About TGS

TGS means "The Gift Shop", a local graphics site, which has the logo of a gift item (Gift Box, Gift Bag, etc.) with the letters/initials of "TGS" on it...remarkably easy to spot if you know where and what to look for.

F.A.Q.

Will you make me a graphic?
Sure, no problem! Just be sure to remember to NeoMail me with the GRF (Graphic Request Form).

Can I be your NeoFriend?
Sure, especially if we've met somewhere!

Do you like pie?
It depends what kind. NEXT QUESTION!!! Please? xD

Up to how many requests can I give you?
At a time, 3. This may gradually change higher or lower depending on my schedule (RL and all).

That's not a question. *pulls trap door lever*

History

Even though TGS isn't exactly an ideal graphic site or one of the greats, it always had a humble beginning, which everyone, sometimes even me, loses sight of. TGS was founded on the 21st of May, 2009. Before TGS was founded, it was first Belle's art, which was hosted by Xweety_chirka's page. Then after a kind owner (you know who you are) let me adopt Cookie, I started to host Belle's art on his page. Then after streaming through many graphics sites and trying them for myself, I realized it was so much fun! I decided to have a graphics site as well. A name, I needed a name. Most sites have a name. The Goodie Box? Taken. The Goodie Shop? Not very original. The Gift Emporium? Doesn't excite me. The Gift Palace? Kinda cheap. The Gift Store? It could be better. Until finally, I decided to name it The Gift Shop! After that, I started working on the layouts...until I realized I fail at them. I looked around for some layouts. Kitty's CSS is always reliable, but due to filter problems, I couldn't use them. Then I streamed through her affies, and their affies, and their affies' affies. Until finally, I came across Exclusive. Beautiful CSS, and filter-proof too. Then, I started making content...then after everything was set up, I started advertising. Why not join me on a board?

Request?

Wanna request for a graphic? You can read the form and type it yourself or copy and fill in the pretyped form below.

If you'd like to see the mechanics, ideals and content of the form, read the following lesso- er, I mean explanation of that.

Greeting (Optional)
Mmmkay, this is pretty much up to you whether you want to put a greeting, small talk, a little friendly chatter it's still up to you. Though I would appreciate it ;D

Your name
It's pretty self-explenatory, but for the 'fun' of it, I'll explain anyway:
Just type in your screen name, your username or whatever's the name you want me to address you as.

What kind of Graphic do you want
This is the part where you can request what kind of graphic(s) you want. Maximum for a request at a time is 3. See the right sidebar for a list of graphics you can request for and find here; Try not to request for a layout...I'm horrible at them, thus I use premades D:

When do you need it
This is the deadline of your graphic, if you have a specific date/time for it to be used/needed. You can put there a date (10/10/09, October 12, 2009, etc.), another format of telling time like 'tomorrow', 'next week' or just 'none' if you don't need it on a particular date.

Any Specific Details
If you'd like any particular image, shape, fonts, design or anything specific you want to touch up your graphic.

Theme
Would you like it Haunted Woods Style, or a Xweetox Theme or a clouds theme, whatever you want the main pictures and text to revolve around (this will also help me estimate the color scheme)

Size
Would you like it button size (88x31), pixel (roughly 50x50) or whatever size you'd like.

Text
Okay, I don't know if I really need to explain this, but I'll do it anyway. This is the part where you can choose what the text (if there is any) will say, the position of the text, the font style, color, etc. Anything that has to do with the text you want me to put on your graphic.

Any other things you want to include
Any other things you'd like to include to the request that isn't mentioned in the form (yes, this is different from the specific details ;P)
