Contests

I haven't made a journal post in ages, but I figured it was time to give a little update to prove that A) I'm still alive and B) I still check this deviantart account sometimes. I love seeing all the art people are still making with my stock despite the fact that it's been quite a while since I posted anything new, so know that your work is still being appreciated.

Anyway, I spend most of my time making videos on YouTube, blogging or traveling now days, so you can still find me in lots of other places on the Internet. I'm sure someday I'll post new stuff here, because I can never truly separate myself from my love of doing stock photography.

I hope everyone is doing well, especially my old DeviantArt friends. <3

MY RULES:

1. Please let me know when you've used my stock and send me a link so I can see it and put it in my favorites gallery. *I prefer notes, but any way you contact me is fine.
2. Credit. Please put my username/icon/a link to my account in your deviation description.
3. Do not just change the brightness/contrast or add a filter to my stock photos. Please make an effort to transform my stock into a work of your own. Remember, I allow you to use my stock, but the photos are still mine. Editing my photos makes the work a "Photomanipulation"; listing it under "Photography" is art theft.
4. You may use my stock in prints, just let me know when you do. It's common to offer the stock artist a free copy of the print if you do have them available for purchase, but I do not require this.
5. Please email me at ohheykristina@gmail.com about offsite use. Commercial use is not permitted without permission/possible compensation, depending on what you're using it for.



MY PHOTOGRAPHERS:
JustinPS
A wonderful photographer with a whole gallery of jaw-dropping pieces from animals to scenery to a bit of model work.
PersephoneStock
She is a lovely artist and photographer and has a nice stock gallery of her own if you fancy taking a look. I would appreciate it.

Contests

Just wanted to preface this by saying that it took Luke and I a really long time to come to a final decision on this. We received so many great entries, and honestly wished we were putting out multiple albums so we could pick more than one!

When we closed the competition last night, we calculated the number of art pieces to be submitted somewhere around 350 total. You guys are awesome! We can't believe how much hard work went into this.

That being said, one had to be picked. We hope you like the ones we've chosen, and on top of that, we hope you like the album that comes out on March 28th!!

Thanks again for getting involved, sharing your talents, and letting us take part in such a fun, interactive contest!

Pre-orders for Bmin/E start on Friday; if you want to see the winning art in action, you can purchase it here: dftba.com/shop/categories/Musi…

Also, watch for vlogs from both Luke and I with more information about the release and the merch we'll have for sale.


Without further adieu... THE WINNERS!

Contests

The Objective:

CONTEST CLOSED.
*Luke and I are currently still tallying up our favorite entries and making final decisions on which pieces to pick. We'll be posting our final decisions by tomorrow afternoon at the latest. Thanks for your interest and awesome entries, everyone! This contest has been a pleasure.


As many of you know, I am in a band called "ALL CAPS" with my boyfriend Luke Conard.

You can check out our music here: www.myspace.com/allcapsband

We are in the process of finishing up our second album, and since it has been a composite of many of both of our combined interests (including writing and playing music, many of the nerdy topics we sing about, and making videos for our songs to post on YouTube). It struck me that I was leaving out one very important hobby of mine, which resides here on DeviantArt. And then I thought - who better to design our next album cover than one of you guys?

So here we are. Holding a contest. And there is a cash prize. Exciting? I thought so.

There are a few ways to win this contest. One is the obvious - coming up with a design that we choose for the cover (or back cover) of the album. (WE ENCOURAGE SETS - both back and front of the album - because not only would you win ALL the money/prizes, but we'd have a matching CD. xD) The other is to come up with a CD face design for the album itself, in the standard circular shape.

The name of the album is "Bmin/E", so that will need to go on the front of the album somewhere, as well as our band name, "ALL CAPS".

*Bmin/E is an actual guitar chord, but if you read it phonetically, it sounds like "be mine". Get it? xD As this is a music joke, feel free to put in a treble or bass clef before the album name so the general public gets the joke too. Or maybe incorporate a music staff or something. Also, to get you started, we're a band that does pretty dancy music and sings about nerdy things like robots, writing novels, girls hating that their boyfriend plays World of Warcraft, and how much we love Jim and Pam.


IMPORTANT UPDATE:

1. We've already received a couple of submissions that include other people's stock. Your submission has to be completely your own creation aside from the use of the given stock for the contest (unless you use stock that IS available for commercial use). If you include other people's stock and it's only for use on DA/non-commercial use, we can't have it on our album, so you will be disqualified.

2. NOW ADDED -- TSHIRT CONTEST!
The rules for this are simple. Submit your t-shirt designs in the same way we've been asking for album art. Send a note to intergalacticstock (me) with the subject "Contest Submission".
1. Your design should be 1 color, 2 at most, but 1 is cheaper to print.
2. Submit as a vector if you know how.
3. Design does NOT need to have a picture of us on it, but should include our band's name, "ALL CAPS". However, don't feel limited to only using our band name. Be inventive! Draw inspiration from one of our songs, create a sweet graphic, anything you'd like! *There have been a lot of entries that are JUST our band name - we're really looking for something that includes an awesome picture as the focal point, with our band name included (but maybe not as the main image).
4. No super fine lines or excessive detail, as these will be made via screenprinter.



Here are the dimensions for standard album art (in pixels):
Cover: 1600 x 1600
Back Cover: 1772 x 1385 (includes side panels)
CD face: 1600 x 1600 (keeping in mind that the corners get rounded)

Oh, and you'll need to use one of these pictures in your design.





The Rules:
1. The album cover needs to have one of the five stock images I have listed above used in it in some way. If you choose to design a back cover as well, that one doesn't necessarily need to have our stock image in it.
2. Image must be correctly sized, as per standard album measurements (see above).
3. Contest is open to any medium, though I have listed a few examples of deviations below that people have made with my stock in the past that we liked, if you need inspiration.
4. You may enter as many times as you'd like.
5. You must agree to let us use your artwork in the distribution and sale of our next album if you submit it to the contest.
6. You must include our band name "ALL CAPS" and the title of the album "Bmin/E" in your design if it is for the cover. Designs for the back must include a blank space for a track list and our label's logo.

TO SUBMIT YOUR DEVIATION, SEND A NOTE TO intergalacticstock with "CONTEST SUBMISSION" as the subject and a link to your deviation in the body of the message. Submissions must be posted on Deviantart.

Contest begins: January 15th
Contest ends: February 15th


Judges: Myself and Luke.

Other art we like to give you inspiration, though we will accept any medium:
