Sorry for the delay in starting this challenge but there were
several pressing matters that demanded my attention. Without
further ado here is..... Challenge 7: Movie Poster
Don't let the title scare you, this should be a lot of fun and
really stretch the creativity.
Required Subject: As the Advertising Director of a studio you are
charged with creating an ad campaign to promote your latest film
(either real or fictional). The primary tool for this promotion
will be a movie poster, which will be plastered all over town by
your loyal cadre of street urchins and out-of-work bicycle
messengers.
Challenge Period: Sunday, February 2nd, 2003 until 8 PM PST on
Monday, February 16th, 2003. All photos must be taken and movie
posters submitted during this time period.
Rules: There will be no limitation to creativity or the use of
photo editing software, however all primary images must be taken
with an Olympus digital or dSLR camera during the challenge period.
You are being placed on your honor, please don't abuse the trust.
How To Enter: Rename your poster to the title of your movie. Email
a total of one challenge poster and/or up to two exhibition posters
to
[email protected] by 8 PM PST on February 16th, 2003.
Please, ONE poster per email. You MUST put "challenge" or
"exhibition" in the subject line when submitting photos to indicate
which gallery your image should be posted. Please be kind, make
sure the poster you submit is the FINAL version and if possible
email well in advance of the deadline. Entries should provide:
1) Title of Movie
2) Olympus Digicam model
3) Name of photographer (dpreview nickname is fine)
4) Description, A short description of your movie. (optional)
Please make sure you provide the information listed above in a
clear manner. Remember, it is not always possible to determine your
name or nickname from your email address so make sure you provide
either your real name or your nickname.
About Sizing: All entries should be exactly 600x800. Portrait
orientation only.
As per previous challenges the challenge gallery will remain hidden
until the voting period begins. During the voting period
photographers names/nics will be hidden.

Also keep in mind that many of us will want to know how you did
this so keep track of the settings and process as you create your
masterpiece. I'm not asking that you submit this information with
the entries so that we are clearly judging the final product and
not the methodology. As they say, there is more than one way to
skin a cat but let's not get hung up on that.
This will be the last challenge exceeding El-See's great 12 day
challenge suggestion. The period is longer to accommodate my work
schedule and still get the challenge started, I hope you'll
understand.
