TBCS Art Contest II - Where's the TBCS logo?
TBCS Art Contest II - WHERE'S TBCS?
I admit that an Art section within computer forums has puzzled me for some time as it's always seemed out of place, until recently.
I just visited the local Art Museum and was stunned by the level of detail in every work. Not just the old stuff either, but the new we're equally as amazing. How I wish some times about being an artist, even if it means impressing my kids with my abilities. But I have impressed my kids with my Mods before……what am I trying to say? If art was a disease, we'd all be infected to some level. Even the passerby would be. Personally, I don't consider myself an artist in any respect, but MODDING IS ART.
The newest of many challenges to come, is gonna take some true attention to detail. Remember those "Where's Waldo?" pages where'd you have to look through a huge scene to find one guy? I want an intricate PC related print. It could be a video card or motherboard or even a picture of a desktop, with one little thing…..
Where's TBCS? Take the TBCS logo and bury it in the image. Make it small, make it blend in. Write it on an IC chip on the hard drive. I want to plunge into the pixel pool holding my breath, with my eyes open trying to find that logo!
Well, now here’s what you have to do to make sure it’s an acceptable entry.
The Rules:
1. Registered TBCS members only with at least 20 posts at the time of submittal. Staff allowed to enter.
2. Entries to be submitted by June 1, 2008 at 23:59 Central U.S. Time
3. I don't care about the format just as long as I can open it.
4. Use any software you like, 2D/3D etc. You can edit your own pencil drawings if you wish.
5. Any resolution acceptable.
6. No limit to how much you edit or modify your images.
7. Judging will be done by you, the TBCS community!
8. You may submit 1 design only.
If you need the logo, here it is.
Scoring/Voting:
1. This will be done with a public poll for you, the community to vote on.
Prize:

2. Turning Point: Fall of Liberty Game (for the PC)
3. Medal on the Award System
4. +Rep from me, and possibly many other members

Re: TBCS Art Contest II - Where's the TBCS logo?
I think I'll give a contest a whirl.
-
Re: TBCS Art Contest II - Where's the TBCS logo?
This SOUNDS so easy, but im sure as i sit to get started, im gunna get stumped:(
-
Re: TBCS Art Contest II - Where's the TBCS logo?
lol, I think this is a cool idea for an art challenge.
-
Re: TBCS Art Contest II - Where's the TBCS logo?
Great idea, I like it! Reminds me of the logo I look for on every issue of one of my favorite computer mags.
-
Re: TBCS Art Contest II - Where's the TBCS logo?
Uh...computer?
No, it's not....:rolleyes:
I'm already rolling ideas in my head for the next one.
-
Re: TBCS Art Contest II - Where's the TBCS logo?
Am i allowed to use the old logo?
Oh and what ver. of MS office is it?
-
Re: TBCS Art Contest II - Where's the TBCS logo?
Any logo will be fine. I just don't want someone burying the letters 'T.B.C.S.' and calling it a logo. The MS disk is Office XP. It includes: Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Access, Frontpage and Outlook. I use it on Windows XP and Vista PC's. There are no compatibility issues. In fact, I wrote this contest up in Office XP on my Vista laptop

Re: TBCS Art Contest II - Where's the TBCS logo?
I think I'll take part in this for a laugh (and possibly the reps.) Prepare for a few sleepless nights trying to find the logo. :twisted:
muhahahahahaaaaaaa*cough**choke**cough*haaaaaa!
-
Re: TBCS Art Contest II - Where's the TBCS logo?
I know how to be ebil about this..... what formats are allowed?
-
Re: TBCS Art Contest II - Where's the TBCS logo?
I'd prefer basic stuff: .bmp, jpeg, gif, tiff, etc. I can open sketchup files because I have the program, but CAD and others I do not.
-
Re: TBCS Art Contest II - Where's the TBCS logo?
So no .swf? *grins evilly*
-
Re: TBCS Art Contest II - Where's the TBCS logo?
would you mind having a 160000000*120000000 image, 700 mb big? bet you would have a nice time finding the logo:D???
-
Re: TBCS Art Contest II - Where's the TBCS logo?
You'd have to mail it to me, not email. No wait, it has to be host-able so the members of TBCS can vote.
Also, I can take: .swf, .jpg, .bmp, .gif, .dib, .tga, .pcx, .tiff, and .fpx
I use MGI Photosuite for Windows 98, because I have yet to find anything else as easy to learn, any suggestions?
-
Re: TBCS Art Contest II - Where's the TBCS logo?
I just installed GIMP, so the sky's the limit? Until I figure it out....
-
Re: TBCS Art Contest II - Where's the TBCS logo?
Another free utility to look at is Paint.NET
-
Re: TBCS Art Contest II - Where's the TBCS logo?
Well i had a good idea but i think im gunna have to check it with you first. Is it ok if i send you a pm on what my entry could possibly be? I wanna see if its aloud before i do it.

Re: TBCS Art Contest II - Where's the TBCS logo?
Jeesh, i didnt realize how much time was left on this. I'm praticly done. No surprise though with the lack of articles needing images in the staff section this past week.
I hope i win but i cant be certin with the amount of skill you guys all have. I at least hope to woo you all for a runner up peoples choice award :)
-
Re: TBCS Art Contest II - Where's the TBCS logo?
I've sent my entry in, now... to wait...
:)
I actually think mine was way too easy. :| But, nevermind.
(It took me a few tries to get the email sent, as Gmail choked on the first one. Not particularly surprisingly, gmail will not send emails with 23.8MB image attachments...)
anywho, enjoy. :3
-
Re: TBCS Art Contest II - Where's the TBCS logo?
Yeah, i just sent mine in aswell.
-
Re: TBCS Art Contest II - Where's the TBCS logo?
Im still waiting on the ok from TGS to start mine =(.
-
Re: TBCS Art Contest II - Where's the TBCS logo?
Check your PM's, You have a go! :banana:
J-Roc and Helix have made just AMAZING creations. Just Wow. :up:
-
Re: TBCS Art Contest II - Where's the TBCS logo?
Also, I need a second email from each of you explaining where the logo actually is. I will probably never find it on my own and will need to be positive that it is in the photo to qualify it for judging. When the contest ends, I will post all of the entries in the forums without the clue. Members will have a whack at it for themselves and then vote for the winner.
EDIT: I found J-Roc's TBCS logo!
-
Re: TBCS Art Contest II - Where's the TBCS logo?
oh great! I'll have to hide it better... :)
-
Re: TBCS Art Contest II - Where's the TBCS logo?
You do have till the contest end date to resubmit.
-
Re: TBCS Art Contest II - Where's the TBCS logo?
Thanks TGS...
I thought I'd made mine too easy. Apparently not. :D
-
Re: TBCS Art Contest II - Where's the TBCS logo?
Entry sent. Hope ya like it =) Hint is included in the email(the "hint" discloses the location)
-
Re: TBCS Art Contest II - Where's the TBCS logo?
Another awesome entry! Without that hint, I would NOT have been able to find it. Good Job.:up:
I'm happy that TBCS members will vote on this and not me......
.....it'll be too hard for me to choose.
-
Re: TBCS Art Contest II - Where's the TBCS logo?
I'm looking forward to seeing these, it's going to be fun!
-
Re: TBCS Art Contest II - Where's the TBCS logo?
does it absolutely have to be PC related or can it be any other electronic device? I have this awesome pic of some huge electrical thing that's as big as a warehouse.
-
Re: TBCS Art Contest II - Where's the TBCS logo?
Nope, it must be PC related. And not loosely related
