UPDATE:
The competition is over, Laimonas171 has won 30M and earned every gold piece!
Thanks to everyone who participated!

Okay, let's get to it.
I have absolutely NO skill what so ever in photoshop or gimp, and urgently need someone to make a YouTube channel design and theme for me.

It'll be among the Lockpicking/DIY/Knife/Survival type channels, so the design of the channel needs to have that sort of feel.
Not kinda just… Locks and keys in the backgrounds, but… a certain feel to it.
I'll try to explain better what I mean:

Lockpicking = How to pick, how to make the tools, and just me picking random locks I have.
DIY: Making air rifles out of scrap and that sort of thing. Inventing things out of stuff I have laying around. Could be based of games or what ever.
Knives: Collecting knives and giving reviews and opinions. (cutlerylover for example)
Survival: What wild foods to eat and avoid, ect

If you're unsure please, feel more than welcome to ask some questions! And better yet, send me some samples and I can give you some feedback.

I'll end the competition on:
Fri 30-Nov-2012 06:0 P.M
Australian/Brisbane time.

The reward will be 20 mill RSGP!
Don't take it to heart if I reject your submission, it'd probably be awesome, but just not what I'm looking for.

Thanks very much for participating, may the best man win!

I don't want to make you a design etc but I'm more than happy to help you with some DIY stuff :)

Il give this a try! Ask laimonas171 and Wishlah. Even Euph if he is free. :D

When you say DIY you mean Manly work? :P Or just Do it yourself in general

Oh wait, I misread that as you helping me with the photoshop scenario.
Sure, I'd love some assistance, it's amazing what an extra mind can do to construction. And you seem especially bright.

Sorry, I'm too respectful to people. They think I have an ulterior motif… I'll try to play it down.
Thanks buddy. I'll message you when I'm stumped

Sorry for the double post…
But woo! Three people are in!

Woo! Thanks buddy!

I'm sorry but I'm still confused. What exactly is this competition about. I'm sorry but I prefer asking then not knowing. I could read the OP but I can't understand exactly what you want.

Sorry, I was on medication that makes me a bit dopey.

I'd like a nice, and relateable theme to the videos I'd be doing.
For example, something like this, but not that, as it looks horrible.

I'm just kinda paying someone 10m gp for the best youtube layout to go with the theme of my videos (lockpicking, DIY ect) that someone creates.

If anyone has anymore questions, please ask!

Can I send you things for feedback or can I only make one submission?

Sure, that's actually a brilliant idea!

Just an update.
The competition ends on:
Fri 30-Nov-2012 06:0 P.M
Australian/Brisbane time.

Showing samples for feedback would greatly increase chances of winning.
The winner will instead be awarded 20m.

Right, now I am officially getting started on this :p 30th right? I might make it!

That's awesome, I can't wait to see what you'll produce!

Update 2:
Extra credit will be given for a "Display picture" and a sort of unique "logo".
Also, I should probably add that this is my YouTube channel here.

:D i'm already here :DD muahahaaa :D though..
what style do u use?
edit: old one or new one. also you are "partner" of youtube? do you have fancy staff above your channel information (facebook,twiters etc… )

Youtube has old and new styles

New website style:

New website style + partnership extra space:

not able to find old style, probably they are outdated. ( i had options to choose what i want to use once)

Oh god, sorry man, I was unsure as to what you meant.
I have the top one as I'm not a YouTube partner yet… Or do you not have to be one to get the second design?

You have to be partner to get extra space above. though, if I win I can update it to top one if it will be in few month period (maybe and after no promises) :D

Ok, You color you desire to be as main, 2 colors should be it's better if you choose, close colors or opposite colors. so it should look nicer to eye. (also don't forget that YouTube uses balck/grey as main color, which you are not able to change. Just saying :D

also maybe you want to provide more information what exactly should be at Background, or what symbols/sign/text/logos etc.. should be included. :)

I thought that might be the case… It seems I'll need some help with bot proxies and bots to get partnership!
But that sounds good buddy!

Oh man, I have absolutley NO idea when it comes to this stuff. I just see something and I like it or I don't. That's why I'm leaving this entirely up to you guys to do it. Sorry I can't be of any help.

Ask me to make a machine that doesn't exist, I'll have it working in a week.
Ask me to choose colours that go with the theme of a youtube channel and I'm WAY out of my element.

Exactly! A blank canvas!
But I can't stress enough that the theme NEEDS to go with the theme of the videos.
Take your time, there's no rush!
Good luck with your exam!

Ah damn, sorry man. I gotta learn to explain what this means, this stuff is normal to me. When I'm on YouTube this is the sort of stuff I'm looking at.

Lockpicking = How to pick, how to make the tools, and just me picking random locks I have.

DIY: Making air rifles out of scrap and that sort of thing. Inventing things out of stuff I have laying around. Could be based of games or what ever.

You can check this style out (uploaded to that channel for testing purposes) if I win it will be removed from there :)

edit:at new youtube style (if I can call it new) you can not personalize so much anymore.. :? because middle area is not transparent. and you have to fit in this borders.. though got nice minimalism background Lockpicking/DIY/Knife themes. (have no idea how to include survival) though. this background will look nicely on most of resolutions. fits YouTube default style.

Dude, that looks really, really good! I'm very impressed!
If you could add a few more things in the background and make the colour to something like… Maybe slightly rusted and bolted together… Or something like that.
I dunno man, this is just off the top of my head. But what you have so far looks brilliant!

Hmm, Im just wondering. If the channel is supposed to be about overall things mentioned in the OP, wouldn't specific objects limit the artistic view? But that would also mean a general background would have no artistic view…So im guessing you want an abstract one? But that would make no sense because I just put that into your head now…Jesus Im losing it :D

So…What doooo you want?

Plus like Laims said(right?), the middle part would be covered, so many objects would give a congested feeling.

Its probably just me…FML

I'm not completely sure I got when you meant…
You asking about the things in the middle unable to be seen?
That's no problem, just things on the outside of the channel like he showed is more than adequate.

Na, what I meant is, say it was abstract. Then Id do something like this. It is what I have so far: https://www.youtube.com/user/joeygupta

Ohhh okay, sorry man.
Although it looks absolutely brilliant and something I couldn't do in a million years… I feel that it would be more suitable for a music or gaming channel.

Exactly, so do you want something specific to lockpicking and DIY stuff? I think I could put together something totally rad if I keep just those two. Or any two, I just don't know about keeping too many things, or it takes away from the base meaning of the image.

So if you had to choose 2 things out of DIY, Lockpicking and Survival, what would they be?

PS: Don't worry, Ill still try to incorporate everything, if possible, or at least give a feel for everything. :D

Peace. Gn for now lol.

Okay, I understand what you mean now!
I'd kinda like my channel theme to be specific to mainly DIY and lockpicking. If nothing else can be added without making the theme look like a collsge of pictures, then just the DIY and locking will do!

No worries! It takes me a little while to understand the questions… Man, I wish we could have voice replies. It would be much easier.
Have fun and good luck!

I understand about the images that you might want. But is there a specific color background you want it to have or a specific shape/patters. I mean like I would try my best to make it but if I can't I'll change it to something similar.
BTW, What is the name of your Channel. If you don't want to say it here, you can PM me the name.

Brilliant news!

Update:
30M to the first person who can come up with a design that fits the description and I find adequate.
You have 2 hours to make 30M.
BUT, there is no guarantee that there'll be a winner in the two hours, as I'll need to be so impressed that I think it's perfect.

You have two hours, GO!

Aww, at school now. GL guys
