The GFY Graphic Designer Showdown - Page 6 - GoFuckYourself.com

Jakke PNG · 05-16-2002, 12:22 PM

#250, and counting.

Amputate Your Head · 05-16-2002, 12:23 PM

as far as the officials go..... we have 3 so far that I know of. (no, I'm not one of them) They'll be named and listed on the official page when it goes online. (tomorrow from what I understand)
Lens, you're on that list unless you decline....

the GFY'ers will vote the tours into the top 3 finals.... the Judges will then decide the winner from there.

0zzy · 05-16-2002, 12:27 PM

Hey Amp,
At this speed, for sure you will get the DVD of the week. You should had it to list of the price.

The Machine · 05-16-2002, 12:29 PM

The DVD player - oh my god, we forgot the most important thing here

Really, Ozzy, that's not the idea here...lol

Cheers,

Brian911 · 05-16-2002, 12:35 PM

this contest is a good idea for sure, too bad I didnt design a paysite on my own for over 3 years

however the "most beautiful" tours often dont convert best.. perhaps you should keep that in mind when voting.

yep.... already covered that... but that's something that just has to be taken into account when the voting starts since they aren't actually going to be put to a conversion test.

Amputate Your Head · 05-16-2002, 01:03 PM

something else to consider:

while the one domain for everyone idea obviously makes sense and would be better for voting comparisons, choosing your own domain and what you wanna create for it would definately draw a much wider variety of different tours.....

Amputate Your Head · 05-16-2002, 01:05 PM

and I like the "auction them off after party for a charity" thing too.... don't know how popular that idea is, but I'm all for that.

The Machine · 05-16-2002, 01:10 PM

True, but you want to compare design skills, not apples and oranges, as will be the case if everybody does whatever they want with whatever domain, niche, content, etc. Every competition has to have some standards - be it the Olympics, an Architectural design bid, or a paysite design competition. In motor racing they have standards when it comes to engines, suspension and car weight - and thats when the really good driver shines - when the playing field is level.

Same applies here

Cheers,
Machine

yep, and that's why I gave thumbsup to the five domains idea..
let's have something such as:
amateursexplosion.com
pornstarsexplosion.com (it was mine earlier but didn't do anything with it

)
lesbian.. BJ.. etc, a few categories/niches so everyone can find something for themselves..

I dont think we're comparing design skills here. It's just a fun competition to see who can make a kickass tour, not the Judgement Day for paysite designers. There should be NO restrictions, and that's how we'll get truely fun and creative results. Else it will just turn out to be another paysite designing job for the participants, with a prize attached instead of a fee.

Exactly.

This is looking more like a job interview than a simple fun contest to show off.

I just wanna see a bunch of kickass designs...I don't care what domain they're for, or whether they're built for sites with 100k videos or 500k videos or anything like that.

Kick-Ass-Graphics

That's what I wanna see.

Brian911 · 05-16-2002, 01:38 PM

ok, I changed my mind:

(and no, there is no tour... tours are overrated anyway)

The Machine · 05-16-2002, 01:41 PM

If you look at it this way, then you're right. I just thought with the voting and the prizes and all... it looked like a competition, and I tried to make a couple points about how to avoid problems and confusion (having standards can really help in these cases).

But fun is the most important thing anyway, and the contestants should ultimately decide on how it's gonna be most fun to play.

Cheers,
Machine

very good point.... and that's what I wanted it to be.... more along the lines of a killer car show instead of a job interview.

The only restrictions that I think need to be maintained is that we're all doing the same thing..... know what I mean? We gotta keep this somewhat grounded in reality.... one guy wants to use Flash.... and then if that's gonna be okay, then another guy wants to use fully qualified Shockwave..... then someone else wants to use Quicktime..... etc.... and I know on the surface, that sounds cool.... what an amazing variety of killer stuff we would see! But if this is gonna be done on paysite tours, how many paysite tours actually use that stuff in reality? As in reality, just because it CAN be done, doesn't always mean that it should.
Look at the Aztec.... that car/minivan/suv/station wagon thing never should have been created.

I don't know..... tough call on this one....

on the other hand, I agree.... it would be very cool to just go all out and se what develops from it... ;-)

as long as there's no fucked up shit like auto-bookmarking and shit....

at least, that's my

on it..... the officials are the ones that should make that call since they're the final Judges, and I'm not one of them. So I'm anxiously awaiting the final rules on all of this too...

Amputate Your Head · 05-16-2002, 01:50 PM

the more I think about it, I actually like that idea better.... just freakin' go all out and do up the wildest shit you can think up...

but we gotta figure out what the final voting categories are gonna be on....

like, style.... color matching.... etc.... at least some kinda basic guidelines for the judges to go by...

does that make any sense?

So far this makes the most sense. I think the idea of coming up with whatever I want it to be. But I am still looking forward to an official set of rules so we can all of this straight.

The only other bad thing is the dates fall over Cybernet... but I guess I can deal.

It's very simple. Crank out your best tour and show it off.

Stop worrying about prizes and scoring systems and all that other shit.

This is a very simple "I'm a kickass designer, here's my shit" contest that's being turned into an overly complicated beauracratic nightmare because people aren't in it for fun, they're in it for prizes.

Said very well..... Now your fuckers get to work..... Am anxious to see you people's work ....

I take your point. This whole thing seems to be exploding into a huge project, I'm just thinking of ways to reduce your workload.

It'll be interesting to compare the vote to what actually sells in the auction, if you go through with that idea.
