See the Artistic release or the Photomode/Photoshop comps. I think those cover this same premise.
 
no they don't.
Photoshop and Artistic have a theme, not a base picture. But there is someone who needs to grant you permission to host such competition even tough i don't know who.
 
well ... I had thought about the same idea before
I think we can do it under photoshop comp and/or artistic comp
if some of us win and we can choose a theme
and theme is to manipulate a sample photo
if you are allowed to add external image, should consider running it under photoshop comp instead of artistic

or I can try to host a new comp for you guys and see the interesting level to people
what do you think?


edit > I never heard of you need a grant for making a new comp
as long as you make it look professional like other the comp here
people then will join and have fun
those unsucessful comps were just lacking rules and presentation
if it is a bad idea, no one will join

Sorry I misread the post. I didn't pick-up on the part of having a "base picture". There was a competition similar to your idea a while back hosted by Vicious VP called "Vicious VP's Creative Competition". It lasted a few weeks and fizzled out. Here's what the rules were and how it was done:

Vicious VP
PREFACE:​

This competition will be the broadest available in the Photomode Competitions area.

1) For each competition, I will pick and post the image to be used.
2) There must be some text used in your design.
3) After the duration of the competition, I will pick a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place and give and explanation of why each one was chosen - their good parts and not so good parts. I guess you could say that I will be the editor at the agency, and each time you bring me a project, you are there to impress me and the client.

As to what you can do with the image? It will be up to you how you wish to use it - you will have complete artistic licence. You could:

  • Remove the car from the background.
  • Use the entire image.
  • Use part of the image.
  • Make it a B&W
  • Make it look like a painting.
  • Change the color of the car.
  • Ad graphics or ground effects to the car.
  • ... it is YOUR choice.
Some of the things you could create are:
  • Mag cover
  • Advertisement - for WHATEVER!
  • CD Label
  • CD Cover Art - the square part on the front of the jewel case
  • DVD Cover
  • Wallpaper
  • Billboard
  • News Article
  • Business Logo or Business Cards
  • Movie Poster
  • ... and so on, and so on ...
Be creative. Explore new ideas on how to use your design tool of choice.

______________________________________________________________

What I will be looking for in your designs are below and will be rated on a 1 - 5 scale. 1=not so good | 5=excelent

  • Good composition - the overall layout.
  • Font use
  • Originality
  • Overall appeal
  • Technical proficiency - are all the bad parts of the image removed or "smoothed" out. Like shading lines, polygonal wheel-wells, wheels and tires, color and brightness balance. All the things in GT4 that make the cars NOT look as real as they could.
  • Sellability / Usability - Will the client use it. Because, trust me on this, not even a GREAT design is always usable by the client.
With this scoring system, your design could have a max score of 30.

______________________________________________________________

The end result should be something (that if you really were a designer) you would put in your portfolio.

This competition is designed to help you grow in your creative design process, as well as the use of your "tools" - Photoshop, Paintshop Pro or the like.

HAVE FUN. Impress me, others, and most of all ... yourself.

______________________________________________________________

Here is this competitions image:



This comp will run from: 5/23 to 5/31

When you post your image, please say who your client of choice is, and where/how the design is to be used. ie: In a mag ad. On a store window. Billboard. Etc ...

Now, go and create!​

A competition like this might be more widely accepted now since there are many new members and that was almost a year ago.
 
I've been thinking about something like that. You would need to photoshop a given picture. It would be really nice for those of us who are still learning and experimenting with Photoshop or other photo-editing programs.

yeh im still experimenting with Photoshop

also if this takes off i think the pic should be a Phototravel shot
 
i know this is'nt exactly the place to be asking and that i'll sound like a dum-ass for asking but after you've edited a photo on imageshack, how do you get it to appear on the forums as an avatar.
 
@tigermoth - To se a picture as an avatar, resize it to 100*100 or smaller, then click the "My GTPlanet" link right at the top of the page. This takes you to your control panel, where there is the "Upload Avatar" section. Just follow the prompts from there. BTW, you need 100 posts to use a custom avatar. :)
 
So are we gonna give this competition a test run?? I like the whole idea.
 
I would enter this comp if it came about. I think the idea of seeing how many different variations of the same image can be made would be very interesting indeed. :dopey:

I second that. I would enter.
 
franz said something about him hosting it but I don't know for sure. I could help with banners and what not.
 
I had ideas for some different type of GT4 photomode comp, then before i post the idea up. I then forget how the comp would work.
 
I don't think a poll is really necessary. I think the majority are in favor of the competition, its more of a matter of who we can get to run it.
 
I would like to see Franz host this competition, since he's really good at photoshop, he would be a very good choice in my opinion. And I'm sure if he host this comp, it will get more entries.
 
Sorry I am busy lately and I will be out of town for a week this weekend
but I can try to host the comp before tonight
Gotta make some good banners and set the rules up
 
I think alot of us forgot we had this idea goin around. Anyone still interested??? If franz isn't able to host it, I would go ahead and host it. Just wanted to make sure everyone was still for this idea, however there will be changes to what the inventor of this comp had. Such as I would not choose the top 3 or anything I would keep it like all the other comps and let all of us decide. Also I would ease up on the rules (ex. you don't HAVE to use text but it can be if you wanted), nothing major though. Let me know if you guys are still on board.
 
sorry I have forgotten :P too busy on the other stuff
Here is the basic setup for the new comp
any comments are welcome
