How to write a professional Creative/Communication

`Nico1:iconNico1: reports, September 1

YUM-YUM CONTEST!! YUMMY FOOD! ~~win a 3 month sub!

=dragonghostangel:icondragonghostangel: reports, August 31
Draw one of my OCs. A list of my OCs can be found here: [link]

That OC must be eating something. What should it be eating? That's the main purpose of this contest- you design a type of food for that OC. In your description, you must write why it is eating that food eg. benefits, vitamins, gives any special powers?? It's up to you. It can be a fruit, a type of plant, or even a type of animal (if that OC you choose is a carnivore). Now, I haven't stated in the information of my OCs which one is carnivore or herbivore. I really don't mind. You can make Grapeice a carnivore for all I care. Just make that food creative and special.

Prizes:
1st place 3 month Sub and coloured pic of 2 characters by me, 3 month journal feature
2nd place 1 month Sub and coloured pic of 1 character by me, 2 month journal feature
3rd place coloured pic of 1 character by me, 1 month journal feature

The Pokémon Fake Off

=Plateman:iconPlateman: reports, February 24
The Fake Off is now at a point where it should be reorganised into a better competition, a professional one that boasts creativity and authenticity and also welcome in divine lords that preside in the martial art of using the pencil.

Ah so what is the Fake Off you may ask? Well it is a fan-Pokémon creating contest where an unlimited amount of designers can participate in a face off against each other in designing the best that suit the design brief that is handed out each round, which should be every two or three weeks.

This new reboot of the Fake Off will now be given a new name, a new look - a new identity all together in a hope that it can be grasped in a realm of seriousness and have respectful values that are presented by Gamefreak's elite designers that have created such lovely (and amusing) designs. The new take will bring the start with an actual registration form, signing up all the entrants so I may have an easier way of handling entries together and a new submission policy. Further information regarding the registration and submission tibits are to be found in my related journal entry, however this article looks at the aims of the new Pokémon Fake Off and that it will go throughout the entire year showing incredible designs and have an audience that will spectate and have favourite contestants in each round.

The following submissions to the previous round are examples what can definetly catch an eye for voting, but that is not all what voting is. A pretty picture must have powerful a powerful background and a reason why it was inspired in that fashion.



I finish this article with a final note of encouragement for the future of this competition and hope that many do take this in a positive, not negative light on how I wish to do things.
