In other words what im asking is if we added a character to the design, does it have to be our own character that we drew in photoshop?
Also you say your looking for a design for
your programs. Is there perhaps any other things that you would like to see in the design besides the colors?....like your name or the pikachu character on your pic?
Nice job trying to keep this section alive by the way

Basically, by rip offs is that I mean you can't just go and download a set and use it as your own. You can't just take the set and change the hue to something different and call it yours. You can take the main programming for the setup and then reinvent the graphical design to something better though.
Say someone had a button, that button was flat and black, they then gave it dimension and shade so it looked professional, that would be an example of recreating it and is acceptable.
Taking the flat and black design and making it blue however is against my rules.
Taking renders of other images however is alright, but I wouldn't say adding pikachu to a design is professional as professional is key to winning it.
Basically, I'm not going to be the only one judging, I am going to hand it off to some others to rate so it won't be just my word.
I gave two examples that I would prefer, you can go with anything you wish.
