Official: Submit Photoshop Topic Or Base Pic Idea

Posted by AJ - July 18th, 2009


This is where you submit ideas as to what you think would be a fun topic for a photoshop competition for the Photoshop Competition Club. Ideas do not need to have a base pic. All you need to do is bring up a theme. Some examples are Unlikely Political Campaigns, Advertisements of the Christ, and Signs of Our Times. These types of topics leave a much wider variety for photoshoppers to experiment with, making the results much more creative and fun. You can simply bring up a base pic, but it had better be a damn good one. To submit an idea for the thread, leave a comment on this newspost that obeys the following guidelines.

1. Be creative. The club is meant to be a serious competition between serious photoshoppers. Don't bother putting something like photoshop this MS cock drawing I did, because we're not going to bother with it. Not to say that a submission can't be immature, just make sure that there is a lot of potential for your idea, and it leaves a broad variety of directions a photoshopper can go with it.

2. To post an idea, leave a name for your idea, for example, if your idea is to photoshop Obama as a terrorist, (lame idea I know, it's just an example) you'd probably want to name it Photoshop Obama the Terrorist.

3. Description. Make sure you give a description for your idea. For the above, it would be "For Photoshop Obama the Terrorist, users must submit images of Obama showing him as a terrorist. Putting him in middle eastern clothing, having him commit terrorist acts, and things of that nature would all fit." You don't need to go too far with it, just make sure I can understand the idea you're trying to get across.

4. Base pic. If your idea includes a base pic that you think would be a good basis for a competition, post a link to the image in your comment. If the image is saved on your hard drive, but it's not on the internet, go to imageshack.us and upload the picture there.

5. VOTING. To vote on a topic idea, post a comment saying I vote for (name of topic idea.) For now, first idea to get 3 votes will be accepted.

5. DON'T POST ANY COMMENTS ON THIS NEWSPOST OTHER THAN TOPIC IDEAS OR VOTES PLEASE. I want to try and keep this as far away from a clusterfuck as I can. Any posts here that aren't submissions will be deleted.

All this being said, you're welcome to begin posting submissions now. :p

Although SA already did it, since the thread has just started up, I think we can afford to take one of their ideas. It's called Randomly Generated Video Games. There is a random video game generator <a href="http://www.norefuge.net/vgng/vgng.html">http://www.norefuge.net/vgng/vgng.htm l</a>, and the competition is to take one of the randomly generated names and photoshop the cover for that game if it existed.

I've seen some threads in several forums where people create covers for fictional games, and some results were really funny. I liked that idea, and since I just couldn't come up with something better, I vote for "photoshoping covers for Randomly Generated Video Games".

I'm up for the " Photoshopping Covers" one too.
