Ok I had a bright idea.
Since I now have a SA account, we can run our Phridays to coincide with theirs, you guys submit your ideas here and I submit them under my account to SA!
Ofcourse we dont do this every week, if their theme for the week is too lame we'll just do our own.
So without further adeu, Photoshop Phriday is back!
Heres the instructions from the guy running it at SA.

| Theme: "Sensationalized News Stories!" When a major event occurs, the television news media whips up graphics and catchy titles to sell the story and make it more interesting. If it's a really juicy story, it gets custom animations, theme music, and all sorts of tomfoolery. Your job is to parody this by making your own sensationalized news stories and illustrate them being reported, be it with "over-the-shoulder" graphics or something more dramatic such as an intro graphic to a report or story. As this is about mocking TV news, you'll want to give it some context to make it seem like a screen capture of a news show or channel. So think about things like news anchors or reporters, news tickers, etc. Also this can cover a wide range of topics, such as local and national news, sports, weather, etc. Just make sure it's DRAMATIC AND SENSATIONAL!! |
oh yeah and to keep me from resizing them later

| Keep your images reasonably sized. All Phriday images should be less than 600 pixels wide and under 60kb. If you're a little bit over, no big deal. But don't try to pass off a 200kb png file as being optimized. |
oh yeah and

| Avoid clichés, inside jokes, and other people's jokes. If it's not an idea you came up with on your own, then it's probably not worth doing. We liked the Simpsons joke when it was on the Simpsons, so you don't need to do it. This especially means no goddamn Fiestacat or whatever stupid image is popular this week. I will seriously put you on probation if you add Michael Jackson, that Peter Pan fag, or Admiral Ackbar in your images! AND NO 9/11 JOKES. WE'VE DONE THOSE TO DEATH. Let us endeavor to be creative instead of relying on crutches!! |
You can still do that stuff but I prob wont be submitting for fear of probation
Their example
Lets show them what we've got goons!
EDIT: Deadline is 24/6 their time so I guess that gives us an extra day.
