Hello all you creative people, similar to last year I will be hosting a "Design a Poster for the Ball" competition.

Here is the thread for the event:
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...16#post4615716

The aim is to create an event poster for the ball, it can be any shape, style, color, whatever as long as it has these things within it:

The title of event
The date,place and time
Fitting references to it being a Masquerade Ball
Including the host is optional and will not score any bonus points
Entrys will be accepted up until May the 30th

The Prizes

1st place, 50k + 25 Ecto and 5 Z keys - Widowmaker - Recieved

2nd place, 25k + 25 Ecto - The Black Earth - Recieved

3rd place, 25k - Fog Accomplice
4th place - 20k - Drakeus Maximillion

The amount of ecto and z keys will be determined by the stock of donations I recieve. The 200k is definate.

Best of luck applicants, see you at the Ball!

That sounds fun, if only i was talented =\

Hrm... I might be up for this, if I survive AP tests... eh, that'd give me 2 weeks to work on it, that should be enough.

EDIT: Oh, is there somewhere I can find screenies of previous Masquerade Balls so I can get an idea what it looks like/what people did?

Last year's thread: http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s....php?p=3895051

I already have a basic idea of what I'm gonna do. Got 2 weeks left of school so I won't have good time until that's all over though.

Really cool event you have going here. I'll try this poster thing out.

Mr. G · May 05, 2009, 03:11 PM // 15:11

Hmm might throw my hat into this, staff are allowed to enter right?

Konig Des Todes · May 05, 2009, 03:25 PM // 15:25

If I can enter, and I'm gonna be a trivia person, I would have to say yes.

Mr. G · May 05, 2009, 03:35 PM // 15:35

Well here's be entry then:

Gl to all those who are entering!

Jumping Is Uselss · May 05, 2009, 04:05 PM // 16:05

Sweet i'll enter this contest. It was fun making one last year.

Verene · May 05, 2009, 05:16 PM // 17:16

I gave it a go -

Hopefully I've caught any typos - I'm still not used to my laptop and having to hit the keys a bit harder than my regular computer, heh.

Edit: I just looked at the wiki page and saw the invite from last year...my poster being very similar is incredibly unintentional >.<

Mr. G · May 05, 2009, 05:46 PM // 17:46

/doh I didn't put the time on my poster! Good job I kept a hard copy.

Morag D · May 05, 2009, 05:54 PM // 17:54

had to do one as well.
the mesmer lady is soooo popular

Operative 14 · May 05, 2009, 08:41 PM // 20:41

I took some inspiration from the picture that Mr. G posted of his Texmod to Serenity Temple for the occasion (thank you once again!), hence all the purpliness.

Good luck to all who enter, I can wait for this years Ball.

Mr. G · May 05, 2009, 09:03 PM // 21:03

ooooh, thats a good one

Konig Des Todes · May 05, 2009, 11:04 PM // 23:04

Ok, I gotta know, how do you guys get the mesmer? (I'm not wanting to use the mesmer itself, but a different image, but it's just as hard to get that as the mesmer)...

xNomaDx · May 05, 2009, 11:09 PM // 23:09

You just cut her out. That, or use somebodies render, in which case you should give credit to

Image itself I found googling for GW images :P

As for cutting things out, I use the pen tool in Photoshop. This is a decent tutorial.

Mr. G · May 05, 2009, 11:38 PM // 23:38

Fansite Kit

Theres ton's of GW based stuff there, including Renders of all your fave GW characters (Including "Generic warrior" "Female ranger shooting bow" and "Mask wielding Mesmer")

Operative 14 · May 06, 2009, 12:43 AM // 00:43

Magnetic Lasso tool is what I used. I only have PSElements, so I don't have that fancy-shamncy pen tool. :P

Konig Des Todes · May 06, 2009, 01:03 AM // 01:03

@xNomaDx I was doing that, but god was it annoying.

@Mr. G Thanks forgot about that.

I feel outclassed as I don't have photoshop or any "special" picture program... >_>
