CrAzYChelie: it means no external sources. if you cant create it in photoshop, you cant use it. ( 5 years and 3693 days ago )

bedic: I will send some examples okay. ( 5 years and 3693 days ago )

bedic: you can do it in photoshop... ( 5 years and 3693 days ago )

bedic: you can create a design using letters. ( 5 years and 3693 days ago )

gitsadr: do you mean something like the entrys or something like this http://www.pxleyes.com/picture/952/4a38c618c7beb.html ????? ( 5 years and 3692 days ago )

Giggles: I guess something like that will work... ( 5 years and 3692 days ago )

Giallo: are we allowed to use photo references? ( 5 years and 3692 days ago )

scratzilla1: to get ideas for this comp GOOGLE TYPOGRAPHY.. Thanks for asking about reference photos Giallo. I was wondering if we could use a reference. ( 5 years and 3692 days ago )

CMYK46: The way I see this, we're using only letters and numbers in our design...I assume brushes are considered outside sources too? ( 5 years and 3692 days ago )

elficho: the rules say nothing about brushes so i think so too.. which would make half of these entries off theme. i would NOT want to be a mod right now!

( 5 years and 3692 days ago )

CMYK46: Well, it's not hard to make a design with only letter forms...most fonts have interesting forms to work with! ( 5 years and 3692 days ago )

Contest Moderator: Brushes from the internet are considered as outside sources and cannot be used. ( 5 years and 3692 days ago )

dmspaulding07: What about the use of ASCII? ( 5 years and 3691 days ago )

nasirkhan: There are some software available, which generated ascii art using user specified image. IMO using Ascii Art Generator software for contest is not fair ( 5 years and 3691 days ago )

Contest Moderator: Well, I had to do a bit of research here, the use of Ascii Art Generator software will not be allowed ( 5 years and 3691 days ago )

Keiley22: i would suggest to people to not type in typography because the first link that i get is this http://www.noupe.com/design/40-killer-typographic-posters-photoshop-effects-and-tutorials.html if you look at them all, you will see there are pics ect in them. Iv'e noticed a fe entries have pictures in them, is that allowed? ( 5 years and 3690 days ago )

bedic: No external sources/images only letters and numbers... ( 5 years and 3690 days ago )

bedic: MODS is it okay to collaborate C4D and PS?! or Illustrator and PS?! in making designs here in PXLEYES or only PS alone... ( 5 years and 3690 days ago )

Keiley22: well i just started downloading that cinema 4d to give a try

woohoo can't wait lol ( 5 years and 3690 days ago )

artist3001: WHATS ALLOWED: ( 5 years and 3690 days ago )

artist3001: - Brushes from within photoshop(not sure about the use of Illustrator, mods have to clear that out) ( 5 years and 3690 days ago )

artist3001: - No external sources whatsover. ( 5 years and 3690 days ago )

artist3001: - You may be allowed to do anything you want with your text. Can't use Ascii Art Generator(Its cheating). You must be creative. Internal brushes are allowed(sbs must be included). ( 5 years and 3690 days ago )

artist3001: - Are you allowed to copy an artwork off of the internet? NO, that counts as an external source. ( 5 years and 3690 days ago )

artist3001: - USE YOUR IMAGINATION ! ( 5 years and 3690 days ago )

bddesign: no, we cant use ascii art generator because its not 3D text. and if we do use it, it will probably get a low score, cause that stuff sucks anyway! ( 5 years and 3690 days ago )

bddesign: oh wait, my bad... i thought this was a 3d text contest, still that Ascii Art Generator is horrible lol ( 5 years and 3690 days ago )

Keiley22: seriously bddesign, if someone used that art generator, it would probably be the peice on this contest that wins, no offence, but i don't think everyone really honestly looks at the time put into a peice of art when the vote. And for people like me that haven't done something like this before, well we wouldn't know the difference, we just have to take your word that you made it

( 5 years and 3690 days ago )

kayaklovergirl: nice idea ( 5 years and 3690 days ago )

nasirkhan: keiley22, MODs here not dump. They are quiet smart to catch cheater. Here is a link of a picture, creator with such ascii generator http://www.codeproject.com/KB/web-image/ASCIIArt/ASCIIArt2.gif and another is http://www.instructables.com/files/deriv/F5P/M9I5/F4ULN87C/F5PM9I5F4ULN87C.MEDIUM.jpg ( 5 years and 3689 days ago )

JamesD: illustrator is allowed... as the contest brief says "in your favourite graphics program"..... ?? ( 5 years and 3689 days ago )

Keiley22: never said they were dumv nasirkan but thanks for putting those words out there. If you read properly, you will notice i said people like me wouldn't know how to tell the difference, therefore we aren't going to red flag it and chances are we will give a great vote score... ( 5 years and 3689 days ago )

cabldawg71: dang a generator bah!! ( 5 years and 3689 days ago )

dmspaulding07: boy you all blow ascii out of proportion. I didnt say anything about an ascii generator. Its not hard to make a real ascii picture. There are some sumbitted already that I can get a similiar affect by changing the levels within each layer. But since most are thinking of the lazy lame generators I will stay out of this contest. ( 5 years and 3688 days ago )

woodztockr: Those who cannot do... talk about it.. if it's so easy... then do it! ( 5 years and 3688 days ago )

Keiley22: lol.... see i said i wouldn't know the difference if i saw one the dms.... ( 5 years and 3687 days ago )

Contest Moderator: Any entry submitted after 2000hrs GMT Friday 20th November will be removed ( 5 years and 3685 days ago )

This was completely done in photoshop CS4. Options used: text tool, Free transform, Move tool & paint bucket for the background. My work depicts the scene - Eve's approach to Adam to taste the forbidden fruit after tasting it herself. I have made a bite mark on the fruit to visually present that it was already tasted by Eve.
