This next round's theme is "Starring You!" This theme is all about you! You can make a layout of stuff you like, photos of you... your friends, your hobbies! Use all of your creativity! This round we want to see something different than your usual style.

Helpful links:
www.sxc.hu
www.veer.com
www.betterphoto.com

The deadline for this round will be Friday, Decemeber 8th, 2006, 11:59 PM EST all entries must be PMed to all judges by that date. Please let any of the judges know if you for some reason will not be able to make the deadline.

*Feel free to send in with your entry an explanation of the significance of the obejcts/people/photos/themes used in your design!

The Final Four:

---Explanation of Layout:
QUOTE
Since i started livejournal, i notice how all the people on their have really nice techniques for blends/collages/wallpapers. Compared to my blends their was 10x better. So i began to learn how to create fan-art. This also started my icons making days (i never make an icon before). Fan-art is about my own creativity. I have to kinda make it up as i go along. There are tutorials that help me with it, but that's just the basics. I have to steer away from it and make my own.

-xklipse (entry)
-Kathleen
-anime.essence (entry)
---Explanation of Layout:
QUOTE
It is mainly about how my life is surrounded by my love on the internet. I always have to be doing something on the web. It is my life and I love it.


You can submit this round to cB if you want - if it's too personal, don't feel obligated _smile.gif

Yeah, well we're down to the "Final Four" and I think we could get a better decision from the whole community. Especially if that new Contest Forum idea goes through.

I haven't discussed it with Jackie yet, but I will as soon as she gets on.

Why community ?

Here's another reason:

We have 3 mods/ex-mods in this group.
Only mods are judging this.

I think community vote would be more fair this time.

Community vote sounds like a good idea. happy.gif

We might not do the community vote - we don't want this to turn into a popularity contest.

Mrrm. Do the layouts have to have several things, or can it be focused on a band or actor/actress? Like, as everyone knows, I'm obsessed with Johnny Depp - would I be able to do that (although I wouldn't do Johnny Depp since I have plenty of layouts of him XD.gif)?

Congrats anime!

I was a bad/lazy mod, lol. xD

I think community vote would be really cool, I just hope people wont base their votes on popularity though because im so inactive. But I still like the idea x.x

I think this theme is awesome, but im not sure I can go out of my usual style though, I have so many ><

Maybe next round we could make the layouts anonoymous. Obviously that wouldn't work this round because it's personal... But would that be good?

Mehh.. but if this is a personal round, I think it'd be a bit obvious for some of the members, and either way, I think it's just going to be a popularity contest. (I can read, I swear) pinch.gif I know the following is clearly biased considering I'm still in the contest, but I personally think that the judges have been pretty fair thus far; I don't think that the fact that there are three mods/ex-mods in the running will be a factor in deciding which is the best Xanga designer. shrug.gif But I digress.

yea, sooo...the judge should..er...judge this round- then the rest should be community votes?

IF we are doing something like that, I assume that we wont have to put our copyrights on the layouts anymore after this round?

^ Right. And you would wait to submit the layouts (with added copyrights if you want) AFTER the round would be over.

I'm just indifferent.

Gahh. This is futile. I forfeit.. I guess? I'm really sorry if I let anyone down (which I doubt I did, anyways).. pinch.gif There's just no way that I'm to finish this, but don't worry, I'm certainly not asking for an extension; I was fully aware of the deadline. Good luck to everyone. group.gif It was fun while it lasted.
