attn: GFX ARTISTS!

not sure if most of you konw but i have this website that i've been running for the past 4 yrs, promoting trance with trance graphics. the basic premise is to entice a viewer to take a listen to an edm song by a visually pleasing graphic. my goal is to convert one edm fan at a time...

if any of you guys have ever felt the need for the world to listen to a particular song that you are obsessed with than perhaps you guys could help me? all that i'm asking is for a graphic of your fav trance song, 250x350 pixels in size. with some rules

1. we must both agree on the song. if i feel the song is too weak, i'll dissapprove. no way in hell dj sammy or tiestocle/asot crap is gonna be on my page.

2. graphic must have a feel for the song. if it doesn't, we will collaborate to improve on it. also ur skills must be l337. no n00bl@rs pls!

in return, you are guaranteed that 1200+ ppl will look at your graphic the first few days and i will link back to your site... the first 2 days i put up Thomas Datt Alone, his myspace link got 1200 hits. i also avg about 300-400 hits/day... so your graphic will def be seen.

any ideas?

great idea Pork, i could think of hundreds of songs i'd love to make graphics for!!

i'll have to check my collection when i get home and see if there's any that really stand out.

any limitations on genre?

u have great taste myra so i trust you!

anything goes, house (mylo), trance, prog, vandit, electro BUT NO CHEESE!

but to the others reading.. i will need to approve of the song, to protect the integrity of my website. just b/c you're obsessed with dj sammy's heaven does not make it a great song. but usually if the song is deserving than i am more than happy to oblige!

right now i'm in the process of overhauling my website to incorporate a php/mysql backbone so i can get it trimmed down. right now it's just this huge ugly monster
