ATTF: Graphics Challenge!  
becomrpomisedgraphicsweekend.jpg
Welcome to be-compromised's first eve graphics friday! (Well, at least I think it's be-compromised's first ever graphics friday.) I wrote graphics weekend in the banner because we can party all weekend. Everyone is invited to join - even if you have no experience with graphics!

This Friday, I present you with a challenge: create a graphic with Clint and Natasha! But wait - there's a catch. I will be providing the cut-out of Clint and Natasha, because I think you guys will find it better and easier if they are already cut out for you. Besides that, go wild - put flower crowns over their heads, use funky fonts, experiment with all sorts of textures - do whatever! Everything else is below the cut.

CUTOUT:
Clint
Natasha

WEBSITES (if you don't have photoshop):
PicMonkey
Pixlr
iPiccy (Click make a design)
Fotor
If you're wondering what size to make it, I suggest 400 (Width) x 500 (Height).

EXAMPLE:

Here's what I created with the cutouts!

Upload your finished product in the comments section! Maybe we can vote on which one we think is the best. I'll happily make a graphic/gifset/picspam for the winner (after I finish something for [livejournal.com profile] findthesea).

Have fun, everyone! If you have any questions, pm me/leave a comment!

Well, I have zero artistic ability, but I'm gonna give it a shot. On the down side, I just got to work. On the plus side, I have 8 hours to think of ideas. Thanks for the cool idea! ;-)

Go ahead! I'm sure you'll come up with something amazing - and I'll tell you a secret: I really can't draw xD

Alas, I have no talent ... I spent HOURS once trying to clip a clean image of Clint and Natasha, and ended up with something that looked like I'd taken an eraser to the edges. So this? Tempting! But I can't remember a thing about what I did back in 2013, when I was off sick and had all day to play. So I'll have to bow out. But what a cool idea!!

Aww ):: I already have a clean image though xD
[identity profile] alphaflyer.livejournal.com on April 16th, 2016 08:10 am (UTC)
I know -- which is what makes it so tempting!!! But I can't remember how to merge those into other images... :-(

Likewise. No graphics talent At. All. But I am really looking forward to any submissions!
[identity profile] perpetuations.livejournal.com on April 16th, 2016 01:45 am (UTC)
Hehehe give it a try anyways!

I've never done any kind of graphics before but I couldn't sleep cuz I was feeling a little low so I figured I would give it a shot :) I think I ended up with more hokey photoshop than any real creativity but...it was fun!...and now I realize that my verb-tenses are mixed up but oh well.

OH MY GOD I LOVE THIS! I love the background and the Budapest quote! *Squeals in delight*
[identity profile] foolondahill17.livejournal.com on April 16th, 2016 04:58 am (UTC)
daw thanks ^-^ And thank you for coming up with such a fun challenge!
[identity profile] perpetuations.livejournal.com on April 16th, 2016 05:00 am (UTC)
Thank you for trying it out! And you should probably go sleep before you pass out, as I'm sure it's late (wherever you are) <3
[identity profile] foolondahill17.livejournal.com on April 16th, 2016 05:02 am (UTC)
Haha you're probably right XD...I always tell myself I'm going to bed early and then end up staying up so late!

This is great!!! (Also, love the Canadian flag behind Clint's shoulder ... possibilities...)

"Seriously. They expect us to go in there, in full daylight, and take out Boris Onyshchovich, when the Canadian Prime Minister is sitting in the lobby having tea with the Hungarian president? They're, like, the baby seals of international diplomacy."

"I know Clint, I know. I'm about to have words with Coul... Wait. See that column of AVs coming?"

"Yup. I see 'em. Gun turrets turning already, too. Showtime at the OK corral."

"Right. Let's try and keep the Canadians out of it, though. We may need peacekeepers when we're done here."
[identity profile] foolondahill17.livejournal.com on April 16th, 2016 01:36 pm (UTC)
Haha yes!! And thank you :)
[identity profile] spyforaday.livejournal.com on April 16th, 2016 02:20 pm (UTC)
Oh, that's great! And you got a background story to match. ;-) Win win! Nicely done.
[identity profile] kiss-me-cassie.livejournal.com on April 16th, 2016 09:11 pm (UTC)
Hokey? Oh no! I LIKE IT!
