This comp will be run on the *date to be confirmed* for 2 weeks in which time the participants are expected to finish all the tasks in order to be judged. All art team members who do not enter risk being demoted, and all non art team have the chance to become green. I have sorted out all the tasks, which will be displayed here at a later date (these are open to change so if you have any recommendations then pm me).

All are welcome to participate, don't worry about skill to much, we also look for the determination to complete it in the time provided.

Current list of participants:
-Slim hacker
-Treemty
-Bhawan (possible)
-Me (I guess)
-All of current art team who wana keep the rank (so far darkhawken and phenomenalDesigns have shown interest, Luke possible??)
-~:Dhruv:~
-gamerdude767
-Elitegamer83
-W-Gaming5
-kewlhotrod
-ra1n (pretty sure you're in the art team)
-Blazinkaos

if you are not on that list and want to enter, don't fret. That list was only to get the required support to host this and you can just post your entry's when the time comes.

Get your art skills up to scratch guys and watch this space for further updates.

Mega update:
It begins today, this thread is now just for information and questions on the competition. To post your entry go to this thread https://www.acidmods.com/forum/index.php?topic=31258.0 (entrys can be posted one task at a time and you can change your entry as much as you like until the closing date)

TASKS:

Task one:
design a signature and avatar combo for mactastic mendez
Theme: Freestyle (what ever takes your interest, or you think robin would like. Obviously with mactasic mendez in it) ((HINT: https://www.acidmods.com/forum/index.php?topic=30283.msg224186#msg224186))

Task two:
make a pc desktop wallpaper and a itouch wallpaper which compliment each other but are not exactly the same. (do some research to find out the appropriate sizes)
Theme: Acidmods, points for creativity (remember it doesn't have to be modded consoles)

Task three:
Mock up a acidmods forum page completely from scratch, this should include a unique banner.
Theme:err acidmods

Task four:
make a mock up of a electronic item, eg. computer, tv (can we please have no ipods this time, be creative). Built from scratch, no templates/images which were not created by you. I wan't to see your use of gradients and shapes. !!UN MERGED PROJECT FILES WILL NEED TO BE PMed TO ME!!
Theme: Your choice

I think that is enough. Keep it all appropriate for a family forum. Try not to use tutorials, if you do then post a link to it with your entry. If a art team individual has a valid reason for not entering please PM me if you want to keep your green.

Tasks must be completed within 2 weeks from June 26, 2009, 09:12:28 (forum time).

Luke · « **Reply #15 on:** June 27, 2009, 01:36:24 AM »

I will not be entering.

robin1989 · « **Reply #16 on:** June 27, 2009, 01:39:48 AM »

that sucks bhawan. if you want you can still do it when you get back - you wont be entered to the competition but you will be able to be assessed for art team.

btw it appears ghost has chose a sig and avi for me for task one so if oyu want to know the sort of stuff i like here is a topic from a while ago where i requested a signature. https://www.acidmods.com/forum/index.php?topic=30283.msg224186#msg224186

Mystike · « **Reply #17 on:** June 27, 2009, 08:26:21 AM »

I'd like to enter, but I have a question. For task four, does the mockup have to be an actual or item? Like, could I mock up a next gen DS?

yup, go ahead. I added something to task for the project files will need to be pmed to me only for task four. eg .psd or .xcf

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #20 on:** June 27, 2009, 06:31:56 PM »

Ok this should be interesting. Now do we save the psd file.

GhoSt · « **Reply #21 on:** June 27, 2009, 07:04:00 PM »

just don't merge any layers if possible, and when saving the final image save it both as a .psd and a .png

kewlhotrod · « **Reply #22 on:** June 27, 2009, 07:05:57 PM »

I always merge my layers when I finish, unless it's a huge task.

The ones I've already done have the layers already merged. Hope that's not a problem. :/

Pointless ?

kewlhotrod · « **Reply #24 on:** June 27, 2009, 09:31:07 PM »

What?

GhoSt · « **Reply #25 on:** June 27, 2009, 09:34:45 PM »

just save the psd first then merge the layers and export as a .png, It is only vital for the task 4

kewlhotrod · « **Reply #26 on:** June 27, 2009, 09:43:12 PM »

Absolutely. Sorry I didn't think of that beforehand.

I just merge my layers out of habit, as soon as I'm done with a certain section.

Won't do so for the 4th one, however.

Luke · « **Reply #27 on:** June 28, 2009, 03:09:51 AM »

I am saying it is pointless.
What happens if you wanted to work on it more etc.

kewlhotrod · « **Reply #28 on:** June 28, 2009, 05:42:46 PM »

A lot of the stuff I do in Photoshop requires me to work with multiple layers combined, (A.K.A merged), so I merge them. I know there are alternate routes, but that's the habit/path I've gotten used to.

Luke · « **Reply #29 on:** June 28, 2009, 08:05:22 PM »

Or you could convert them to a Smart Object.
Basically merging them, but you can still export the layers from it.

kewlhotrod · « **Reply #30 on:** June 28, 2009, 08:25:30 PM »

Like I said, there's many ways to do it. I can convert them to a smart object, apply the same effects to the layers separately, highlight the layers and do it that way... I just don't.

It's not the way I learned, and I'm in a habit. xD

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #33 on:** June 30, 2009, 07:17:24 PM »

Ok cool hope to get done on time.

GhoSt · « **Reply #34 on:** July 02, 2009, 08:10:53 PM »

Arg I got family coming over to stay for the holidays and am going away, I should still be able to run this but Im not going to enter anymore.

If for some reason I am unable to continue running this without warning robin can you take charge?

DarkHawken · « **Reply #35 on:** July 03, 2009, 01:33:37 AM »

You say that you dont want ipods, do we get marked down for having an ipod. 'cos i had a good idea for an ipod render.

Can we do a different apple product?

GhoSt · « **Reply #36 on:** July 03, 2009, 02:07:14 AM »

just no ipods this time round, thats what everyone did last time using tutorials, A different apple product will be fine, except not a iphone.

Btw: Ra1n has been excused from doing this as she has provided a valid excuse.
