OH! DVD covers! Super excited. I'm glad you're liking the idea!  And I'm trying to give as much detail as possible this time without giving too many ideas away so that the entrants know exactly what we expect and what we will be marking them on.  |

 WOW!! That will be quite the task!! Can't wait to see the rest of the rules! And it will mean it's perfectly AOK to use publicity shots rather than screencaps, since that's what's always on the Charmed DVD covers, even if they look nothing like the characters.

 © ~B@MeLiSsA24@B~ For this task you will need to create 2 pieces - both of which will be Charmed DVD covers. Charmed DVD cover #1This cover must be in the style of the actual Charmed DVDs. It can be for any season of your choice and it must feature 1 sister (it can be any of the 4) and 2 other characters from the show (this cannot be any of the sisters) - but remember that the characters you use must actually be in the season you are making the cover for. The rules for this cover:1. You only need to create the front of the DVD cover. 2. It must resemble the size/ratio of the actual Charmed DVDs. 3. It must be in the same style as the real Charmed DVD covers - this means the font, types of images used, backgrounds and the extra little bits on your cover are very important. 4. You must use 3 "cut-out" images - these must be images from photoshoots - and place them onto your cover like how they actually are on the actual Charmed DVDs. Charmed DVD cover #2This cover allows you to be more creative as it will be in your own style and can be either: a - a Charmed Season 9 DVD cover featuring the characters that you think would be the leads in season 9. or b - a Charmed movie DVD cover featuring the characters that you think would be in the movie and featured on the actual DVD case. The rules for this cover:1. You only need to create the front of the DVD cover. 2. You need only do one of the mini-tasks (either "a" or "b" - not both). 3. You must choose an appropriate size/ratio for your DVD cover. 4. It must be in your own style - this means you can use whichever fonts, background images, character images, extras, etc. that you would like and place them wherever you want on the cover. 5. It must feature the title of the show/movie, the season number (if you choose to do "a") or a subtitle for the movie (if you choose to do "b" and you think that the movie would have a subtitle). 6. You can use images of as many or as few characters that you think are appropriate for the cover you choose to create. 7. You can choose which type of image (photoshoot or screencap) to use and whether or not to "cut" these images out. The Overall Rules:1. All work must be your own. 2. You must follow all the rules for the 2 individual mini-tasks. 3. You must use text and can use brushes, textures, etc. but, again, no animations. 4. The deadline to enter your piece for the 3rd round is Sunday 5th October 2008 - although, if all entries are again received before this date, the poll will be able to be opened sooner. 5. You must PM your graphics to any of the 4 judges: Piper HalliwellClare~B@MeLiSsA24@B~charmedgirl086. You must sumbit 2 DVD covers that satisfy the 2 individual mini-tasks for this round. 7. If you feel you want to redo your entry, you are permitted to do so with the acknowledgement of at least 1 judge once in the whole challenge. 8. Once you have submitted your pieces via PM, you must not tell anyone else which entry is yours or describe what yours looks like until after the results have been announced. 9. These rules are subject to change throughout this round so please check them regularly. If you need help with anything, don't understand the rules or the tasks then just send me a PM. Round 3 Entrants:HollysFan (re-did round 2)Primrose_Empath ~.:Alysha:.~ (re-did round 2)Astral Echo (re-did round 2)JoshyPoo *Mystery* Power~Of~Four Simymonna Mrs. Barbas [pulled out of challenge] Nicholas Halliwell (re-did round 1) |

Ok, so the task for Round 3 is up.  I know it's a lot to read but hopefully it will help the remaining 9 entrants understand exactly what the task is and what we will be marking them on. |

Why don't you measure it with a ruler for the size (then work out a ratio so you know what size it should be in pixels)? Or you could estimate the size.  And I meant ratio (of height v width), not resolution. Will change that now.  |

Good luck everyone. I can't wait to see what you all create for Round three. |

It's just a cover for one of the seasons of your choice with 1 of the sisters and 2 different characters (who feature in that season) on it. You have to do it in the same style as the actual DVD covers but you can alter some of the details - like the colours and photos used, etc - as long as they stay true to the style of the actual covers. It's not a remake of the season, just a redo of the packaging - if you understand. |

Do not send it to me, you can show it to anyone who's not a judge but the work and the ideas behind it must be your own.

If you do that though, wont people know which entry is yours? That would be unfair to the rest of us as your friends would vote for yours because its yours?

Hmm, forgot about that but as long as they don't see the final project, or even anything that's half way to being final, then that's alright. Or if you can make sure they don't vote then that would be better....  Maybe you should just work on it on your own. |

Best thing to do is not to show them at all. That is a little unfair to other people.

I agree totally. The work is supposed to be your own. The work--not just your final product. That should exclude betas.

^ I know what you both mean Astral Echo and Es, it is unfair to get any help from other people. It's not against the rules to show your work (drafts, before you've submitted the final piece) to other people but there's no real way to prove that other people haven't done so anyway. I think I will make that a new rule in the next round - not to show any work to anyone until after the results. |

Me personally, I wouldn't make them lose marks because you can't be exact, but Clare did say to make it as close as you possibly can. |
