Round #004; Challenge #11: Submission Post
I hope you're all planning on seeing the HBP in the next few days!!
Back here at hogwarts_battle we're reached the semi-finals as we're into the penultimate Challenge of this Round. Therefore, with three contestants remaining we're going to up the ante and have 2 themes...
Theme 1: Narnia
Another tricky one, but it can work. Think of something from C S Lewis’ Chronicles of Narnia and adapt it into an icon from J K Rowling’s Harry Potter stories. Both are magical franchises, and both have similar themes. Perhaps you want to photo manipulate images from both types of films? Or perhaps you want to take words or names from the Narnia books and apply them to someone from Harry’s world?
For inspiration, check these out:
• Wikipedia
• Narnia Wikia
Theme 2: Photo Manipulation
As technical challenges go, this one is as simple or as difficult as you wish to make it. With your image editing programme (PSP, Photoshop, GIMP, et al) you must take at least two separate images and put them together. This is to put your technical skills to the challenge!
You can put Harry’s head on Buckbeak, or change the colour of Hermione’s Yule Ball dress. Perhaps you would rather put a non-canon couple together and make it look like they’re being intimate?
But this isn’t just about warping imagery! After all, this is still an icontest… so after you’ve manipulated your chosen images, you must still turn it into a snazzy icon. So don’t forget your light textures, fonts, brushes and other techniques!!
You need to use this handy little Text Area Box when you submit your icon. Just copy & paste the contents into a comment & fill in your details.
