The comp this time is in aid of welcoming back our mod Oolongcha.

You must create a card welcoming him back. In MS Paint.

The rules are -

• 530 wide by 630 long / high
• Must be done in Paint
• Must say "Welcome back Oolongcha" without the speech marks
• Any other text or images are allowed
• Spelling mistakes will render the entry invalid
• One entry per member

Entries must be sent by PM to me or AB76 by next Tuesday 3pm

Oh flippin heck lol I'm a shocker on MS won't be entering guys the best I can do on ms is a stick man hahaha!

What? What a cop out. Its dead easy. Doesnt have to be anything fancy. If you can use whatever you use, you can stick a bit of text on paint

hahaha lol aybe if i decide i have time but if i do i doubt itll be anything special

If you really wanted to you could knock something up in two mins I chose to do it in paint so that more people could take part. Its that easy

What you like

Simple

I do hope your post isn't just in reply to Andrews ......

I dunno i'm confused now (edit, i get it now )

I thought this would be something everyone would be up for

I could do this with a photocopier on my head holding a small household pet under my chin whilst my hands were tied to my feet.

Short of changing it to an out and out painting comp and letting people send entries by post I dont see how much easier this could be made.

Thank you

In fact I am entering if that's okay?

I'm not entering the competition (that would be silly), but below is my effort:



You'll notice that the chosen font is a witty - but sustained - critique on historical materialism, while the the background colour captures the perfectly a neo-functionalist approach to structuralism, reminiscent of the surrealism employed in Margritte's "ceci n'est pas une pipe". The radical take on framing the piece - using pink spray - repesents humanity's alienation, of course.

Of course its ok AB . All entries to now be sent to me please


The pics not showing up

But I can see it

Direct link

nah sorry oolongcha I can't see it either

I don't know why not...

Doesn't the link work, either....? (Works for me....)

I'm entering, just checking when it's got to be in before taking Slip tut woods

Better...?

I see it now Next tuesday 3pm babs, see the first post

I will enter too.......

i'll give everyone a laugh yes i will enter

I have two entries already

I'll get mine in on monday got celebrations going all weekend

Much copy pasting being done here.

Thank F*ck for PNG files.

Yeah i think thats what everyone should remember - save it as a png, not as a jpg otherwise it'll save all fuzzy

Remember deadline is 3pm tomorrow

The entries are up and you now have until this Saturday 5pm to vote

I must say, i'm rather disappointed that there werent more entries, seeing as everyone has the Paint application and is very easy to use.

Greeting cards are more of a girl thing I'm not keen on them in the real world but
I would do one for one of the BUKF babes if they went and came back.

This isnt the real world Maybe i should have called it a poster instead of a card

Errr number 2 is showing him the door

hey, sorry I couldn't enter been really busy recently what with new job and preparing misen some accomodation 4 uni

but I voted

My vote is in as well
good luck all

ive voted

voted.............3 is great

I voted

No 2 was the one for me
they are all good well done peeps

I've voted And i'm very impressed with what these three have done with Paint. I'd especially like to know how #1 did that white star

I have to say that I'm really impressed, as well

I voted No.2 but they were all very good

Just over 3 hours left to vote

Finally made up my mind which one I wanted to vote for...!

For me, it was a hard decision between 2 and 3. 2 has really gone to town, using loads of the different tools that paint has.. where as 3 has been really inventive and pasted bits onto it, and the font is great

cough cough
