Idea... uh-oh
 

I had an idea, but I'm not sure you lame-asses will overcome your ADD long enough to make it work...

How would you guys feel about a Graphics Olympics?

Here is the plan:

Several "Events" that will include:
.Grunge
.Music/Movie
.Photo-Editing
.Trendy/3D
.ect...

A "Gold" will be awarded for the top vote getter, "Silver", and "Bronze" to the runners up.
Gold worth 5 Points
Silver 2 points
Bronze 1 point.

Most points after all events is entilted AA.com's "Graphic Olympian"

The purpose of the point scale is because someone is likley to win Silver with the same number of votes as someone else. Hense most final points.


... Just a thought...

rock: i will try ...

Movie editing eh, im about the only one here that does it.

loney:

Im game anyway, set a date if more get interested.

sounds like a great idea

sounds fun if i could get my photoshop back. im in when i get it. rock:

ownt.
I can do grunge i guess.

taking fire... need assistance.

be on my team . then come around back

i think we sould have single events then have 1 or 2 team
like grudge team, and grudge single,
we could also do the teams by country or continent

canada,usa,uk

^^^ good idea

i think the whole team thing is gay.

hmmm.

Better responce than I thought I would get. Conscript will be making a new DW in the morning, so I think we should begin in about a week... maybe two.
Design Wars tend to die out after a few rounds anyways.

While Teams provide an authentic sence to the event, I believe that single achievment would work best. So I think it should work like this:

.Each person may compete in each event once. One entry per event only.

.Each entry should follow the sig rules laid out by AlliedAssault.com
(400 x 150 max).

.Each event will be judged by most votes. In the event that there is a tie for "Gold", an objective outsider will make the call for the win. ( Most likley White Rabit or Da_bain as they are both excellent artists and fair people. )

.Ties for "Silver" or "Bronze" will not be voted on, points will simply be awarded to both entries.(Hence the large difference in Gold and Silver points)

The Events will include:

Grunge Sig. Massive brushwork & tatered look style
Photo-Editing. Altering images & creating new image within.(see Strvs' odometer sig)
Band/Movie Sig. Music or movie themed.
Animation. Animated gif. No flash!
Trendy/3D. 3D or Anime or combo.
War Sig. War themed.

I am open to more events, but lets not get too caried away here.

Each Event will be done seperatly and the next will not begin until the previous has finished. Most points at end of last event wins the first AA Design Olympics.

A special banner will be created for the Graphic Olympian to where under his sig.
Gold winners may also create banners for their event if they choose to.

Any Questions, Suggestions, or Comments?

I am going to forfit my DW so the AA Design Olympics can begin earlier!My DW would be absolute shit as well cool:

ya, WR is banned from these forums, and i thought the size limitations of aa.com were 450 x 150

So no video\audio editing now ? eek:

i think you should take out the war and replace it with like no brushes( unelss you made them) no source pics or anything. you could take pics with your camera but thats it. justa thoguht

Ok,

1st Fireal brought up the great point of AA failing "Voting" compitions.(on MSN) A panal of Judges would be much more effective.
So we will need a few judges capible of carefully judging each and all events.

2ndSirus, your right. AA standard is 400 x 150, my bad.

3rdGerv,

I think you, Trip, and Head-up are the only ones that deal with vidio and audio... It wouldn't make much of a compition to have them if no-one else messes with that media. I would be happy to add it as an "event" if others use that media as well.
If there are others please let us know as volume of users will have to determine the adding of the event, for fairness in the final outcome purposes.

4thAV,

Im also open to a 100% PS Event, but I think Ktog will own it! lol.

Buckweed fucks with video as well, im sure theres some others.

dude i am vedio

Ok, I had no idea.

I will need some details from you on:

.How it is altered
.How long entries should be
.How to judge good editing

So I can create the standards for judging and rules for entries.
Some of us are 56K so it can't be anything too huge you understand.

If we can get the needed amount of entries, it will make a great event. Good call Gerald.

im a judge.\

Can be altered using anything really, windows movie maker, adobe premiere, fnal cut, video vegas, mgi videowave, after effects.



Since its 56k id say maybe a max of 3 mins run time, more like from 2-3 mins.

Editings a tricky point, some people have their own style, generally "good" editing is making certain clips play to certain beats, or maybe matching a lyric to a sequence in the video. Effects play a part as well, mainly down to the music and how the way the clips are arranged keys in with the music.

Ok, So it would be judged almost like animated gifs...

Mostly opinion of ballance in subject matter and based on the "flow" and ease of final product.
We will make them 2:30 max in length and of tasteful content.

Fair?

a few others modify video also yes, but i dont and im sure a few* others do not as well, we need to do events that everyone can do, also again zen its 450 x 150 biggrin:

See, my sigs are always smaller than that... lol.

If we don't get enough entries for an event, I will just scrape the whole event. I'm not sure the Animation will go well here either, lol

Now that you fags scared off headshotx..All the animations will suck cuss:
