If you have an eye for icons, this might be the challenge for you. We need some Achievement icons for the following Cheevos, and we’d like you to help us out. The best designs for each one will go up on the Desert Bus Achievements page for all to see and enjoy.

  • Two Heads Are Better Than One
  • Saturday Morning
  • Ring-ding-dingeringeding!
  • Crash the Gates
  • Dog Catcher
  • We’re Helping!
  • Hot Swap

 

This year’s style is plain white on the blue background, but if you feel like throwing a little accent colour in there, have some fun with it!

Use this image as a background to create your cheevo-specific image.

Greetings Desert Bus fans and viewers!
Graham here, and I need your help! Specifically, with this year’s achievement graphics. Previously, we’ve crowdsourced a number of these graphics during the run itself, but this year—for a variety of reasons—we want to actually have them all ready ahead of time. Shocking, I know.
Below you will find this year’s achievement graphic template. I know it doesn’t look like much now, but that’s what we need you for. This year’s style is plain white on the blue background, but if you feel like throwing a little accent colour in there, have some fun with it!

It’s pretty straightforward, all you have to do is: Take a look at the achievements page, pick the cheevo (or cheevos) you’d like to illustrate, and then send your submission in .png format to [email protected] by midnight on Wednesday, November 13th. I’ll be looking at them all prior to the run, and picking my favourite to go on the page.
I can’t wait to see what you come up with!

After a few all-too-short months of recovery time, the Desert Bus team is getting read to hit the road again! We’re planning lots of great stuff for this year, as always. And also as always, we need your help.

Submit to the Craft-Along:
One of the first things we announce at the start of each year’s preparations is the opening of the Craft-Along. Crafters, start your engines and imaginations, because the Craft-Along is now officially open! To find out how to participate in the Craft-Along, follow this link and read the instructions thoroughly, even if you’ve participated before. This year’s submission form is at the end of the page.

Some changes to note:
As well as an outline of all the usual guidelines, there are a couple of notable changes: the Craft-Along has a submission deadline for proposals this year – you must submit your proposed craft idea by August 1, 2013 in order to be considered. Also, this year we can only accept up to two items per crafter, so think hard about what you would most like to create!

And now, go forth, read the Craft-Along submission guidelines, send in your proposal, and get crafting for the children!
