1. Minecraft IGN / Age:
FlamingUber/16
2. Position applying for:
Designer
3. What's your favorite color?:
I like a blue/green or blue/silver mix.
4. Timezone (please use GMT if you live outside of the United States):
GMT +2:00:00 (I used to live in the U.S. so I visit there often and will be there for two months in the summer.
5. Previous work (please include links if possible!):
I have done a bit of website coding, but I must say am not an expert. The main reason I decided to apply is for my graphics coding. I am a decent graphic designer and know how to make dynamic images. I will post some links at the end of the application.
6. What are your areas of expertise?:
I'd say I'm quite good at PHP (I understand CSS and HTML but don't always remember the format and exact terms) and, like I just said, dynamic image coding. I'm also (I hope :p) a rather good graphic designer. I will show you some of my works in additional info.
7. Additional info you would like to tell us?:
I think I could start some nice dynamic sigs going. If I am given the resources, I could start some sigs that show user's stats. They just has to specify their username and it will do everything else dynamically. I used to play a game called uberstrike and started a group called DyNFO. I will post some specific images of our dynamic sigs.
We parse the data off pages like these for each individual (my profile page i.e.):
http://uberstrike.cmune.com/Profile?cmid=631163

This shows the amount of Sniper kills, Splatter Gun kills, and Global Rank of the player who requested the sig.

These are two sigs where the user only needs to type their cmid after the ?cmid= to have the sig adapt to their specific stats.

This one is my best and favorite. It is a completely dynamic sig. The stats on the middle section are centered dynamically. The level bar shows the progress between my levels. I could definitely apply the level bar to hero levels if given the resources.

I can pretty much make anything possible through these dynamic sigs!

I hope you like what you see and consider me for the team!

Last Edit: Occurred to me to add my graphic works. Laid out everything to be easier to read overall.

Of course! Just to be more clear - other than the dynamic sig that says Flamingdevastation, the other dynamic images were not actually made by me, just the coding. All the image links I provided were 100% made by me.

Well, I guess to prove that I can make dynamic sigs that aren't static, here's an example. Took me a while to make Due to the way the forum profile's layouts are set up, but not longer than an hour of coding. If given the right resources, I could make these type of sigs but for in-game stats.

I also made it so you can specify who's stats the sig displays so that anyone can use it and you can see it's really dynamic. You just need to type your username and your ID in order for it to display.
For example (taking some random top posters):
Yours is:
http://dynfosig.com/fd/hcforum/dynfo.png?name=kainzo&id=1
Mine is:
http://dynfosig.com/fd/hcforum/dynfo.png?name=flaminguber&id=10971
Etkenn's is:
http://dynfosig.com/fd/hcforum/dynfo.png?name=etkenn&id=7385
Angyle's is:
http://dynfosig.com/fd/hcforum/dynfo.png?name=angyles&id=7534
Neotetro's is:
http://dynfosig.com/fd/hcforum/dynfo.png?name=neotetro&id=3070
And Xanipher's is:
http://dynfosig.com/fd/hcforum/dynfo.png?name=xanipher&id=34

Each of the sigs parse the data dynamically from each player's profile page. Then, it finds the size of the text, and centers the text according to the size.

I do like the signature stuff - very "minecrafty" feel :)

Our design team isnt a "Super harsh deadline" team... it's more - design what you can/when you can and if a project is up, we'll be hitting designers up hard :)
