Coming Soon....

[editor]

Watch this space for fun challenges and contests, complete with prizes.
It's a little early to give away any details yet, but watch for our first contest coming soon with a very cool prize!

[Foxhound]

I think it's a great idea to have challenges and whatnot. Only I hope this site will develope it's own unique style and not copycat those OTHER challenges. Nothing wrong with the other sites and what they offer up for challenges but who want's more of the same 'ol same 'ol ?

Let's be different !

[Wendy]

Interesting point Foxhound ... so you don't think it should be a Graphic Art Challenge or a Photography Challenge.

What sort of challenge would you suggest?


Wendy

[editor]

How about "most unusual use for a tool" or "most creative use of the Pencil tool"?
:D

[Wendy]

Well ... that is such a good suggestion ... when I have stopped laughing I will try to think of a creative use of the pencil tool :) :)


:)

:)

Haven't stopped yet :)

Wendy

[Foxhound]

Perhaps an exercise in both catagories would work. For example, making a rather overweight person look believably thinner and visa-versa. Create an advertisement for an orange juice company that would require shooting, or creating, the subject matter. How 'bout creating a web page banner for "Acme widgets Inc"

The skys the limit. Just be unique in our challenges.

[Jodi Frye]

I'm all for anything....don't care as long as the ideas are fair game.

[Jodi Frye]

how do you spell ooouuuuhhh, anyways....a wacom tablet appears to be first prize. Good Luck everybody ! :mrgreen:

[kerriann85]

Apparently "the challenge" is known only to subscribers. (Got to pay to play.) Will we poor people/casual users at least get to know who wins and what their "creation" looked like?

Wendy

I definitely agree that the challenge shouldn't be Graphic Art or Photography... Perhaps it could be something that would benefit everyone like compose an original tutorial, with the winning work being featured with the other tutorials on the site :?:

Mike

[Jodi Frye]

say what ? No graphic art or photography ?? :shock:

[MikeH]

Jody,

I take it there will be a number of challenges :?: Do you not think it would be good to make one or more of them not just another graphic art or photography contest, but on a theme that still relates to graphic art / photography / Elements :?: :)

Mike

[Wendy]

Jodi,

You missed something in this thread ...


Wendy

[Jodi Frye]

Wendy, indeed :lol:


re; challenge

I'll submit a pic of myself and we can have a ' virtual Swan ' challenge;

MAKE ME BEAUTIFUL !

Of course I am only kidding....no way i would submit a mugly of myself...but it is an idea....to beautify something that is ugly in every sense of the word

[Wendy]

Jodi,

I well remember turning you into a Princess when it was your birthday :)


Wendy

[Jodi Frye]

Wendy, ah yes, i do remember...but you didn't fix my nose ! Thanks for the boobs tho ! :mrgreen:

[Wendy]

Jodi,


Sorry .... will do the nose job for your next birthday :) :) :)



Wendy

[Grant]

Jodi

Becareful of what you ask for do you remember how I change you on a dare.

:lol:

Grant

[kerriann85]

Maybe you guys and gals all know about this site but I just discovered it yesterday. The gender changes of celebs is a hoot!
Maybe you can have some sort of challenge where Jodi and Grant get "combined"? www.worth1000.com
:lol:

[Jodi Frye]

it would not be a challenge...we combine each other all the time. :lol:

[Grant]

Yup we are a regular Yin and Yang! Jodi is woman and I am man. She has hair and I don't. She has a nice shape and my shape is round. She is artistic and I am not. She is good and I am .... how the heck did I ever get into this conversation ...

Never mind .....

Grant

[Jodi Frye]

..." she is good and I am better....because of her "


is that what you meant to say ? You are too kind to me Grant...considering I was chosen as best candidate for a TBM by the National School of Cosmetic Surgery.

this thread has flown way off course...

challenges, hmmmm<thinking>

how about a challenge where we are limited in the tools we use ?

like give me a hammer and some rope and tell me to build a house....photoshop style of course... I know, that is ridiculous.

[MikeH]

Anyway getting back to it...

When do we find out what the challenge is?

Mike

[Wendy]

Mike,

I guess we are just waiting to see ... shouldn't be long now.

You could take part in "The Challenge" whilst you are waiting.

[MikeH]

Kerri

I've just been checking out the other entries... :oops: :shock:

Is there a booby prize?

Mike

[Grant]

Mike

I suspect looking at the present subject there will be lots of prize boobies. Can't believed stooped that low for a pun. :shock:

Grant

[Wendy]

Groan :) :)

Wendy

[Jodi Frye]

Wendy

[MikeH]

Wendy,

Thanks :)

I will try to get an entry in to this weeks challenge, busy week at work though :(

I've seen your cover up version... :( :( :( ( very good really :) )

Mike

[Grant]

Wendy's cover up version does prove that cloths make the man .... ah ... but do less for the woman!

Grant

Now back to posting last nights entries ....

[Wendy]

Mike ... Taking part in the Challenge is a fun thing so you don't have to spent a lot of time on it. I do have to admit that the more you do the quicker you get ... :)

Grant ... I did try to make her a skirt but it looked awful ... so I made her a swim suit instead.
