Suggestion Box

[kerravonsen]

Seeing as we only got two entrants this time, I'd kind of like to know what I'm doing wrong. Challenges too hard, too easy, too boring? Wrong format? Should there be no breaks in challenge-doing? I expect some people will think that monthly challenges are too infrequent, but I'm a busy person and it's all I can manage. Yeah, I suppose every three weeks would be possible, but it's easier to remember "once a month" rather than "every three weeks".

Also I'd really like you to suggest challenges that you'd like to do. No, I haven't run out of ideas, but if my ideas are stupid ideas, then I'd rather get better ones.

Hello - I tried to make a sparkly but it was RUBBISH and I was ashamed. I have only just figured out how to brighten the images - I am still at toddler stage. But I doooooo want to play.

Play! Play! It's fun! 8-)

As someone at "toddler stage", are there particular things you'd like to learn? I want to make the challenges a mix of easy and hard, so if there are easy things you want to practice on, suggest away.

Oh lord - everything! I'd like to learn how to put a texture in the background - see my A/V icon? I erased the background but couldn't put a picture behind it. Putting two pictures together? These may be be a bit hard still. It's mainly the brightening/sharpening I'd like to know more about at the mo - my screencaps are grainy and washed out, and I see some icons that are taken from the same source but look like magazine glossies. Just LOVELY.

Thanks! I'm not sure how I could make brightening/sharpening into a challenge, but changing a background sounds like a good idea!
