Daigusto Sphreez Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Not a large prescence of Graphic Artists on this forum, but with some advertisement perhaps this could work? Quite a lot of forums hold monthly, even weekly banner contests, for example, where each month a new theme is set by the co-ordinator of the Banner contest, people then have 2 weeks or so to make the banner to suit the theme and specification, whilst the other 2 weeks of the month are used to give people in the forum time to vote for their favourite banner (and give a good reason as to why it is). I just think making something like this competitive can be fun, not sure if anyone else would be interested in this. Ofc, there is a Graphics Sub-forum for this kind of thing, but not a routine monthly event, and the section is pretty dead. If something like this was advertised and sticked, I think in a month period, quite a few people would join. If all entries were made anon, it would also work better, so that no one knows who made what, less bias and a large sense of mystery. Judging the work, instead of the artist. Thoughts?

Night Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Basically an SOTW. We've tried this many times before, It never worked out. And that was with many artists, we have none now. Making it even less likely to work out. I was going to revisit this topic, but when we've gotten more active. For now I don't see it working.

Daigusto Sphreez Posted March 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Ahh, fair play. The forum is a little barren, so It would be hard to get it to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tormented Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Showcase and Graphics in General have been dead for a while It would be pointless trying, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durandamon Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 I believe otherwise. Showcase must be revived, it was a beautiful thing back then. All the galleries of splices and tags, custom images on every page. That's what we want back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tormented Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 I want that back to but, with YCMaker gone YCM is slowly dying, IF we all came together IT could be accomplished, per say if we created a Club for GFX and tried to get as many new members involved as possible, just an idea.

Night Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Tormy, you are a genius. It actually might just work. There have been only two graphic design clubs that have ever been moderately successful, JG's and mine. What we originally wanted to do was make a place for all of the gfx artists to go, but instead we got many members who were interested in becoming artists. If you guys would join, I'll put up the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Don't worry you'll get [i]created[/i] for the idea. As for co-leader and all that shenanigans I really don't care much for it, but sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tormented Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Never mind my English sucks *Credited Well just link the Club when you are ready, If we do this right this could be pulled off and showcase could become active again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
