submissions have to go to:
[email protected]

Thanks,
MET Staff

Damn nice price!
Bumb for you guys :cool-as-a

This is for a gallery right? Not a TGP?

MET ART was around a billion years before FTV.
All the sites like Hegre, FTV, and more or less 100 others got the idea of covers from MET ART, as well as a lot of other things, in some cases TONS of other things. We cannot do a single change, that a week later they implement it as well. We feel stalked at times :-).
First cover was created in 1999, when all these sites did not exist at all. We actually very touchy about this issue...

This is for a gallery.

Best thing is to tour the site a bit, and come up with something nice.
Deadline is 7th of January, or earlier, if someone submits something really gorgeous. Anyone doing an awesome job might also land a stable job with MET. We're opened to anything, and we're always happy to take talents on board. Hey, we know that our design is crap, but after all we're still, by far, the best selling nude site on the planet. Other sites are more flashy, but we actually sell more than anyone. We're really searching for talents, that can interpret our design (crappy!), and make it better, without changing it radically.

MET Staff

Thanks. Hope it works.

I'm in, good luck!

I like the theme, count me in. :)

We'll take part in the contest too :)

"very" is a little bit over reacting dude :glugglug

Met-Art makes me nice $$ too. :smilie_we

METstaff,

Why don't you let all the designers post their submissions in this board, so that we all will know who win. This is the proof!

In the past, they are some "asshole" open a contest, after received designer's private submission, they run away!

P/s: No offense, but just wanna make it clear!

I fully agree on this one. This is also how Allie and Jack are running theirs. :glugglug

You said your "met-art" was created since 1999, but why your domain show

Use to be mosteroticteens that's why.

I also agree. It also let's the designers see the competition; makes them work harder to beat what has been created. Its in your own best interest.

ahh .. the old times when there models were also younger than now :anon oh, i forgot .. it's "art"

looks good :cool-smil

It's quite amazing that someone ever checks this kind of stuff. Funny.
We changed from Mosteroticteens to MET-ART.com because a lot of photogrphers (really famous ones, not self proclaimed), would not work with us, with that domain name. A lot of models had the same problem. After we changed name, legends, such as Jacques Bourboulon, and Roy Stuart, accepted to publish on MET. Do not forget that several people begged both photographers to publish on the net, but they failed for years, until they both made a short appearance on the web, and then they signed with MET ART. People tend not to understand what it means to have such names on the site. Consumers, on the other hand, understand that very well...

Fine for us, you can post the results her. No problem. Do not forget to CC us your work as well. We would never cheat, as we never did before. We've been around too long to be cheaters. Those are usually short lived.

Sincerely,
MET Staff

Hey, forgot to add.
The gallery is for a template for our hosted galleries.
You're welcome to comment on them, once posted, since they're going to be used by webmasters to promote us.
Hosted galleries are at:
http://www.teen-beauty.com (still beta).
Webmaster section:
http://www.teen-beauty.com/webmaster/create_account/
It lets you create hosted galleries for MET-ART.
We just added a random gallery generator, and we're tweaking the system, but it's up, and running.

P.S. The look will change. It's being redesigned now, but the current templated look like MET ART.

Couple of current templates...
Yuk!

Do not comment on the pathetic layout :-)

Just the collest tweak for Firefox
 

Coolest tweak for Firefox. A Must have!

1. Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:



network.http.pipelining

network.http.proxy.pipelining

network.http.pipelining.maxrequests



Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.



2. Alter the entries as follows:



Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"



Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"



Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.



3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves.



If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages 2-3 times faster now.

Thanks to Jake

Bump for you and i'll see if I can get something in before the deadline it's a hell of a contest...

Some more info about the Constest
 

I would put all important things such as the ones contained at:
http://www.met-art.com/meminfos.htm

I would also mention at:
http://www.met-art.com/
bottom of the page, all the ratings / reviews scores.
(that little info image at the bottom is another thing that more, and more sites are copying. First site to copy, had one two days after we put it live).

We're going to have our own Livecams in January. It's going to be an absolute first for this kind of website.
It should be a VERY BIG deal.

I would put emphasis on the amount of updates (3 to 6 / day) , photos (more than 130.000) , photographers (more than 50 total), models (more than 1250).

We have a new On Location feature:
http://www.met-art.com/onlocation/ol.htm

Some of our Photographers, are Gods of photography (Jacques Bourboulon, Chris Nikolson, Roy Stuart, Peter Dominic, etc.).
They've been Masters for decades, not 20 minutes, and they're not self proclaimed Masters, the public, and their books made them cult Photographers.
They even publish bootleg books of them in Japan!

Anything else you can think of, you're welcome to add.

MET Staff

bump for you :xmas-smil

:2 cents:

hello, Metstaff,

It's the contest still on?

Closing date
 

The contest is still on.
It will close on the 7th of January.
I do not know why they asked to post the designs here, but then no one does, and they email it to us.

Weird. It seemed so important, but then no one does it.
Happy New Year,
MET Staff

When will you announce the Winner ?

Did you receive any submission until now?
