ok i'm lost. I have no idea what ACDSEE is and emaone is speaking a foreign language to me

ACDSEE is a photo enhancing program, which did that water affect. You can get one from ebay (ebay is my friend). or look at the website. http://www.acdsee.com/ or you can just look it up on ebay....about $40 without shipping. But it is a good program that does things like that water affect that photoshop doesn't, not that I know of anyways.

When i saw that i though yeh well i've been there already and it's just blurry, then i right clicked on the pic and chose soft light and still nothing happened then all of a sudden ( after reading a different tut earlier) i saw that i could change the opacity in the box which shows what you're currently working on, whatever that box is called and i figured it out!! yay

Well none of the judges have sent in scores so I may have to judge again this round... But I need a trustworthy judge as lovelybones didn't submit scores for last round either.

Judge 1

Tia Christiansen:
The ad looks great especially with the ripple but, you could’ve still used the Australis logo as it was supposed to be an ad for them. The sport looks nice very unique but Holden? Bah! Ford’s better! Lol the band junkies shot is fabulous but without looking at the genre you had been given I couldn’t work out what it was. I thought it was R ‘n’ B! 7/10

Leisel Bray:
Nice ad but it is a bit over blurry in the corner but you already said something about that afterwards. Surfing shot is great... Nice and wet. Lol I love your rock pic. I’d go see them! 8/10

Shayla Anderson:
Nice ad but somehow... Weird. You can’t see her face clearly so no emphasis on the makeup. Cute sport pic but you can’t see her face... She’s looking down, not at the camera. I love the band shot! Well I love emo too. Lol great effort! 7/10

Beaven Nadine Way:
Love the Australis ad! Her lips are sort-of bold too so they stand out. Nice band shot. Left out the microphone though! Haha. I like the smoke effect. I love your sporty shot! Looks very professional! 9/10

Judge 2:
Tia - 8/10
Leisel - 10/10
Shayla - 7/10
Bee - 8/10


Judge 3:
Shayla Anderson = 7.5

I really liked your australis ad ... it was really good. I did find it to be a little dark and quite busy with decorations. Sometimes simple but elegant is just nice. I know the ad is for makeup but amongst all the deco and colour clashing i noticed the tiny makeup down the bottom. The skateboarding picture was very clever, your choice of pictures and poses worked out very nicely *hats off to you*. Your final picture i loved the most, the lighting was good and I love the whole EMO gothic look ... their outfits and the way they all come together makes it a very nice photo to look at ... nice job!

Leisel Bray = 8.25

Such a beautiful girl here! I liked the australis ad a lot, and I actually really do enjoy their makeup too. It looks like a great ad, it has all the elements of a real looking advertisement. It was simple and very sweet and I think you did a fantastic job with it. The surfing picture was great ... you turned in a very clever photo incorporating the real backgrounds and sims together. My only criticism is that maybe the flower on the side of her face is maybe a bit too large. Outstanding band photo, definitely one of my favourites for the round! The color and action was very exciting and i think you did heaps well with it.

Tia Christiansen = 6

I liked your first picture, I love the watery mirror effects you added to the picture, was very clever. I think that even though it's an ad it doesn't really scream model advertising. The second picture has all the right elements for a car racing but i did find it to be a little dull. There is no real action to it and I think you could have made it really exciting and maybe added some more atmosphere. As for your last picture it had some nice effects but I didn’t really get the "singing under the big top thing" being a bad junkie ... why is she flying solo? Either way you still turned in a nice entry.

Bee Way = 7.75

Nice overall round entry here, god solid one. Your speedo sport ad was awesome. Plenty of action and Bee really does look so pretty in it. Your Australis ad was great i did like it very much but i would have liked to see your model the bigger focus than the lipstick. I wish her eyes were open for the picture to enhance her beauty because she really does have beautiful features. The band picture I wish the characters were closer to the camera. My only criticism for your whole entry is that you tend to use the hair flowing effect quite excessively, sometimes their hair is nice how it is. Considering that hair doesn’t usually flow in a studio.

Judge 4:
Great entries as usual guys!

Tia Christiansen - 7/10
Your make up shot was ok... except it was supposed to be Australia, not face of Australia?
The V8 super cars are very Aussie LOVE IT!
Very creative band shot. Although im not sure how it was pop.

Leisel Bray – 9/10
I really like your Australis shot, it’s very cute, and you look very pretty!
I like the way you incorporate ‘billabong’ into the whole surfing thing, very interesting.
Your Rock shot is very awesome! The way this shot was produced was good.

Shayla Anderson - 7/10
Make up shot is good, you’d probably see it in a men’s magazine, love the angel theme to go with the make up!
The only thing with this Skate scene is that’s your just standing there! Would have been good to see you grinding the bar!
About the emo scene, fantastic! The pale skin and black hair looks great!

Bee Way – 6/10
I like your australis shot. Facial expression really suits the theme of flowers and pink make up almost as if you’re saying SWEET!
Sport shot not posted?
Hip hop shot is ok, good try! The clothes seem to be more indie-rock.

Overall:
Tia:
28/40
Leisal:
35.25/40
Shayla:
28.5/40
Beaven:
30.75/40

Favourites:
Judge 1: Shayla’s emo pic.
Judge 2: Leisel's entry was ace
Judge 3: ??
Judge 4: Leisel’s entry

Highest scorer: Leisal.

Eliminated: I am very sorry to announce that Tia has been eliminated. I hope you enjoyed this contest whilst you were in it. You only lost by .5 so it was a close call. Happy simming!

Round 4 will be posted soon hopefully.

It wouls have been nice cassie if you let the judges know it was ok for us to use face of australia as mumo did and told them emaone posted a link to the swimming shot because they may have lost points for that :(

So when do we find out what round 4 tasks are and will it be the final round? I'm still a bit confused with this contest lol

Welcome to Round 4 ladies! You are the top 3. This will be the last round.

Task one - Campaign Ad

You love to contribute to the community, that's why your organisation has asked if you would be in their new Ad that is going to be splashed around Australia. You are to design the ad that's going to be everywhere.

Requirements

Has to include the logo of the organisation.
You must be one of the main focal points.
Can be colour or Black and White, but if it's going to be in Black and White I would like the logo to be in colour.
Background and hair/clothes have to match your topic.
Normal rules stated in first post.


Task Two - The Next Miss Australia Cycle 2 Banner

I would like you to create the banner for the next cycle of this contest. I would like it to be something to do with Australia with her on the Australian flag as a background, but if not whatever you think looks best.

Requirements:

Matching background and outfit/hair to your subject.
Must be in Colour, no Black and White.
Normal rules stated in first post.

Questions:
Why did you choose this campaign? What do they do?
Why is being Australian important to you?


This round will end on the 18th. Sorry for the short round! Good luck!

Campaine? Can i have an example/s? Can it be real or does it have to be made up?
Also dress as Australia?? Personally i'd like to show the world that australia is normal and we don't carry our schoolbooks in kangaroo pouches but that wouldn't be very creative
How do you dress to represent your country?? You mean wear the colours?? I hate green and gold...what does this mean???

Task 1 - Campaign ad - RSPCA

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y134/starwyn/leiselrspca.jpg

That's meant to be a bandage around the Koala's arm it didn't turn out really well though :(
I also created her hat and clothing with the logo but couldn't get a good shot of it

Task Two - The Next Miss Australia Cycle 2 Banner

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y134/starwyn/leiselbanner-1.jpg

Questions:
Why did you choose this campaign? What do they do?
The RSPCA is Australia’s largest animal welfare organisation, caring for all creatures great and small.
Why is being Australian important to you? Because we're a laid back easy going nation, we are the lucky country and are not out to be bigger and better than the rest. We are who we are. Aussie Aussie Aussie Oy Oy Oy

LOL

Why did you choose this campaign? What do they do?

I chose this campaign because WWF happens to be the biggest wildlife savng campaign in the world and the campaigns/ acivities held are going on efficiently and they really do raise awarness among all. They protect animals especially endangered ones and preserve their natural habitats.

Why is being Australian important to you?
Because us Australians have our own culture. We have our own ways of lifestyle and why copy others? We should be proud of our own animals, our own food, our own celeberations. And of course, our own Australia :D:D


PS: just if you dont know, the animals in my ad are : Ecidna and Possum :D

When I was thinking of what kind of picture I should have taken of me. I thought about the underwater creatures that don't always get the needed attention. What would Australia be without all the tropical fish? The picture is a bit fantasy with me being a mermaid and all, but the message I'm trying to get through is "When You Litter in the Ocean, think of what type of creatures won't get discovered, because before they get a chance they'll most likely be extinct." I would love to see our underwater creatures also be saved from extinction.

When I was given the chance to design the banner, I wanted to show the many sides it really takes in order to win. If you want to be a winner you have to be able to have style, detirmination, and poise. The banner has multiple pictures of me, because it shows that the girls in the next cycle aren't only going to be expected to take one picture and that's it. We want to see them portray many sences of fashions. ((And yes if you notice my nails, those stars on them are representing Australia))




Questions:

Why did you choose this campaign? What do they do?
The Campaign I choose was PETA, because they help all kinds of animals (including the underwater ones). I love it, because it's against Animal testing too. I seriously only buy makeup that says "Not Tested On Animals."

Why is being Australian important to you?
Well being Australian is so much more then I can put into words. It's a chance to be unique, fun, and caring. I love being an Australian, because being one I want to send the message out to girls that you don't have to be the skinniest or pretties girl in the world to be beautiful, just look deep within yourself, and you'll see that you truely are stunning.



((EDIT: PETA IS A REAL ORGAINIZATION!!!))

Lol thanks alot Starwyn. The animals? I found them on Google :D
Just type in their names :D :lol:. Anyway, as for the skintone, hmm I'll have to check back, it's just one random skintone i used. She was in Joe's Charm school contest and she needed to be really pale so i just picked out one random skintone :D
I'll check again to see what it is :D
and Pixie, OMG your shots are amazing!! your graphics are just wow!!!
Great job. I love the banner :D

EDIT : Done

PS: Pixie, just so you know, your banner is big :D

Cassie- Can i just ask...what size was the banner meant to be? I thought they were all meant to be 550x650 according to the forum rules...if the banner size is meant to be different can you quickly tell me

ps: I don't like my final round shots anymore :( Even though i spent so much time on them

pss: you could pm me with the name of the skintone if you like :) one more question...what did you type into google to get your background?

oh and pixie- what font is that in your banner? Sorry for all the questions

emaone
18th Aug 2007, 4:21 AM
Aww Starwyn i love your shots! lol , I can tell you spent loads of time on it, must have been hard with the koala! :D
Anyway..I'm not sure about the banner. Lets wait for Cassie.
The name of the skintone, yeap sure I'll PM it to you :D
I typed ' Echidna' and possum. THat's all :D then go through the photos.
and The font in pixie's bg, i think it's from an aussi brand ...right?

18th Aug 2007, 4:29 AM
Um...The title of the font is kind of innapropriate .lol. I went font download crazy last night. The font is called Cocaine Sans..I have no idea where I downloaded it. I googled: Download fonts and I got a bunch of sites.

Emaone-Thanks for letting me know...I guess I'll have to change that in a little while....It gets frustrating when i make my pictures smaller .lol. They always get smudged up, but I'll try my hardest to make it look good again :).


Both of you-I'm totaly envious of your pictures! Don't change a thing, if anything I think your pictures are better then mine!

Thank you both..and good luck!

ooh things are moving EEK LOL Don't worry too much Cassie, like you said it's your first time hosting...I think maybe the judges need to pm'd at each round to let them know when it ends maybe? and if they'll be available. I don't know just a thought... :)

This round you were judged on your entry and your enthusiasm for the whole contest.



Judge 1



Leisel Bray -
I love your RSPCA ad. It’s great! The koala is so cute too. The banner is nice – incorporating Australia things into it. I like how you’ve done the flag in the background. 8.5/10
Enthusiasm: 9.5/10

Shayla Anderson -
I love your Peta ad. It had so many different little hidden treasures! But it was a bit blocky and hard around her head. Banner is great. Looks very modern. 8/10
Enthusiasm: 9/10

Beaven Nadine Way -
Aww! The WWF ad is so cute! I love it! I love the banner! It’s great, but her skin looks a bit gross around the edges. With the opera house and the flag in the background. Superb! Lol 9/10
Enthusiasm: 9/10

Fave: Bee way’s WWF ad.

Leisel Bray - 8/10
I'm really liking both pictures here! The koala one is adorable and I'm loving the banner! Very elegant. Confessional was a bit short.

Shayla Anderson - 10/10
Shayla is very pretty and I love the creativity behind the first picture! Your banner is also very nice and professional! Also, a good detailed confessional.

Bee Way - 9/10
How cute are those animals in that ad? Adorable! Very cute ad. Lovely banner, it might've looked a little better if it was more in focus. Nice confessional.

My favorite picture is Shayla's first picture because of it's creativity.
