[foggyflute]

Extended a whole month ? Arghh, need to come up with something else either ...

 

[Millenia]

Posted 3 entries, pretty satisfied with em all

Oh and regarding the don't modify the logos thing I think I circumvented it pretty slyly by making a 3D model representing the HIS logo and using that as a part of the design, lol

 

[stefanels]

This could be a WINNER (the red one)

here's my entries

I think MANY of the contestants have a DeviantART account, at least I do too

 

[MRCL]

You deviant guys reduce my chances of winning as a complete amateur, do you know that, DO YOU?!

 

[foggyflute]

So you can join deviantart to gain your chance of winning, registering an account there is free. =)
I have deviant acc, but I prefer using flickr.

You make no sense. Joining Deviant does not help in winning. Joining deviant does not mean you can take other peoples work and use it as your own.

Personally i think extending the contest another month was wrong when most of us worked hard on these designs to meet a deadline and to have it extended is not right. I understand wanting more people in it but it should have been done in the begining .

A lot of CGI images being used. I doubt many of those have free to use licences, especially since you could consider this commercial use.

Yea, I notice some crazy CGI too. My design with the spider and plane (page5) is of my own work and I have 3d file to prove it too but I don't know the rest. As a graphic designer I welcome all challenger. A vector art can beat a raster images, it depend on the judges taste so everyone has an equal chances of pure pwnage. However, I'm ready for round 3, 4, and 5.

Question: There has nothing stating which country can enter. Is there a restriction I'm just curious?

There are no country restrictions. You can participate even if you live at the north pole with Santa.

Hello there, very interesting works i see).
I have a one question - can i put my picture of design in not good quality, and when contest will over - i'll put original quality ( like this guy http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/3727/videocardentry.jpg) . To prove - this is my work.
This not break rules?


Sorry for bad english)

yes that is fine. even though the pics you linked seem quite small, try something 800 to 1000 pixels wide so we can see the finer details.

Question: There has nothing stating which country can enter. Is there a restriction I'm just curious?

If you live in Cuba, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Sudan or Syria we might have to funnel your prize through some middlemen to get it to you, but I'm confident we can achieve that

Do you like the girl?
Visit her at aeare.deviantart.com

These are getting pretty good now.

For the photo he says its "A simple photo manipulation." Lol, for someone who is used to it maybe. Itd take me a lot of trial and error to even get close.

Don't know if this or ralphbalena's entry is better though. I also like mR Yellow's entry and cc9's simple design.

Oh, another question, this picture( of user Nonot) ,
Its from Assassin's Creed 2 , Ubisoft property.
There is no problems, he can use that?

 

[MRCL]

Most probably not.

that definiately breaks the rules and im fairly sure all the in game screenshots do aswell
oh better chance of winning for the rest of us

 

[Mussels]

yeah unless you personally own the rights to altairs image, you cant go using it on the designs no matter how cool it looks.

Yes.

I can see that is does not matter what photos we use so the competition is going to get tougher. I am going to stand my ground and use only what I have created and not steal images from games or the web as many in this competition have . In the end I hope to see that everyone must show there work to prove that they have used there creations only . If so this will eliminate half of the entries easily.

Thats why I don't bother the people that break the rules. They're just waisting their time, why be angry about it.
