[challenge] - week five - colours

[galanthus.livejournal.com]

This weeks theme will be colours. Not just any colour though - your challenge will be to create something featuring your house colours. You may use one or both (so for Gryffindor in example, you may use red as your main colour but you may also use gold, or red and gold). Use common sense when it comes to this - a tiny blue brush in the upper right corner won't do as a Ravenclaw entry, but you don't have to make everything blue, either. As long as the colour you're focussing on stands out in some way.

For this challenge, you do not have to use images from the HP movies. You may, but you don't have to. You may also use stock images, textures, etc, to emphasize colouring, should you wish to.

Challenge ends on friday February 3rd. I live in Europe, so please submit entries before 5 pm GMT. You may submit icons, headers and friends only banners, but only one each. Icons must be 100 x 100 px in size, and 40 kB or less. FO banners must be 400 x 350 px or smaller, headers must not be bigger than 800 x 350.

Please post your image and the url to your entry or entries as a comment to this post, and don't forget to include your name and house or you won't receive points for entering! Comments will be screened.

Will offensive language be allowed? I don't suppose that would be a problem. Considering you want to use the word "ass," I don't think that is too terribly bad.

If anyone takes offense, this would be the place to let me know!

This may sound like a dumb question to you, but I'm not a native speaker, so what exactly is a stock image? :(

Not a dumb question at all! A stock photo is something like a picture that comes on your computer. It is, basically, just a photo, that is artistic in nature.

Gahh. I didn't explain that very well. If you do a yahoo search of "stock photos" or check out corbis.com, they might give you a better idea of what stock photos are.

Hope that helps.

Just thought this might help...

This too, may seem like a silly question, but I just want to ask-

GMT is based in London, right?

For those of you that are running OS 10.4 (Mac), you can set up another clock on your dashboard to track London time.

For Windows, or previous or other OSes, check this page out! (That way, we can all be on time! *L*)
