Excess of PPTTG 8 (Round 1-3)
Sun Jan 29, 2006 1:20 am
Well, here it is after a 3 month hiatus!
Welcome to the 8th PPT Top Graphician!
PPTTG is a contest to test your graphics skills and knowledge of a graphic's function. It is set up in rounds. Each round, contestants will make a graphic following the requirements I give.
An example of how rounds work is below.
-I give you the round requirements.
-When finished with the graphic, you PM me the graphic, as well as the original image(s) used to make the set as well as what program(s) you have used.
-Once all sets have been entered by contestants, I put them all into one post.
-The judges rate the sets. (Contestants are NOT permitted to change their sets once I have put them all into this post. )
-At the end of their ratings, the judges will pick a set number of contestants for that round they think do not qualify for the next round. The contestants with the most votes will not be permitted to participate in the next round.
How your graphics will be rated:
-They will be rated on the creativity, use of color, use off effects, and their overall appearance.
-They will still be judged on their overall quality in comparison to the other entries. (If you are using a program with limited functions, like Paint, I'm sorry to say you won't get very far.)
- The judges will give you a thought out rating with opinions and suggestions on how to improve.
-To put it simply: The 'best' graphics will stay, the 'worst' will go.
Additional RULES
-Graphic must be entered within the time limit.
-All requirements for your entry that are given each round much be followed.
-You are not permitted to ask for ratings in the Worhshop or on any other forum, for any graphic you are entering in this contest.
-You will not be notified if you seemingly forget about this contest. You don't submit anything = disqualification.
- Do not say you are going to lose/statement along the lines of you not winning. You'll find out eventually if you win or lose...but there is no use in stating it before it may or may not actually happen.
- If for some reason you are going away for an extended period of time, then please PM me with how long you will be gone. If you PM me soon enough, I can give you the requirements for up to two future rounds.
-If you are unsure that your graphics meet requirements, ASK. However, make sure you ask this well ahead of time. If it takes you longer than the original time limit to fix the graphic, you will be disqualified.
-If you have a problem with a judge or me, PM me and explain your problem. In the past I've mostly only heard about problems through the PPT grapevine. If I only hear them second hand, then sorry, there's nothing I can do.
Note to previous top graphicians-
You can only win this contest once. You also will only be permitted to participate up until a certain round if you choose to participate again.
Feel free to PM me or post here with any questions you may have.

I'll probably be voted off the island quickly, but-
What? This isn't Survivor? It's PPTTG?
Then I'll be voted off of the island even quicker. Count me in.
