Basically here it is. I am looking to add about another 1 or 2 people to the new Design Squad so we'll have about 5-6. I will look for clean and crisp work that follows the requirments. Some basic requirments that I ask, if you do become a member, are that you are online anywhere from 3-5 days a week, you have some kinda of Photoshop program, and maybe having expeirence in graphic design would help as well. You may submit as many entries as you want and the team and I will judge which ones we find to be the best.
Contest Start Now!!!
What I am looking for: Edit this picture in anyway possible whether funny or artistic or whatever.....My team and I will be looking for technique and quality work. You may incorprate other images as well but try and ahve the main image the main part of whatever you decied to create. I want to see what your minds can come up with.

Do it yourself you lazy bum.... haha. Maybe this contest and the other contest decides say, 4 people (1 for each console of the other contest) and 1 the winner from this one, then you hold a final after that?
BTW this is nothing like what Vision.pro had in mind, this is just totally random, haha.

This is my Picture.
It's not fantastic, and I spent roughly an hour on it. It's only 125kb so the actual picture took at hit visually but it still looks close to its original... display? anyhoo. I hope you like it. This is actually my first attempt at something like this. I couldn't figure out how to make a shadow so the crappy one on the thumb will have to do.
That's amazing for the first attempt, I like how you made it b&w and made the eyes red
and green something below it, nice!

Use uh... Layer effects, gar now i cant remember what its called.
Anyway, but theres something called drop shadow, but if you talking about having the hand shadow onto the mirror thats something different. Try making a copy of the hand, flipping it horizontally, changing its opacity, and then making it a gradient overlay (?), then using free transform to place it where it needs to be on the photo... thats how i would do it anyway.
And im geussing you didnt make that outside image, no worries if you found it on the web, i do that alot too, but there is alot more effects you can do with the greyscale...
And you doing grayscale definatley gave me an idea for another manip.
Good work though so far bro.

I was a bit bored so i made this pretty quick. I did alot of cracks and texture over the bird-like creature, but alot of it got washed away when i downsized it. Anyway i'm not trying to jump in the contest for a spot on the design squad, i just felt like doing something with this picture.

That's a shame Vision cause honestly its the only one I like so gar, except that text, I don't like the text, are the cracks brushed or do you use another image/draw them yourself.
Okay, I made a new one:

The cracks are old from a brush set i made awhile back and i hate the font's used too, but i'm not too worried about it right now as i didn't even take my time on this.
Umm... mines different to eceryone elses :P :

Coolio's is kind of funny. While he's at it he should change the background i think. Maybe add a jet pack for fun or something like that. Otherwise, all u did was essentially copy/paste a head on.

Edit:
So I updated the pic. Fixed the greens eyes and the bad text. I think it looks raw now.
I was going to make a woodbackground, but part of how i made the paper is an adjustment layer that affects everything beneath it. Its infront of the paper, and behind everything else. But i have to put the wood behind the paper also, so it gets messed up because of the adjustment layer.
Anybody know of a way to be able to get my wood bg to show up? Thanks
