[challenge entry] I'll just chuck this into the threadrush before it gets done a gazillion times


EDIT humm that gnarly giffy compression really isn't worth it for the tiny bit of transparency at the top.

EDIT EDIT compliance check courtesy of HT :o)

# Can a mod change the challenge description please
it's going to drive me mad the bit saying to only use the stock images and nothing else
/not enough sleep and too much stress making the tiniest things irritating blog

# Ah. Combining ONLY the images from the page. With you now.
Wait one...

# yeah it's just the capitals
doing my head in. why type it when a) no one will and b) it would make the challenge look like a week of repetitive seamhorse hell

# but which stock photo is the font across the top from?
(sarcastic reply for emphasis of how stupid typing ONLY is in the challenge description)

I cropped a small section of the red from the left-hand spatula in this pic, cloned it extensively, and then cropped the letters from that palette.

(may in fact have just used a generic font)

# I prefer it now that it's got the other source incorporated.

# But...
wasn't your complaint here precisely that people ought only to use the stock images?

# no, that the description to "ONLY" use them is stupid
I'd also say that's a comment or a request, not a complaint ;)

# i don't think it's a piss-poor challenge
but i don't see the benefit in trying to get people to stick to the brief. *no-one* ever sticks to the brief and the best pictures are often those that are only distantly related to one of the words from it anyway. besides, i thought the challenge was to help inspiration, not an actual, you know, challenge with rules and shit.
