lol, that's fine if he wants to start the challenge, I didn't cuz I was waiting some response from a mod, anyways...I just have one suggestion, I think annonymous blends are a bit better, so maybe next challenge, ppl should Pm the host their untagged entries =)So when ppl voted there won't be  cheating, like friends voting for their friends and such :P :wink:

Since I don't have my pc right now...and I'm still downloading psp8 in some1 else's pc :oops:  :( I'll see if I post my entry later :D

I did not. I didn't know that sb wanted to do blend challenge. I did it because I've been keeping this idea in my mind for about a week. I wanted do do blend challenge on my site but my pc isn't working very well and I can not instal frontpage express to build a site.............well I won't explain myself. The truth is nessa has got a thousands of pictures and everybody can do challenges with her. the more challenges, the better for nessa.... I think.
p.s. i'm not a dude

If you are indeed Thomas, then you are either a) a dude or b) in Poland "Thomas" is a female name.

ps. what exactly is your definition of "dude"?

Post by: ThomasEj on September 13, 2004, 01:43:21 am
I give an honour back to you. I chceck "dude" in on'line dictionary and it was translated as sth unkind. It hurt me. I've just chacked it in Cambridge dictionary and it's not rude. So give back an honour...
I hope you're not mad at me because I've opened blend challenge. I realy didn't know... If you want I can close it or ... Clarice do you want to go further with this topic ?

1-I said ok to you making the blend challenge, it was actually first mentioned by Dora, so I cant take credit for it :P
Also,I don't have my pc with my psp, so I could not host a challenge cuz I wouldn't be able to make awards, organize picture sets, etc... :roll:

2-The name thing was just because you said "I'm not a dude" so I though (as the rest of us) that you were a girl, so I got confused about the Thomas in you nickname.Now I get it though ;)

3-The suggestion about the blend challenges I made were suggestions for the next, this challenge is fiiiine :wink: , good sets and all.

4-This thread has gone waaay off-topic lol :lol:  :lol:  so c'mon talented peeps and post your entries here!!!!!So we can move on from this silly "discussions" lol

I'm not too good at these, I need to practice more, but I tried.  It looks okay I guess.  I wanted a song lyric but I didn't know which one, lol so I just randomly picked one that had the words white houses in it... o.0;

Okay, if Jamie doesn't want to do it, I was 2nd place so I'm doing it.
Here are the rules:

This is a Harmonium blend contest
1) One entry per person
2) Must be bigger than 300x200 and smaller than 600x500
3) Must use at least two of the pictures I've posted below, and ONLY the pictures I've posted below; textures and backgrounds are acceptable.
4) Must say 'Vanessa Carlton,' 'Harmonium,' and some form of the release date (11/09/04) on it
5) Please posts entries in this thread
6) Bronze, Silver, and Gold awards will be given out; all entries are due October 27th (that gives 3 weeks) or to twelve blends and I will present awards whenever I get around to judging.
7) If you think this should have its own thread then I'll move it

Thanks.  This is fun!
This is the first time I've entered a "contest".
I love just fooling with different effects in Paint Shop Pro. (I have PSP 5..I got it as a 16th bday present years ago). Only now am I really learning how to  apply more advanced techniques (for me).  And it's inspiring to see the work of more advanced amateur graphic designers here.

poo, in photoshop you can't choose the pattern, so it just does dots.  so potentially in whatever program you use (paint shop?) you could do stars and stuff?  whatever you wanted?

Title: Blend Challenge - WINNERS !!!
Post by: amberbeads on October 13, 2004, 11:11:35 am
The words are done in a font called "scratch base," but it doesn't have numbers or capital letters, so the numbers are done in one called "Anything You Want."
I think I got them from a link on Tia's site, Pretty Blends or something like that.

I have the same problem in IE and Safari, but I think I found the solution in the CSS...not too sure though as I'm not too good with coding and such.

Code: [Select]

   color :"#FFFFFF";


should be

Code: [Select]

   color : #FFFFFF;


also, [background-color:transparent;] doesn't work with a lot of browsers to my knowledge..it would work better prolly if it was [background-color:#000000;].  That's the bg color of the layout anyway.


Again, I could be wrong...but I'm just trying to help.  :)

If anyone has any suggestions/comments/feedback on the site then it's most appreciated!

because it´s a blend challenge :oops:  :lol: , I think if u want colos open another new challenge like NESSAHolics colo challenge or whatever, lol
Blends give you more options for pictures, more effects, I just find it less boriing, and I know many ppl like colorizations, but I think blending is like the priority,that´s what everyone should be good at first,and I could still use a lil practise on that area.... then move to colos,but blends...that´s were u´ll learn how to use effects and all that, colo is secondary .....then again,I´m probably alone in the matter so, whatevr u guys choose is fine :wink: I do have fun with colos th, I just think the colos might end up looking all the same and that would b a bit boring :oops:

Okay, I scrapped the idea of colorizing coz, basically, I can't be bothered with it all right now. So, a regular challenge with a twist. I would like you to make a blend using screencaps from a video (ATM, OD, PB, WH) or a live performance and incorporate the lyrics of the song into it. A few good places for caps are:
