Okay, here is my usual plea for players.

I only have two players so far, so those of you that have played Art Tag invite some friends along! It doesn't take too much time since you are only changing the image slightly vs. trying to finish the enitre image. I promise it's painless so don't be shy, sign up to play....PLEASE....PRETTY PLEASE.

Well thanks anyway. You should try a round some time as it's a fun learning experience, and a great way to ease into photo manipulation. You also might be interested in trying Art Tag Pieces. I seem to have a lot more participation in those versions.

To learn more about the Art Tag Pieces variation go here

Next month's Art Tag will probably be in this format.

Newbie wants to play

Well, I'm a newbie to this board who saw Douglas Nelson's announcement on the Adobe Photoshop Lounge forum. I'd been thinking for some time that serial art could be great fun so....

I wanna play, too!

Cheers!

Group 1

Thanks to all the Art Tag players!!! You did another outstanding job!

This time I lucked out getting several extra players right at the last second so I ended up running two groups. Thanks to everyone that helped in persuading people to play. Hopefully you didn’t twist their drawing arms

Group 2 is still running, so if you signed up to play and haven’t heard anything yet, don’t worry as you are in that group and should be notified shortly.

Here are the results from Group 1…..

I was #4, I added most of the fine print at the bottom (but it was spelled correctly when I submitted it, honest).

I think I was #2. I added the hand/spray can and the plaid spray on the socks. I couldn't resist! It was the only idea stuck in my mind!!!

Doug the fine print was hysterical!

T Paul, thanks so much for inviting us to do this!

And the final image...

I found it interesting that both groups put a shoe or shoes on the socks and both went the advertising route.

Great job by all the players!!!

P.S.

The next round will be 11 July.

I was in the first group, if Doug was 4th, I must have been third. When I got the image I was kinda stumped as to what to do as far as adding photo elements so I just added some text and logos.. this was a fun round!!

Sorry David.

That means you followed me and my plaid. Like I said, it was the only idea stuck in my mind. I had to go with it. Glad you were able to make it work.

Group 2, yours turned out great too! Who all participated in that one?

Hi Jennifer,

I'm new to RetouchPro/Art Tag and was delighted to participate in round 2 of Sock Hop. My contribution was 4th. I modified the edge of the socks/shoe selection a bit to make a strong white fringe a bit less noticeable, added the transparent frame, and little foot print shapes on the shoe and top of the socks. I should have built a layer style (as I had done for the embossed foot print on the boot) with a fabric texture for the socks rather than just using using a stroked and filled shape with a blend mode but...oh well, live and learn!

BTW the results of group one were hysterical... well done!

This was so much fun that I've signed up for the next round.

Cheers,
Welles

idea blank...

Well, I got the Group 2 one with just the face on the yellow sock (2nd??), anyhow, I spent WAYYYY to long with ideas, just as one would come to mind, it didn't seem to fit right...

Anyhow...got the boot on and felt like I needed to keep going with the rest of the socks.

Oh well, it was fun, but challening, my idea well picked a bad time to peter out!

This is the first time I have been involved in Art-Tag.

I was the first on group 2, made the sock-puppet smiley face. It was a real trip being first, with the idea that whatever I did might head us down a paticular path, not wanting to do too much or too little. I had envisioned a possible puppet theatre or a conversation between socks or ... ? That is what makes this so interesting and challenging, because I know now that all of us have that same pressure no matter where we are in the line up.

Now I know not to worry about it so much, no matter what I do it can go in any direction. I had a blast and have signed up for the next run.

My fav was group one - it's a riot!

Roger
