I got another question: I would really like to see the original images before I have to vote. Wouldn't it be possible to make it kind of a rule to post the originals before voting starts? Doesn't have to be every detail, but the main stuff. It would be helpful to decide wich one should be the winner. 'Cause if you use a great image and just put some kind of writing over it it may look great, but I don't think it deserves to win, 'cause it's kinda cheap...
Of course that rule wouldn't apply if the image's made from scratch!

What do you think? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Other than that I think the wallpaper competition's great fun and Boxie, you're really doing a great job!

I think it is a good idea, it would be easier to vote and to get fair results.

as this actually does sound like a very good idea. let's take the opinion of all members and if the feedback is positive, we can implement this from Week 101 itself

+2. I think that this is actually a good idea. The only thing that I would suggest is that there should be a seperate board, which is attached to the weeks topic, where each competitor can post their originals. This would allow the entry thread to stay to a reasonable size, or else there will be 100 pages of entries to sift through. In simple terms, I suppose it would act like a 'PRE-FINAL' entry thread, where we all post original images. As mom said though, those who created an image from sratch will be excluded from this, unless there have been other images used in conjunction with their created image. In saying this, I would also suggest that any creations made from scratch, have the psp file emailed to boxie, as to be 'Lagitimised'.

Hope this has made sense and am (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumbsup.gif) for the idea.

hmmm....don't you think there would b too many threads if we open another one for this? how about members posting the originals in the final entry thread? or would u prefer it in the general thread?

Sounds like a good idea.
But not in the general thread (to many other postings in there).
Thumbnail postings in the final entry thread would be better. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumbs_up.gif)

Well Its a nice idea to post originals for the work done. But, for those who make abstracts just using brushes n colors.. it wud b unfair... coz we cant show how much of an effort we put in unlike those who post original images.. all we can do is share our .psd files.

If most of use Photoshop, Y not just make it compulsory to share the .psd, tat way we can all judge the work on an equal basis n also suggest improvements more easily since it wud b easy how the participant worked on the image. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
Its only an idea.. i can leave the acceptance thingy to others!! :D

[boxieblue]

adding thumbnails in the final entry thread (attachments, maybe?) sounds like a very good idea

i believe the fact that a participant made an image from scratch itself makes a big impact. so i do think everyone would be judged equally whether they share the PSD or the originals.

let's see what the others have to say (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Agreed. Maybe we could just add the links to the originals in the final...
