lanikai Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 In my sudden leave of absence from the forum for a little over a month .. I failed to finish the details of the photo contest.. To give the bragging rights to the winners.. it was hard work that has earned them a permanant addition to their sigs.. "Best of the Best" Photog 2009 So to make this interesting and enjoy more commeraderie... I will invite all the Communities graphic artist to participate. There were 3 divisions: Camera phone Novice Division Expert Division We need the first place Trophies for each division. The "Runner up" for each division And for the Expert division.. a Third Place Trophy for that sig.. since it was so highly competitve and hours of work had been put into the images.. it could of gone either of 3 ways.. imo I'll give last call for entries on or around 8-29-2009.. so if you are a graphic artist by trade or have some hidden talent that you would like to showcase... Bring it !!!! membership input will be welcomed... I will announce the judges.. (as soon as I inform them ) Remember this will be attached permanantly to the members sig (if they choose to do so) It's the passion for watches that brings us here.. as a community.. so let's see the same energy here !!! I hope we can have some fun with this.. Aloha~Cheers Lani 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valerian Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Cool idea! I am no graphic artist (nor wannabee) but I love good design. Look forward to seeing those works! Val. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metaljesus Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Whats the prize? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 All done... I tried to keep to a theme, simple, but representational and a bit fun, so I hope this is the kind of thing you had in mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanikai Posted August 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 keeping in mind men that "2009" needs to be incorporporated .. and the art should be small enough to fit the members sig without taking up half a page.. reworking is allowed. and the prize will be a glorious trip for 2 to Hawaii.... as son as I save up enough for the return trip.. I have a very nice IWC Vintage cream dial that has not been worn.. waiting for the winning entry.. A~C Lani remember cheering and member comments on the pieces are welcomed..

ammandel Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 I'm not gonna make a full set of them unless the design gets picked, because its just too much work. Obviously, trophys and colour pallettes would differ for each place, #2 would be Silver, 3rd bronze etc Lettering would change for each place obviously, and I'd come up with a tagline for each award. Expert #1 = "I'm the Super Shooter", Expert #2 = "Call me The View Finder". I dunno.. stuff like that. I had a couple of other ideas too but since you are making this into a 'competition for the competition' I guess we should limit entries to 1 each.

ammandel Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 I've changed my mind, there was something niggling me about that last image. It was the reds.. This one is better: Yeah, this is better I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andreww Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Just back from vacation Lani, and I haven't been around to check this thread out. I'll see if I can put something together in the next few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Here is my submission. I thought that an obvious color scheme should be gold, silver and bronze to denote the 1st, 2nd and 3rd places. The categories are are easily identified by the camera icons. I wanted to give this thing a simple but elegant look that would be eye catching but not overpowering. Hope you like what I've come up with!
