FaceOff 2005 - Xbox 360 Faceplate Competition

Justin Buser · 28-09-2005, 12:09 AM

Most of us know that the face of the Xbox 360 is customizable - this will be done by swapping faceplates from either Microsoft or a 3rd party. A new website has arisen promoting "Faceoff 2005" - a contest in which you download the faceplate template, create your own, and then submit it for entry.

There is also a nifty slideshow feature that lets you check out some of the entries already submitted for the contest. Apparently a user voting system, so that anyone will be able to vote, will also be implemented soon.

From the website:

Liquids or other signature people....once u download the thing...how do u design the artwork on it?

Liquids · 28-09-2005, 04:49 PM

You download a .psd file (along with others) from that site. From there edit the layer marked "design!" it with Photoshop. Put all created layers below the "Don't touch n00b!" folder. Good luck.

Well, if your design is chosen as the greatest of the lot, then we will send you a faceplate with your winning design on. It will be really nice quality much the same way as Microsoft produce theirs.
Also in the goodie bag with be other bits picked up along the way, promo stuff, badges, posters and other bits.

It's in the Rules and Regs file.
