One is of a rose, and the other of a toilet. Both are about 1.2 megs roughly.

In the lack of any material on my own HD, I googled for sunset, Large images only. Turned up this, and a few others

krattapopov

anyone else notice this? looks like a robot face to me, anyone care to make it a full face?



ok shrimp you got a deadline, you arent giving us much to go on as to what type of pic you want... maybe posting up the project requirements or such?

Shrimp

Ok.. sorry.. I'll give you some guidelines!

Subject: Can be of anything, anything.. (although I am looking for something edgy and new.. a concept.. maybe something modern) I'd like somthing that meaningful.. symbolic almost!

but you must remember I'm not expecting u to do the finished piece.. just give me ideas/inspiration!

I'd like it either A3 or A2.. either way I can resize it!

Thanks alot guys and gals.. any questions just ask! :):)

Gordon

So... you are asking if we have ideas for something. Anything. You're getting lots of ideas but nothing is good enough?

What do you think ffs? Is this your college assignment or something for work? Any ideas yourself other than - "interesting" and "meaningful" and "symbolic"?

To add some help however: Thich Quang Duc set himself on fire some years ago.

Later popularised by rage against the machine album cover. But how about you read the passage I linked to and take the picture and alter it as you see fit wrt the article?

What in the flying hell?

It's right there Shrimp, browse away to your heart's content.

And krattapopov banned for a week for not reading the charter.

this is just silly to be honest. you seem to want people to just keep posting up pics/doing all the work for you/until a pic hits you with inspiration.

go and do the work yourself. A2/A3 pics you're gonna need pretty damned big pics and they're quite hard to find for free so you've got a bit of work to do.

To not be completely negative try the flickr tags here to find something:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/

If you poke around in there you'll find a lot of stuff and a lot of it is available at quite high resolutions too.

If you have specific technique questions or want helpful critique i'll help but off you go and do some work first.

I see he old iron fist of the boards mods is punching its weight again.

Did you have to ban Krattapopov? Could you not just have given him a warning?
Agreed, he broke the rules but he was just trying to be helpful.
