007 Nab Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I suggest the theme to be weather. Storms, eclipses, sunny days, rain, etc. That way the category is varied, but still limited and it will challenge the competitors' use of photo manipulation. We're... not done with the last contest yet... But good ideas! Quote "pyrochild, you're my favorite person ever. We should go snowboarding some time."~ 007 Nab. Ish.

Crazy Man Dan Posted June 12, 2008 Author Share Posted June 12, 2008 To be honest! The onus is still technically on me to finish administering this competition. David only took over creating the competition because I was terribly busy. Voting will open tonight. I promise! And this is a new CMD who keeps his promises.

-Expiration- Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Well, as the winner of SOTW 16, I guess I should be choosing the theme for SOTW 17. However, as usual, I'm drawing a blank, so I, would like to here your opinions, on what you think the theme for the next SOTW will be. I'll probably end up choosing something else, but who knows? :wink: Quote Call me expired. Please.

ncfan51 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Expressive typography. For example, who can come up with the best design to complement the text. Or using typography in a certain way to create appealing design.

Flow55 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 A certain font could be picked that you have to put in your sig, and try and compliment it as best as possible. Quote My Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I like the typography idea. Not sure about the single font thing, though. I'm not good with certain types :?

-Expiration- Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Actually, I was waiting to see if any more suggestions would come up. Although Nab, you do have a good point: I could make the theme hell. But, seeing as there are no other ideas, the theme for SOTW #17 is: Typography! Quote Call me expired. Please.

Crazy Man Dan Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 One last question, then we can get this thing started: Single-font limitation: yay or nay?

brandon.roeder Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 One last question, then we can get this thing started:Single-font limitation: yay or nay? yeah, i think so. b/c then we can see who utilizes the font the best Quote My DA|My Gallery|My Website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Expiration- Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I don't think so Brandon. If you don't limit the font, you can see who chooses the best font to use in their design, since the theme is typography in general. Font selection, along with composition and execution would be included into the voting criteria. Quote Call me expired. Please.

Crazy Man Dan Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 Alright, I guess one more clarification question: The idea is to only use one font in the design, correct? The font used would be up to each artist, but they can only use the one font. Am I understanding this correctly?

-Expiration- Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Wow, so many intricate details to work out. I guess this would be the case, to see how the artist utilizes the one font to maximize the effect of their design. Quote Call me expired. Please.

007 Nab Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Yeah I had that same question, for clarification purposes, thanks CMD for asking, and expired for answering.
