The Presidential Election Poster Challenge Winners Announced

Blue

Technological Romance
Now that we've got our names

  • The Accursed Nation Party - J.C.
    The Bold Blue Party - Blue
    Sons of Norton party - Doom Shepard
    Neo-Rhino Party - alphabetagamma

We need to get the numbers and hit the ground running. Enter the three challenges that the Party Leaders must face (or have their subordinates face, for them). Each challenge is worth points. These points don't actually do anything directly in the final election, they simply state which party is better at what. The three challenges are the Photoshop Challenge, the Review Challenge and the Debate Challenge (in that order).

So today marks the first day in the first challenge, the Photoshop challenge. The objective is to prove your Party's ability in artistic expression, stylistic knowledge, technical knowledge and persuasive ability.

The limits are that the poster must be 400x600 or larger(portrait or landscape) and in the format JPG, PNG, GIF or BMP, and must be submitted before the Monday after next (July 11th), so you have two weeks to make the poster- make it a good one.

The judging will be based upon four criteria:

  • a. Originality (How original the poster is in content)
    b. Ingenuity (Cleverness, wit or humor in the poster)
    c. Compellingness (Strength and influence of the message it has towards the party it supports (or against the parties it does not)
    d. Composition (Placement, organization, flow and/or motion of the visual elements of the poster)

Obviously this is also your parties opportunity to make some kind of badass signature or something in order to get the word out on your awesome party. Get the whole forum interested in why your party should be elected.

__________

And so by a panel of judges, we have a winner.

Our panel of external judges consist of a Vanja Lukac, Stefan Klippenstien, "Dean" and two others who wished to remain anonymous.

Okay, so is this intended to be a Party poster, or a Candidiate poster? Because naturally the two will be different.

Brain is already storming.

Whichever you think will both win the competition, and curry the favor of the populace.

 
I don't know

I feel like that picture could easily have been done in MSpaint

also, it uses a template

It was more satirical than serious.

Most of us don't have Photoshop, and even if I did my artistic ability is matched only by certain comatose individuals.

my comment was not very serious itself, though the satire does not translate well, I suppose.

You see? Us bold blues can have fun.

 
New mission statement: "every other party's talking about ‘change’. We will not change a thing, we will stay the course. Read my lips: 'No new ideas.'”
