Design Contest Sign-Up Options

[pandora]

This is the sign up thread for this contest.

If you are interested in participating, please post here with an example of some previous work.

If you are interested in being a judge, please contact me via PM.

Please understand that web AND graphic skills will be used in this contest, and models will be required of most, if not all, challenges. You can either render a 3d model of your design, or you can produce a real life model. (Search deviantart for examples.)

This contest will require you to be extremely resourceful. You will need to find or make your own dielines, acquire your own webspace, and pretty much learn/train yourself during these challenges, as a lot of the skills needed for these challenges are usually taught at a college level.

Deadline for sign-ups is March 8th.

8 contestants will be chosen, based on their previous work.

the contest itself will take place in the designer's cafe but i chose to put the sign-ups here to get more attention.

only post here if you are signing up. all other posts will be deleted unless they are valid questions.



steven:

Since you posted that after my post, does that grandfather mine in?

no.

[markmejia]

Hmm, wait. I got lost on the part about rendering a model. Do you mean like, human models? Or ..

[missnh]

Interesting. I am considering.

[pandora]

Hmm, wait. I got lost on the part about rendering a model. Do you mean like, human models? Or ..

no, like if you are doing a package design, then i want to see the template in 2d and then an actual model of the package in 3d or real life. so you could do a 3d model in photoshop OR you can actually print it out and create the package itself.

[missnh]

Bryce or Google Sketchup.

[1angel3]

For our model, can we use a existing product or we create/draw our own? Can it be a design?

[pandora]

it can be an existing product, but you must design the graphics yourself. for instance, you can take a bare wine bottle and just print out your design and wrap it around the base.

[missnh]

I actually want to do this, but I'm not sure if I'll have enough time nor the experience to create some professional, business corporate-ish website.

[pandamonium]

so is it making a whole company basically?

so all in all we need a website and packaging?

[queen]

i'll sign myself up, but can we set the stages up so that deadlines run on a weekend ;o.

[pandora]

queen i actually wanted you to be a judge

[queen]

o darn, just when i thought i'd be the one having all the fun. ;P it's just as well though 'cause i was about to edit my above response with "depending on if i have the time to participate" 'cause at this point that's something i can't guarantee.

so i guess i'll sign off and be a judge. woot.

[Insurmountable]

So who all is particpating, who are judges (because I wanted to be one)


Hmm, maybe we should move this to the resource center to see if it gets any other interest, maybe there are some people that are just only active throughout the resource center then here.

[pandora]

The judges will be me, synkro, and xquizit.

[Insurmountable]

So I'm still guessing there isn't any participants?

[pandora]

You don't have to guess. You could just read through the thread and figure it out for yourself.

[fameONE]

aren't*

[Tung]

So I'm still guessing there isn't any participants?

oh shit

anyways, I think most contests on cB usually fail.
people here just aren't committed or really don't give a shit.

[Insurmountable]

Well I just thought I would hint it out.

I just don't a contest like this can work around here.


And Trish, yea i did, but people could have also PMed you and asked if they could participate, but considering when I asked you didn't reply.

[pandora]

sorry i just didnt think you were qualified to be a judge

[Insurmountable]

o_O I didn't ask about being a judge, I was seeing if anyone PMed you asking to participate.

[pandora]

sorry i thought you were referring to when you pmed me about being a judge and i never replied.

[ArtofBreaking]

It's passed the 8th obviously. But this isn't closed, so sign-ups still available?

[pandora]

yep

[1angel3]

Can I still sign up? Right now I am making a chewing gum wrapper package for my commercial arts class because we just started packaging and then I'm starting my soda label and cereal box. Can I submit those? It may take some time though.

[Insurmountable]

^I would say its fine, but I mean its not really up to me, and there sure as hell isn't anywhere close to 8 participants, so I would hope they would take anyone they can get.

[Tung]

^

[1angel3]

Well okay I try me best to get them in soon then.

[pandora]

all submissions are going to have to be new, not ones that you already made.

[1angel3]

all submissions are going to have to be new, not ones that you already made.

I haven't made them yet. They will only be for school, so if I submit them here they won't be anywhere else but at school.

But I will make one during creative freedom at school just for the contest.

[pandora]

i'm saying that i want people to have equal amount of time to complete their projects.

[1angel3]

Oh okay

[Insurmountable]

Alright I'm going to give this contest until May 1st, and if there isn't enough contestants then I'm going to unpin this. Its been around since February.

Trish if you want to go ahead and say this contest is a no go, feel free to un pin it yourself.

[Tung]

lol pwned.

[pandora]

Hey holly remember what I said backstage the other day?

[Insurmountable]

You mean the one where you told me to stay out of your way and you'll stay out of mine?

I just think this contest has been up long enough and we aren't seeing enough interest. I think we should give it a couple more weeks, and then we should think about starting a new contest.

[pandora]

No honey, the one where I said if you have any qualms or any mod-talk to discuss with me, please take it backstage or PMs. There's no need to get members involved. Discretion. Practice it.

[Tung]

I don't see anything wrong with Holly making this public. I mean members are what make the contest go, and if people who wants to particpate sees this as a failure, they will put their input that this contest should just be dropped.

[Insurmountable]

I agree with Tung, I mean its just a contest. No big deal I believe. It's been up long enough and its way past the cut off date anyway. I'm just putting a bit longer sign up date, maybe people will get interested again. If not then well its over.

Next time I'll make sure to PM you about your contests and any of your other topics.

[pandora]

In general practice Tung. I'm not at all bothered by this particular example but it's just that we JUST finished discussing the practice of discretion the other day.


Topic closed, and unpinned.
