i remember when i was here like 2 years ago we did community projects....the ps guys all were givin a bunch of stocks and had to make something from it. and we did it in the photography board too, with different themes and everyone participating.
might be good to get the activity back on here, and not just on the chillout board.

I'd go for that ... the entire reason I joined this board was for practice and development. I'm anxiously awaiting the next SOTW (I ran out of time on the halloween one) but so far thats all I've seen.
I'm sure I'm not the only new... or otherwise... member that would be thrilled for something like this to come up.

Sadly, there isn't much of a community left to do a project with. :-\

I can bring them back if you like, but if you look at the last few threads there was less and less input for them.
I believe that it was mainly due to the projects actually attempting to teach people things rather than saying "make a signature" which is what people prefer. I don't think they like being given something to do which they've not tried before.

I don't think they like being given something to do which they've not tried before. Yes ... I certainly understand where that comes from ... some people HATE the idea that they can't / don't know how to do whatever it is that they can't / don't know how to do. I might be the single exception to this rule on this particular board in saying that I am just starting out in this journey to become a respected, admired, COMMERCIAL artist in that I would like to one day actually have people PAY me for my talent and skills. While I am going to school for the skills part, I do think that the more practice I get, the better off in the long run I'll be. Whatever happens, happens ... I get that part lol. Would begging shamlessley help any???

You don't have to beg hun, I'll try and cook something up before the three courseworks I have to do kill me What are your strengths at the moment? I figure we'll start with something easy first off. And if anyone has any ideas for a coding community practice then suggest away. I can wack them up in a sticky every 2 months but as a useless graphic person I have no clue what will be interesting and challenging for you guys.

Strengths ... eh. Right now I just need inspiration. I'm learning the tools, but its getting the idea that I need the most help with right now.
IDK ... To start with I liked the idea of picking say ... three related/unrelated images and saying the finished product has to have all three in it somehow. Maybe not so much a theme, since thats being done with the SOTW.
Or, say you have to use a certain tool in PS, and make it obvious? Or ... whomever makes the best ... sphere, or gloss / glass effect ... or something along those lines.
Hope that helps?
