<center>[font=Arial, sans-serif] Graphic Makers Cookoff[/font]
July 7th-July 13th
The time has come to mark your calendars for the first ever AU Graphic Makers Cookoff. It will take place from July 7th-July 13th, but, as of right now, we need to get the word out. We need to see who is attendind, and we need to order all of the different events.
As in, right now, there is going to be the main cookoff. Meaning, who can make the most graphics in the designated timeframe. However, I beleive there was notice of daily competitions, in which the winners of these will recieve even more points to be Offical "[insert the title I haven't thought of here]"
So.. just have a few minor details to think up, but that should be it.
Please help here in showing the number of points, you believe, should be given to each:
Quote: POINT TOTALS: Avatar: # Points Banner: # Points Blend: # Points Wallpaper: # Points Colorization: # Points Retouch: # Points
(Tell me if I forgot any types of graphics.)</center>
JUDGES:
1. Nissya Skywalker
2. Sairahiniel
3.
4.
5.
PARTICIPANTS:
-Smeagollum
-Aliana Fae
-Will
-Pandora
-Nurrantiel Mashiara
-ForeverFrodo
-Caunion the Time Lord
-Dark, Queen of Angmar

Basically.... it is just a sloganing term.
What will happen is, during this week, we are going to measure who can make graphics the fastest. So, Cookoff=fastest made graphics. However, there will be different point levels for graphics because, for example, it does not take as long to make an avatar as it does a wallpaper.
Then, on the side, there will be contests that will also contribute. They will be day long. Start in the morning, end at night, and be judged by a panel of pre-determined judges. The winners of these should recieve more points for their image than just the preselected bunch. However, I haven't worked out point titles just yet.

Ha. The dates are the one week I'll be out of town and probably without photoshop for a week. Maybe I'll get to do it next year.

Are you serious? I can try to mingle them to half a week and half of another week, but you would be at a disadvantage then.

Don't worry about it, hon. If it doesn't work out, I'll just catch it next year, or help you out with judging or something.

I fixed it. I had the wrong second week of July
Um.. I am going to be gone for a few days next week, but that should be it.

Alrighty. I'll be gone evenings that week, but I should be able to get things done nights and mornings. Let me know if anything changes.

Hmm.. I personally think there should be more of a gap between everything.
I say
Avatars: 1 point
Banners: 4 points
Blends (600x400): 8 points
Blends (700x500): 12 points
Wallpapers (800x600): 16 points
Colorizations: 16 points (I think this catergory will have to be divided by the status of the color)
Retouch: 12 points

Maybe we could have appointed non-graphic-making judges that award points for everything based on appearance and speed both, because it's easy to crop a picture into a certain sized-canvas whereas it's not so easy to add effects to the picture and blend it with other things and I don't think it would be fair to award the same points for each.

Yeah.. I am thinking the same way.
So, we should go and appoint judges?

I think maybe we should make a thread here or in the contest section titled 'Cookoff Judges Needed!' and have criteria. Participants aren't allowed to judge, etc. etc.
I might be able to get Tar to do it. But she's in Puerto Rico right now.
