Ok, as much as I hate to say it a lot of you can't set out a simple request thread so I've decided to make some sort of guidelines.

Titles: - fairly simple example, also when making a request thread make sure you use the request subsection.
NOT PAYING: Team Chocolate LF GFX
PAYING: Team Chocolate LF GFX $$

Requesting:
A lot of "anything that looks cool" or "try anything, not sure what we want" has been seen lately - this IS NOT how it should be written up - A designer won't bother even bother opening up Photoshop if all you've written up asking for something that looks cool because in all honesty we all have different ideas on what's cool and what isn't.

What we do look for is:
- Team name / Name
- Preferred colours
- Ideal logos in which you like or a theme or maybe 1-2 sentences about the design your picturing. Even doing a rough sketch and scanning it onto your computer and posting it in the thread can give us an idea as to what you want.
- What your actually looking for like Sigs, Logo, Banner, Wallpaper etc etc

Heres an example if your still not quite sure:
Quote from Team Chocolate LF GFX $$$:
Hey designers of CG, Team Chocolate is looking for new graphics. We are looking for something that can represent us as a team, something that is simple yet professional.

What we are looking for:
Avatar
PRM and Non-PRM Sigs
1x Transparent Logo
1x Logo with background
1x Team Banner

CODE:
Text: Your name
Subtext: Myclan
Colors: Blues, greys, dark themed
Render/Stock: (URL)
Size: (Premium or the pixel size)

The Logo:
- Must have a sort of chocolate emblem or theme to it.
- Simple but effective and professional.
- Colours: We want it stay within the chocolate theme, so keep it brown.
- Our clan tag is CHOC, so you can use that if you want

We understand that graphics requires a fair bit of effort and time and we've decided to pay for your work. The team has decided on a minimum of $35 to pay and if we all think its worth more we will be happy to sort something out. If you have any questions please feel free to post in the thread or PM me or one of the members.

Cheers,
Team Choc.

Now that the guidelines are here it should be fairly easy to get the layout correct - It will help you and your team get what your looking for faster and you'll get respect from designers. If you'd like to add anything on, post it below.

GFX Requests
When requesting an image, it helps the designers here if you supply them with some information as to what you are looking for in it. Try to make sure it is detailed but not a 200 word essay.

An ideal request would be something like:

Sample Request:
Hey guys, I'm looking for a signature. I'd prefer to have a teal colour scheme with this render. Can I get the text saying "*dalla." in a font that suits the style of the sig.
Hardly..

Very Helpful, Worthy of a sticky for sure, Get sick of people requesting and not knowing what they want, Doesn't help us in the least.

There are still people not reading this, threads will start getting locked if people don't post proper details of what they want, not just "someone make me a sig and make it look good" or asking people to PM them for the details.

It takes barely 3 minutes to do a decent post containing the info above.

Yes because most people think that as designers we are also mind readers and can pull something perfect off for them first time. I dont even bother looking at threads like that and just press back straight away..

Got to love the ones that say -
MAKE me a free logo/sig. (What are you the king or some shit?)

Another tip: It actually helps if you post what you want, with details, instead of asking the designers to message you - because honestly that's just annoying, especially if your not paying.
