Photoshop Phriday, season 2 premiers with a brand-spanking-new challenge and a much-hipper homepage look.
The new page can be seen here, in all its triadic glory.
For those of you unfamiliar with Hatrack P.P. , it's a contest open to anyone - photoshop whiz or good-humored hack - who wants to submit an entry. Each week, a new challenge is announced and entries are due by midnight on Thursday. (which is techinically midnight on Friday. You know - the midnight that comes right after Thursday.) It's technically a contest with no prizes except a lot of glory, but all entries are displayed for everyone's viewing pleasure.
Last season's page can be seen here, with apologies for the broken links. (stuff still works toward the bottom)
This week's challenge, due at midnight on September 17, is:
Truth in Advertising
What this entails is any commerical image - ad, packaging, etc. with an honest description of the product (I was inspired by this Something Awful event) rather than the marketing jargon we're so used to swallowing.
All submissions should be emailed as jpg or gif attachments to blueroosterdesign AT gmail DOT com , and please reduce the file size to something reasonable.

I hope you both know that when you enter this thread, you are obligated to make a submission.
This applies to you, too, anonymous reader.
This week's is really easy in the technological department - you just have to manipulate text on an existing product.

Annie, the technological department is where I do best. It's the creative side that is hard I will try.

You can still wow us with your mad tech skillz, Josh. That can make up for a good part of creativity. Posts: 8504 | Registered: Aug 1999

I really really thought about entering this go-round even though I'm a novice at PhotoShop. I was going to find a Kerry/Edwards poster, and...uh... "modify" it....
But two things stopped me.
1) there practically isn't a Kerry/Edwards poster to be found anywhere in Republican territory of Kansas.

But see, starting fights is what Hatrack does best! I bet you could find a poster online. Try a Google image search or the democrats' homepage.

I just say midnight so I can put it together Friday morning.
And so far I've gotten entries from Nato, Moon Rabbit and AFR. Thanks, guys! Many more to come, I hope Posts: 8504 | Registered: Aug 1999

I LOVE those Annie! I'll have to admit that the Atlantis one was my favorite, but every single one made me laugh so much that all my fellow co-workers came over to see them over my shoulder...

You know, I have to keep going back to MPH's entry -- every time I look at it again I see something I didn't before! That was just brilliant -- must have taken you forever to change all of that.
The link to Homestar, the "essay" titles, everything. That is great.

The animal challenge means creating weird animals. Something like this, only probably not the same level of gruesomeness. (don't flip around to other pages if you like cats.)

Ha... that's the seventh or eighth time I've looked at mph's page, and the first time I spotted the "sponsored links." Posts: 8504 | Registered: Aug 1999

Those were all great, but porter...wow. My hat's off to you. You should email a link to it to the Cards.

You know, mph, I just today, without having seen your link to my page, changed my title to 'Eagle King of All I Survey'. So your link is right on the money. Posts: 5422 | Registered: Dec 2001

I actually agonized on the descriptions of some of those forums. I had one that I thought was pretty funny, but I was afraid it might be offensive. Posts: 143 | Registered: Apr 2004

AFR, I definitely don't deserve to win -- this was a photoshop contest, after all. I actually was worried whether Annie would accept my entry at all. The only photoshop (actually gimp) work that I did was on the posing as people poster.

Five buck says that you toyed with using "Hatrack Spinoff" as a description of GreNME. I know *I* would have, but then maybe that's why I'm the evil one.
