This is a nice place, guys.

Shouldn't this be closer to PoTW?

[Elzabar]

This is kind of a suggestion, though more of a "move your ass" to Caradog

You guys should hold Art Lessons for GIMP and Photoshop users

[Philos Sophos]

I agree,there should be some Lessons.I'm a noob at doing sigs,so I could need some advice.

There's no point of having CS3 without using it...

[Philos Sophos]

So,any more tutorials coming?...I don't want my sig to be made my someone else,that hurts me and my self-esteem...

Yes we have much, much more on the way. I will soon advance on the tutorial forum so keep checking back. I am a little busy at the moment and I will also start them, getting the tuts' ready for posting.

mmh, a treadh for discussing the submission of Graphics Competition would be nice ;D

To discuss what about the comp' though?

I think he means to discuss the entries. Well I guess we could allways discuss the entries in the voting thread, saying why we voted for which, and of course I'm sure most people will post their submission in their gallery as well were people can comment further on it.

[Philos Sophos]

Also,will there be some kind of Boot Camp as well?...

Like,you make a sig and you get advice how to make it better and if it's enough then it's done .

Any possibilities?

Yes very good idea. We could link up with the University....

I suggested that a while ago in the Content Staff forum. I think it would be a great idea. Linking up with the Uni, that is.

[y2day]

A sticky thread for Tutorial Requests in the Tutorial sub forum, would be good. I was working on creating a tut last night then stopped halfway through and thought someone might really need to know how to do something and I'm wasting my time on something noone may use. Although it was a cool text effect i was working on. I may post it tonight if I finish it.

Competition posts shouldn't be allowed to edit.

[Desperado †]

Competition posts shouldn't be allowed to edit.

What, so after you post it your not allowed to change it? :hmmm:

I don't know. I mean, everyone makes mistakes. Mostly we've been following the PoTW example with competition rules (as they are the oldest, most succesfull and best run one around) and they do allow changing the pic. At the end of the day, its the entry when the poll is made that counts.

[Worm]

I think we could make the polls public so you can see who voted for who. I don't think there will be any cheating here since we dont have any medals(yet?). And even if someone cheat it will be easy to notice that some people allways vote for the same person.

[y2day]

Well worm the poll is public this week. I agree i don't think anyone would cheat. Atleast out of the group we have now. And medals are coming soon.

[Louis Lux]

I like it better when the poll results are hidden because it is a surprise when the winner is announced and people might get influenced by the results, only voting for those that have a chance of winning. Since it is a friendly competition either way is fine.

[Keeper of the Keys]

Firstly I think Potw should be IN the graphics forum where it belongs!

Secondly heres a few ideas
* Voting on whose Graphics thread is the best every 3 months or so.
* A help thread where people can tell any problems there having.
* Avatar of the week
* A thread where we can show others step by step how to create Signatures instead on doing them for them.

[Desperado †]

Firstly I think Potw should be IN the graphics forum where it belongs!

Yes. Though unfortunately, this would either mean getting the PoTW less notice (and it is the longest established competition in TWC) or hiding the graphics workshop inside the PoTW.

Secondly heres a few ideas
* Voting on whose Graphics thread is the best every 3 months or so.

Yes. Our current competition is a beta run. Depending on how many competitiors+voters we have, this will be decided. Though it's y2day's turf, so I'll let him answer + discuss this one.

* A help thread where people can tell any problems there having.

Well, currently, anyone with a problem can open their own personal thread in the Tutorials section.

* Avatar of the week

Yes. I was thinking perhaps for the theme of some graphics competitions, we could change the size to avatar, or bigger to page art.

* A thread where we can show others step by step how to create Signatures instead on doing them for them.

A good idea! Next time a sig is requested, anyone can feel free to make a tutorial as they make it, in the tutorials section.
