When we redesigned TORn a few months ago, we did so with the intention of being able to swap out designs with ease. To that end, we were hoping to have Ringer submitted designs that we could occasionally feature. If you are handy with Photoshop/Illustrator and have some free time, we’d love to see what you come up with! The following link will download a .zip file that contains our official logo and a Photoshop file of the site template. The Photoshop file has a layer included that should make the designing process a bit easy. If you don’t know how to handle the Photoshop file, chances are you won’t be able to submit a design! But for those of you who do, give your best shot and send it to me at calisuri@theonering.net. Please include your nickname, the source of the assets (original imagery) you used and if you would like to have your email/website displayed. The TORn staff will choose the best entries and randomly post them on the site. Have fun! [Download the Assets]

The Hollywood actor was preparing for his guest spot on The Graham Norton Show last year with his furry friend in tow, prompting the funnyman to introduce his own dogs to Bloom’s pet. But Norton soon regretted his decision when the actor’s animal bared its teeth and launched a “vicious” attack on his dog Bailey. Orlando Bloom’s dog attacks on TV show
