Jeremy’s Rants and Stuff

So within my last post I talked about an online forum called the Grafix Lounge. If you don’t remember it, check the last post I made on here. Ok.. did you read it? Good.. now on with the post.

Well this forum is growing at a pretty good rate so far. We have started a new project and the owner has even already set up the first contest. Here is a brief overview of what has already transpired within the last 2 weeks:

Lounge Projects:

Recreation Project #1 - You take a known image (i.e.. movie poster.. cd cover.. billboard.. etc.) and try to recreate it. I’m not saying that it has to be exact and on the money… but it could be light hearted and funny as well. I guess that they could create a “spoof” or “parody” of the original.

GL 2007 Contest #1 - “The Grafix Lounge Triathlon” - Each member will have the pleasure to participate on their own time depending on what stage they’re best at, such as “designing”, “HTML” and picking out the image and thinking of the content to develop and publish your submission.

The Grafix Lounge also has a “Battlegrounds” area where artists can compete (for fun) against each other. We will also be starting “Appointed Battles” here pretty soon. There is always something being added to the quaint community all the time.

All in all it’s a great place to come and hang out, learn new techniques, share resources and ideas and make new friends. If you have ever been interested, or evenhave a small notion, in graphic design… I take that back… in “Art” design this is place for you. All is welcomed!

That’s it for now. I’ll right up more on the Lounge as time progresses.
