CoS Graphics Contest v.14 - NEW rules

Welcome to CoS Graphics Contest



http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e174/cosgraphics/cosbannersi9.png


General Rules:
changed in November 7th, 2008!!!



The following rules apply to all sections of the graphics contest:



Each week a number of challenges will be presented.
You may enter as many challenges as you wish.
All graphics must be your own original work. You may use pre-bases though.
All graphics must abide CoS Forums family friendly rules. (http://www.cosforums.com/showthread.php?t=22999) Violation of these rules will be reported promptly.
Images may be any shape provided they are within the Size Guidelines (see below).
You may include brushes, textures, text, etc., unless otherwise told.
You may animate, unless otherwise told.




Challenges:


Theme Challenges:

The Theme Challenges include three categories, based on their size (see Size Guideline):
- Theme Avatar
- Theme Signature
- Theme Banner



The same rules apply to all three categories, the only difference is the size of the image.
There will be different subjects for each category.
You may make one entry for each category.
The winner of each category will be able to suggest the subject for the next week. When you post an entry for a Theme Challenge, please write what subject you would like to use for that category if your entry is voted the winner.
If the winner fails to provide a subject for the next week, the maintainers will choose.



NEW Base Challenge:

The Base Challenge involves making a graphic using the image provided as a starting point. The size of the graphics is avatar, unless otherwise stated.


You must use the image that is provided.
The image may need to be cropped and/or resized.

You may make one icon. Text may be used, but is not required.
You may not use any other images besides those already in the graphic.

The winner of the Base Challenge will be able to choose a base that will be used in the future. The winner will have one week to choose a good quality Harry Potter related picture and send it via owl to one of the maintainers.
If the winner fails to provide a base, or if the chosen base doesn't fit the standards, the maintainers will choose.



NEW Text Challenge:
The Text Challenge involves making a graphic based on a quote from the Harry Potter novels. The size of the graphic is avatar, unless otherwise stated.



The graphic must contain at least 3 consecutive words from the provided quote.
You may only use words that are a part of the quote.

You may make one icon. Images may be used but are not required.
You may not shorten words, and you may not combine words already in the quote to make a different word that is not provided in the initial quote.

The winner of the Text Challenge will be able to choose a quote that will be used in the future. The winner will have one week to choose a quote from the Harry Potter books and send it via owl to one of the maintainers. The quotation should be at least 2 sentences long, and no longer than 5 sentences.
If the winner fails to provide a quote, or if the chosen quote doesn't fit the standards, the maintainers will choose.




NEW EXTRA CHALLENGE:

Each week we will promote some kind of graphic element or concept (like 'text', 'humor' or 'odd coloring'). It will be an 'extra challenge' that incorporates all the challenges of the week.



There's no need to participate.
To join the extra challenge, you'll have to use the chosen element/concept of the week in one or more of your entries.
No graphics will be made especially for this challenge. The graphic element/concept should be applied to one or more of the existing challenges.
In the end of the week, during the usual voting, people will choose among all the entries, the graphic they think used the technique in the best way.
The winner of the Extra Challenge will get a special prize banner





Size Guidelines:


Avatars:

(see F.A.Q. for information on timezones conversion)



A notice will be posted in this thread when submissions open or close.
You may change your entries while submissions are being accepted.
Entries submitted or changed after submissions are closed will not be counted.




Voting starts on Friday midnight GMT, and goes until Saturday midnight GMT
(see F.A.Q. for information on timezones conversion)



All the entries for each challenge will be displayed in a single table. Links for those tables will be posted when voting begins.
A notice will be posted in this thread when voting begins or ends.
Vote for the overall best icon (look at quality most) in each category.
Do not vote for yourself or get other people to vote for you.






F.A.Q.:


To find out the local time for when the entries are closed for you, you may use the Time Zone Converter (http://www.timezoneconverter.com/cgi-bin/tzc.tzc).
To use it, uncheck the “Use current date/time” box, then put in the time and date for the GMT time, such as the GMT time for the close of submissions. Then select your time zone from the list on the right hand side, and then click on the “Convert” button. This will tell you what the GMT time will be in your own local time.

You can also get the right GMT here (http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/).


You can find a list of free Graphics Programs here (http://www.cosforums.com/showthread.php?t=3320).



To get all your entries into one post you can host your graphics on websites such as:


Photobucket (http://www.photobucket.com/)
Tinypic (http://tinypic.com/)
Imagehosting (http://www.imagehosting.us/)
The Image Hosting (http://www.theimagehosting.com/)
Putfile (http://www.putfile.com/)


There are plenty of other picture hosting sites as well.


Not at all! We welcome graphics makers of any skill level.


This (http://community.livejournal.com/hp_tutorials/5393.html) post on Live Journal by Evita82 has a list of lots of sites that provide Harry Potter images.
If you have any difficulty in finding an specific image, you can ask in the thread. We'll do our best to help.

Would Harry learning Expecto Patronum count for the banner?

Would Harry learning Expecto Patronum count for the banner?mmm... Lupin gave Harry private lessons about Patronus. i don't think it counts as a DADA class. however, for the sake of the contest and considering the lack of DADA classes in the movie (meaning no screencaps), i believe it will be ok to use Harry's patronus for your banner :)

I'm having issues with Photobucket (for some reason it won't let me into my own album :/ ) so I'll probably have to upload them to my album on my profile here.

Have fun!

that's it....no really long animations for me....

Thanks for the Votes! Congrats to the other winners!

V8--Speaking of long animations (which you should so totally continue doing) How do you do that? It looks like a clip straight from the movie but I don't know how you did it. Is it a gif? Is there a way of incorporating actually movie clips with regular clips? Do you have to have a special program? If you ever have time I'd totally like a tutorial. :huggles:

I use GIMP 2.4 :)

I use GIMP 2.4 try to google the words [gimp tutorial blending]. i believe you'll find something there. i don't know gimp, so i can't help you much...

I don't use GIMP often, so I wouldn't know about blending. Though, have you tried using the 'create and edit paths' tool to cut the image away from the background. That's what I do for most of my graphics, then paste it onto a suitable textured background or something.

Thanks! I swear just by coming here I see something and say---"gee I'd like to try that technique." For instance, on that owl banner I used two techniques I've seen here. Kimagine often uses wrapping paper motifs in her text icons so I found a paper with owls on it and used it in the banner (the little blue one reminded me of Hedwig being the odd one out). And then, was it you or maybe Kitunen, did a Rupert avatar with stacked block letters and I thought I'd try that out as well. Then someone did a Marcus Flint sig that said "c h a r m i n g" and I knew right on the spot that I had to figure out how they did it. It all flowed into that owl banner. So it was half original and half unoriginal. But I'm so pleased with it and owe it all to everyone on the board! :tu:

maebelle, another amazing sig! I would never have thought of Trelawney that way!

I did not have as much time as I thought I would last week. This week, if Idon't have time to do a good job, I will not submit.

That would count as with text, I know it's just a brush but since it has legible letters that's where I would put it. Lovely icon by the way!

Just wanted to check, in case I make another. And thank you!!!
