Author Topic: Artathlon To Decide the Two Team Leaders (Read 12894 times)

robin1989 · « **on:** July 02, 2008, 07:01:00 PM »

hey guys are you ready to find out what you need to do to become one of the team leaders for the art section. where it will be your duty to spur on the art team and think up challenges and competitions to not only get the artistic juices of the team flowing but to also atract new artists and make the site and section welcomeing to new people. it will be your job to think up ideas for projects, get the team to help other people out etc. now that you know what your role will be you shall no see what it is you need to do. (its changed a bit since my idea in the sotw post)

there will be a total of 4 tasks as we want dedication and people who can give the time to the site.

each task will be a different form with a different theme.

Task 1

A sig and avatar combo. to be branded to begin with but to be unbranded so that anyone can use it after all entrys have been recieved.

size
avatar 100x100
sig 500x200

Theme = Peace/love & War or a loose aproximation to the theme i.e. good vs bad

Task 2

two wallpapers.to be branded to begin with but to be unbranded so that anyone can use it after all entrys have been recieved.

size = 1440x900 (sorry i got it wrong before lol but its right now)

Theme = two of the following movies - han:censored:, wanted, kungfu panda, wall-e, cars, iron-man, hulk or toy story

Task 3

a banner.to be branded to begin with but to be unbranded so that people can use it after all entrys have been recieved.

size
900x200

theme = an acidmods forum (look at the top for the curent one) banner. to include all the major consoles pictured, and one or both of out slogans - "live in your world mod in ours" or "Where Consoles Evolve"

can be animated must be under 200k

you may also submit an optional extra that is the same dimentions etc but can be under 1mb so that you may show off all your talents with photoshop

Possible Task 4

Will be a joint task where two people will pair up from the people who enter and work on a joint peice of art. so way 6 people enter those 6 will pair off into 3 groups of two. the theme and details of task 4 will be anounced after all entrys from the first 3 tasks are complete.

Well i hope you guys enjoy the competition and the production of the art and the warm good feeling that comes of it.

closing dat is 12/7/08 22:00 GMT

YOU WILL MAKE ONE POST IN THIS TOPIC WHICH SAY IN CAPITALS ON THE FIRST LINE "MY ENTRY" AND YOU WILL EDIT THAT POST FOR YOUR ENTRY. PLEASE MAKE THEM SOON SO THAT ALL THE ENTRYS ARE CLOSE TOGETHER - THEN YOU CAN ASK QUESTIONS

FAQ

-- branded as in your name on it? (english is not my native language )

branded means you put your forum name on it to show that you have done it and after the competition is finished you will remove that so or if its a sig change it to "acidmods member".

-- about the 4th task - what if there will be 7 people or 9? will there be 1 3 man team, or 1 will do it alone?

if there is not an even number of aplicants i will think of something.

-- can i change my entry later?

as long as the change is made prior to the closing date then you will definably be able to do that.

BUMP

5 days left till it endsand the 4th task is revealed - all 3 other entrys must be in to qualify for 4th task

Chase · « **Reply #14 on:** July 08, 2008, 03:22:39 PM »

why isnt it jsut a week for entrys I jsut realised it wasnt lol

and why hasnt anyoen else entered, theres hardly any contenders =[ and like noone has done all 3 tasks, it makes me sad =[

Also *bump* it should be at the top

robin1989 · « **Reply #15 on:** July 08, 2008, 03:55:50 PM »

yeh so far chase your the only guy to have submitted every entry. vox, 4dp and gameking are getting close to having all entrys but we really could do with some more entrys - i think you have about 4 days left

VoX · « **Reply #16 on:** July 08, 2008, 05:56:14 PM »

I've completed all of mine but I'm working on another wallpaper, I'll upload them soon

nez · « **Reply #17 on:** July 09, 2008, 12:44:14 AM »

yea i got two for the movie i need to get done. but i should have it all completed soon.

robin1989 · « **Reply #18 on:** July 09, 2008, 04:03:02 AM »

maybe if i lifted the size restriction on the banner some more people would enter as they would need to worry less about what they can do? what do you guys think?

Chase · « **Reply #19 on:** July 09, 2008, 04:32:28 AM »

yes, theres not much you can animate at that size to keep within the restrictions, well in my opinion anyway. For example compare the 3 banners I've posted.

VoX · « **Reply #20 on:** July 09, 2008, 04:34:41 AM »

I made mine around those restrictions, I think it adds to the contest to see what we can make with what we have. I think you should keep it in

Chase · « **Reply #21 on:** July 09, 2008, 04:35:32 AM »

but at teh same time you cannot show your true potential

robin1989 · « **Reply #22 on:** July 09, 2008, 05:23:14 AM »

i have an idea then - to make it a bit harder lol and to let me see whaat everyone is capable of.

you guys have an option. you have to do a banner that is under 200kb to show that you can work within limits. but i will allow you guys to have an optional second one to show off everything you can think of in PS in the banner which must be under 1mb that is the only restriction

platinumc · « **Reply #23 on:** July 09, 2008, 10:54:18 AM »

i think im gonna have to cancel out, cause im too busy irl atm....

but im not sure

robin1989 · « **Reply #24 on:** July 09, 2008, 11:22:15 AM »

just give it a try and do what you can. the main exercise of this was to spur people to do art. and it seems to have worked

Chase · « **Reply #25 on:** July 10, 2008, 07:43:02 AM »

2 days left and only 2 entrants have finished completely D:

robin1989 · « **Reply #28 on:** July 13, 2008, 03:31:00 PM »

well it would appear that chase has pulled out or disapeared and that leaves 3 people who fully entered which isnt really enougth for either task 4 (joint task) or to make a fair decision as to the two art team leaders so for now its to be left in limbo

well robin wants to have more people to consider for the position so your post invalid lol

also guys learn to resize your pics

img width=600 /img

those are the img tags you put in for any pics just add the width

VoX · « **Reply #34 on:** July 17, 2008, 03:30:08 AM »

Where did Robin say this? There is no record of it? If so, Does that mean others can change there enteries

4dP · « **Reply #35 on:** July 17, 2008, 03:33:44 AM »

I'd request an extension on the deadline for this thign jsut to give everyone a chance to get some entries in so that we can bring the art baclk to acidmods.

I mean Pax only got photoshop a couple of days vefore teh end, DVL9 wasnt active enough to see it and that Jade person hadn't jopined until it had ended.

If not ten thats fine too, Just to give more friendly competition. ^_^

Surely you have enough faith in your own work to not need to change it?

robin1989 · « **Reply #37 on:** July 17, 2008, 03:03:12 PM »

ok 2 day extension from now

Chase · « **Reply #38 on:** July 17, 2008, 03:05:05 PM »

Right guys you've been giving the chance so get your entrys in

DarkHawken · « **Reply #39 on:** July 23, 2008, 01:14:02 PM »

Hi, well I know this artathlon has ended but as I just got photohop, I wanted to have something to make so I decided to make the task 1
Its the peace/love vs war task
Its my first sig on photoshop, please let me know what you like/dont like and how it can be improved.
Thanks

robin1989 · « **Reply #40 on:** July 24, 2008, 12:13:24 PM »

i declare Chase and 4dP the winners of the artathlon and therefore the two new art team leaders who's duty it is to think up and complete art projects with the help of all art team members and anyone else who would like to partake, it is there duty to spur creativity within the art team and to push them to there full potential.

platinumc · « **Reply #41 on:** July 24, 2008, 08:38:50 PM »

gz to you 2

VoX · « **Reply #42 on:** July 24, 2008, 11:04:31 PM »

Good job but isn't Chase (Being Indy) already a leader?

robin1989 · « **Reply #43 on:** July 25, 2008, 01:32:43 AM »

no as indy when left gave up his position hence why he still had to enter this to pass

VoX · « **Reply #44 on:** July 25, 2008, 01:35:47 AM »

I see, Good work guys!

Chase · « **Reply #45 on:** July 25, 2008, 09:47:05 AM »

A foregone result based on many things, if i do say so myself.
