An Exhibition...

Ok, heres a thought: We have some serious talent here in image manipulation and we could easily knock out a showcase of 15-20 really good pieces from what we already have an what we could pull together in a month or two...

then we could put on a mini exhibition of all the stuff on a separate webpage on Boards (I'll make the webspace stuff "go"...)

We'd need to pick the very best of pictures, stuff that would really make a statement or wow the audience with its technical ability to subtly alter a real world image.
call it: "The Camera Never Lies" or something.

Or am I stone cold mad?

sounds like a gr8 idea

ill get to work. If ne1 can post up images they think would be suitable for photoshoppery it'd be a great help

Yavvy · 28-01-2004 02:07PM

cool ider.....

mr_angry · 28-01-2004 02:53PM

It has to be originally a real-world(™) picture then? Hmmm. This could be interesting, but it could take a while aswell...

mr_angry · 28-01-2004 02:56PM

Why am I already thinking of altering DeV's picture from that Irish Times article???

Hehe...

Thats is all

sionnach · 28-01-2004 03:40PM

omfg skeelz, so subtly done....ud never know it was photoshopped....

angelofdeath · 28-01-2004 05:00PM

great idea dev, ill wait till sionnach posts something to see what the standard should be, any preferences as to size, i was thinking 800x600

mr_angry · 28-01-2004 05:03PM

OMFG! I just spilled a cop of tea over myself and my keyboard laughing at that!

Good job my work computer is to crap for it to have done any damage.

Oops.

Ho. Ho.

mr_angry · 29-01-2004 12:24AM

Here's my first, and very basic attempt:

This is just for the laugh. I'm gonna work on something more artistic from now on...

feylya · 29-01-2004 01:16AM

For what it's worth, here's my half hour attempt

heheh those are funny but I think we should stay away from Photoshopping Boards.ie into stuff (though I have to say those two are pretty good!). It would be cool if people who arent even Boards.ie people could look at the work and think "wow, I wonder how they did that..."

I'm going thru an uninspired phase

. (a long one) .

mr_angry · 02-02-2004 08:33PM

I'm still working with the Kalidascope theme at the moment. This is a work-in-progress. I think I'll introduce some more colour into the kalidascopes themselves.

Anybody got any ideas for a background? I'm still looking around for something appropriate. The theme of the piece revolves around the concept of following a kind of road (fate?) towards a higher plane of existence (arty-farty or what!). I kind of saw the 'outside' of the kalidascopes being a distracting influence to the correct path (the inside).

Feel free to contribute.

PrecariousNuts · 03-02-2004 12:13AM

Is there any theme to this at all? I'm kinda lost already.

Panda · 03-02-2004 01:42PM

hey mr angry, i've a good image of train tracks that might suit, not sure about the size though....

have it for manana.

yeah, do we have a theme or is it just try to be as impressive and seamless as possible?

mr_angry · 03-02-2004 03:01PM

Sorry. Think I might have gone a bit overboard and confused everyone. That really should be in the Art forum, rather than here. I think DeV's idea was that we'd manipulate real-world images, rather than create new ones. I think he kind of clarified things with his "Life on Mars" thread.

Panda · 04-02-2004 01:02PM

regardless, heres the pic

mr_angry · 04-02-2004 05:24PM

Cheers Panda, that is almost exactly what I was looking for! The image proportions are a little off, but I'm pretty sure I can blend things together, with a little work.

Cheers m8.

PrecariousNuts · 06-02-2004 11:40PM

I call it Boardshenge, what do you think?

CuLT · 06-02-2004 11:48PM

That is excellent!
Fair play.

PrecariousNuts · 07-02-2004 03:57PM

Anyone got any suggestions that they think could work? I've got a bit of photoshoppers block at the moment.

DeVore · 08-02-2004 04:13PM

Precariousnuts, thats pretty cool.

What I was thinking of with the exhibition is kinda like a "Best of Pix'n'Mix" featuring some of the top notch stuff done here and some pieces specially done for the exhibition. Maybe 10-12 pieces in total but as high quality as possible.
