I am still unclear on one thing in the EE Rules. Maybe someone can help? If I wanted to draw a shape & fill with color (say for example a text bubble) and add to my photo, is that allowed in Expert? They say no graphics or clip art can be added, but I'm talking about using the pen tool in Photoshop to draw the shape & fill with a color on a separate layer. It would be a secondary part of the image... which would mainly consist of my original photo.
I just got DQed from the Zippers Challenge due to a rule change so I want to make sure this doesn't happen again.
Thanks in advance for anyone's help! |

| Should be fine. You just can't paste in graphics or clip art from other sources. |

To me, the challenge is propaganda poster so it requires quite a bit to be considered a poster. My entry is very text-heavy but everything graphics-related I added was used through the layer mode options, except the 'border' which was a black fill and I copied and pasted the photo onto it to allow the text to be readable and not cover the photo. I used a gradient over the background 'border' but the rule I was reading about applying editing tools to all or part of the photo seems to OK that.
I wouldn't be terribly surprised if mine gets DQ'd if the council has a different interpretation, but the way I interpret the word 'poster' is to imply the purpose is primarily to convey a message taking advantage of the text being allowed. |
