The current form is, I think, wayy too restricting for the people actually making the requests, and sometimes the people making the requests don't really know what it means.

Old one:
Text on Image:
Specific Images (You MUST provide a direct link):
Color Scheme:
Size (You MUST provide an accurate size):
Type of Graphic (Logo, button, pip, etc):
Any Preference on how the image is constructed/made? (If yes, say what):
What you don't want on your image:
Other Comments:

New one:

What text do you want?:
Any pictures you suggest we use?:
What colours? Light or dark?
What do you want to use it for? (sig, avatar, wallpaper, website banner etc.):
Anything you don't want on your image?:
Any other comments?:

Thoughts?

Please excuse the furtive bump <.<. I guess this could go to the suggestion box but its uberly trivial.

The only thing is that maybe Color Scheme or something along the lines of Mood should go in the new form. It's a little confusing when you have no idea what you want the finished product to be like, plus it invites things like "It's ok, can you make it a little darker?" or "Hmm I was hoping it'd be blue."

Good plan ^_^.

I agree with mt. It would be much easier this way. Especially since some newbies get confused with the complicated request form as it stands.

[Quoth the Raven]

Hmm, maybe the "type of graphic" could be changed to "what do you want?" and put at the top. The term "type of graphic" is apparently always a bit confusing, and there's no direct way to state literally "what you want."

[mtbanger]

I thought of that, but I reckon saying "what do you want?" would be invitation to just lump everything together in that category, which is what we don't want xD.

True... *tries to think of an alternative* How about changing "type" to "What do you need it for?"

[mtbanger]

Good idea. New form is in the OP.

I think this is a good idea I'll talk it over with Anya and Allison.

I'm all for it. There's way too many nitpicky things on the old request form, and that makes it much easier to use and understand.
I'd suggest changing the colors one to "Any specific colors/mood?" instead, so that way it sounds more like it's not mandatory that you have an exact idea for the colors, and if you don't know what colors you need but know what kind of feel you want for it, you can put that instead.

Okay, so any last comments before I go and change it?

The way I'll post it now will be:
