Seeking Flash Artists/Website Designers for big project!

Posted by MaestroRage - August 11th, 2008


There are elements in this world which is fair, and unfair, the latter being much heavier then the former. One of these things, is experience. In life as you progress you encounter more situations where without prior experience you are dismissed. This is mainly in the arts/entertainment business where everybody wants you to have experience but nobody is willing to give it to you!

What is this madness?! For years people try to find projects and people of like minded spirit that will carry them over this unforgiving and pointless wall. Whether you're trying to find the perfect voice actors for your animations, musicians for that perfect scene I firmly believe there should be a place to nurture and expose talent and sincere projects to the attention of the right people.

So it's time for me to break open the box and finally reveal the project which I, alongside my friend programmer am undertaking. It is a project that will help gap the dots here on all development sites like gamedev, onrpg, and even here on Newgrounds! Bringing artists together for better products.

Introducing Dreamer Dens!

Dreamer Dens is a website which will offer people with projects a place to post their projects with some details, and artists of all venues will be able to apply for it! Some of the features planned and well on their way is as follows. These are of course the major points, with many dozens of smaller features and details that are not displayed here.

1: Project Submission Form/Page
This is the one of two big pillars of the site. Anybody is allowed to post up a project with positions available that they're seeking to fill. They will be able to send requests to members in a database with showcasing material in the event they want to directly contact members first.

2:Advanced Portfolio/Profile Page
Unlike other sites the profile page on DD will be one of the biggest things the site focuses around. In fact, it is the second large pillar of the site! It will be able to house literature, music, movies (animation and real, trailers etc), voice acting clips, pictures, programs and anything else that people can create. These profiles will behave like your resumes for when an artist applies for a position on a project. Alongside an "available to work" option that will place them in a database for project leaders to find and contact.

3: Advanced Image Theft Protection
One of the most powerful features of DD is the new and exciting protection system that is being developed by the lead programmer. This system will be able to stop print screening, right clicking, image capturing a picture, keeping it safe from unwanted hands.

Every element on this site will of course be have the option of being downloaded for free, with an adjustable creative commons license the user can set to protect or set free the work as they deem fit.

4: Free Resources
Projects built from passion don't have much if any money involved with them. Let's be honest, if we had the money to invest into our dreams we'd do it !right away. As it turns out, that's not the case, so EVERYTHING on this site will always be free! Free open source tools from all over the web, free programs and services to help give you that boost, and free ways to make a little bit of money on the side to help invest in tools. All these methods are personally tested out so not to send you down some spiraling pit of unending torture to get any kind of return on it. I've spent months going through all these methods. Some work, some don't we will let you know they exist and how useful they are to you.

5: Sponsership
As the site advances and funds become readily available, Dreamer Dens will support and finance deserving artists and projects into reaching the end goal.

So what the hell was the point of all this? DD is looking for a Flash Designer to help create the look and feel of the site! We are looking for a talented and dedicated flash designer who has a good understanding of website layout and design and is available to work with us in the next coming months! True to the spirit of the site itself we don't require professional experience or much if any website design experience, but we do ask you prove to us you can handle the job, and well.

What we can offer you?

Compensation:
- We can offer you payment in installments. We cannot offer you all the money upfront. As the site generates revenue (via google ads, sponserships) your payments will be delivered to you. Should the site fail to generate the kind of money agreed upon between you, the artist and us, we will compensate the remainder out of our own pockets.
- You can get a beaming referral on your profile which will generate more work for you! How cool would it be if you could hire MindChamber or Stamper for your own site? It would be something similar except the site will be DD and you will be the artist behind it's visual conception! People would definitely be interested in hiring the artist behind the madness.

What we need from you.
- Site Layout/Design
- Site Logo/Symbol
- Ability to work alongside us for the next 2 or so months
- Ability to work in a reasonable time frame
- Good grasp of site design.

If you are interested please feel free to contact me at selcukbor@gmail.com or send me a pm here on Newgrounds for more details!

xx Martin xx

Sounds cool... I would like to help but I'm not good enough hah

I am not too good at advanced coding,but I always come through in the end ;) so I am here if you or anyone else neds me.

how the hell do you stop print screening?

sounds awesome! good luck, kick in the rear and all that!!! :D

Expect to see me on your site when it's finished.

It sounds like it'll be a great community!!

Oh look...All negative comments got deleted.
WHAT A FRESH PERSPECTIVE ON COMMUNITY WEBSITES YOU HAVE!

1: All these comments entailed that this was a joke. This is not a joke, if you're not interested, keep moving.
2: These comments confused people into thinking that this was a joke.
3: I couldn't care less what you think ;D! I'm not going to let a few comments destroy the focus of this post, if you're not contributing you're not staying around. End of story.

Have a good one.

So what's the go with symphony of spectres? Is this a more community based replacement for SoS or will you have two sites now?
Either way, it sounds cool, and I'll definitely be there to check it out once you launch it.

<3

Looks amazing man, I'll be there.

SoS is down?

When will it return so I can grace the forums with my presence?

I still want to enter, but my music is too calm for madness :<

Good Luck! I dont mind helping in designing logos or banners or something.
Im out of work and have some time. Also I wont charge. Think of something you want and Ill see if I can help. Why dont you have somewhere to upload peoples offerings, Like a comp or something?

I'm good with php programming but not good with getting it to work with flash...

Well, I can't believe it!

Someone else is designing a similar website.

Although you are far ahead of me, I must say. :D

I'm quite the hard-core programmer.

I specialize in web development--I've made websites for fun, haha.

I incorporate mainly CSS and PHP in my web pages and I program them MANUALLY.

I must admit that my one weakness is ActionScript, for though I have been teaching myself it, I do not have much experience.

Is this an urgent request or is there still time to sign up?

PM me if you get the chance.

Thanks and don't break a leg. :P

~Zak

Where did SOS website go!? I HATH BEEN AWAY FOR FAR TOO LONG!

I'm sorry.

You can delete my older post.

On a more productive note I'll ask one of my friends if he'd like to help...I at least know he's very interested in website design and adobe photoshop.

Sounds like an awesome idea, I have experience with site layout/design/logo and such but other's are defenitely more qualified than I am and I'm really looking forward to the site.

Any idea when you might have it up and running? I can just tell that this is gonna be huge, good luck :)
