<center>Welcome to PPT's Graphics Academy</center>

Welcome to PPT's Finest Graphic Academy. We're currently hosting our Annual Graphics Competition. Where we will crown one of you as this year's PPT Honorary Student. Do you want to learn more about this competition?


Schedule:
You will be given a new assignment every week. You must fulfill that assignment, whether it's a blog, set or wallpaper. You must also fulfill all of the requirements given by us that round.

Hand your assignments in by posting on the thread in your following format.



Our professors will grade your assignments out of ten and the people with the lowest average will be eliminated.


Grades:
There are two ways to measure your grades in PPT's Graphics Academy.

Firstly, you have your Average Grade, which is the professors' average score for your assignment that round. Also, you have your cumulative grade, which is the professor's ratings each round accumulated.


Ranks:
Depending on your grades, you will be put in different categories, or "ranks". The ranks are S, A, B and C. Everyone starts at C rank. The higher your rank is, the harder your assignments can be. However, the higher your rank is, the harder it is for you to get eliminated. Here is a chart of the ranks, how many accumulative points you need to enter the rank, the average grade you'll need each assignment to stay in that rank. how many people can be eliminated from that rank, and the assignments you'll possibly receive.

S - 90 Points - 9.0 - 0 - Anything is possible
A - 50 Points - 8.0 - 1 - Sets, LJ Icons, Blogs, Banners, Wallpapers
B - 20 Points - 7.0 - 2 - Sets, LJ Icons, Blogs, Banners
C - 00 Points - 0.0 - 3+ - Sets, LJ Icons

The people with the lowest average in C will be eliminated, then B, then A. For example, if I say during an assignment that up to 4 people can be eliminated, I'll eliminate the people first from C, but if there is only one person in C rank, then I can only eliminate 2 from B rank. If there aren't any people in B, I'll eliminate 1 person from A, so only 2 people will be eliminated if that happens. Nobody will ever be eliminated from S rank, however, if I find that people are doing great and nobody is getting eliminated, I will raise the grade average for S ranks. Ranks will be eliminated the final round. If there happens to be a tie, the person with more cumulative points will be eliminated.

If you happen to score below your rank's average score, you will drop down one rank, and you cannot increase in rank for another two rounds. You can, however, continue dropping.


Awards:
Winner of this competition will recieve the title of PPT Honorary Student, and 50,000 in neopoints.


Rules of Conduct:
1. Posting a graphic that you have not made is absolutely not tolerated. You will be disqualified from this competition and a moderator will be contacted. You may also not post Collaborations (work between more than one person), the work you post must be entirely yours.
2. You may not use drawings/photographs/images from deviantArt unless you have explicit permission from the artist.
3. You must include ALL images you used that is not part of your program's presets. This includes background images, images you used for texture, abstract 3-D renders and more.
4. Please be respectful of all other peers and staff.
5. If you do not hand in an assignment, you will be eliminated immediately.
6. If you are going to be away for any period of time, let me know in advance so I can give you your assignment beforehand.
7. Please PM all other questions to me.


Professor Profiles
We here at PPT's Graphic Academy feel it's only fair that students know how our professors rate and what ticks them off.

Sounds interesting, I'd like to join ^^;

Check the first sentence of Rule 1, WIS xD

Haha, fixed.

Joining cause you said so. D:

And I fixed your typos kinda, so I might as well join. xD

Can I join?

I'd like to join.

I'll give it a go

Pretty please with a cherry on top may I join my dear Swiss-wis? XD

BTW, do you have to post where you got your brushes, too? :O

This looks fun....I've done some graphics for LJs and other forums before, I think I'll give it a shot^^

Hmm, I was actually debating this, but I think sometimes, most people dont remember where they got their brushes and such. =\ Although, I think it would be asking too much to have people make another blank, white file and stamp the brushes they used, so I think I'll just leave it up to the judge's discretion on how much they think is brushed.

I'm in!!

This sounds awesome, WIS.

I actually have little to no experience with graphics at all, except for crappy things I've made in paint and two sets, but... um... sure, I'll sign up. I'm a glutton for punishment. At least I can be eliminated early and give everyone else a better chance.

Mr. WIS, you know I'd like to join.

I'll join.

This sounds like fun!
