PPTTG4 (LOCK!!!)

This is the temporary thread for PPTTG 4.


Welcome to the 4th round of PPT's Top Graphician! (PPTTG for short.)Originally started by Knives, it is a contest almost as literal as the title sounds, but not quite. At the end of the contest, one person shall win. But contestants will also receive advice and comments on their graphics from the judges as they move through the various rounds.

PPTTG is set up in rounds in which the contestants make sets/blogs/whatever I decide you are to make. I will sometimes give very specific requirements, or barely any at all. But all requirements must be followed.


An example of how rounds work is below.
-The requirement I give for the round is for contestants to make a set. (4-5 days will be given for you to complete a round.)
-When finished with the set, you post it, 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 two contestants they think didn't 'qualify' for the next round. The two members with the most votes to leave when all the judges have posted will not be permitted to enter 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're using a program like Paint, I'm sorry to say it is likely you will be knocked out of this competition in early rounds due to the program's limitations.
- The judges will give you a thought out rating with opinions and suggestions on how to improve. The rules for rating graphics are the same as those used on the Ratings Board in PPT Art Tech.
-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 PPT Art Tech Ratings Board 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.
-Have fun with this, everyone. :)
- NEW 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 future rounds and you can complete them before you leave.

Feel free to PM me or post here with any questions you may have.

Er, around 400x400 pixels. It can be a bit bigger, just don't make anything too huge.

Drink up me hearties. :P ...and get to work!

I'm sorry to pop up out of nowhere, but how did you do that square thing? I thought it was the dodge tool, but that looked bad.

For mine, does it look like I have red in my blog?
If so, I used orange shades, yellow shades, and brown shades.

Sorry, I am just curious as to if it looks like there is red or not.
If it does look like there is some red (which I never used), I can try and change the colours of the blog.

It's the pixelation effect (Effects >> Distortion Effects >> Pixelate) along with the wind effect (Effects >> Distortion Effects >> Wind.) :)
