Face Off Cycle 8 - SIGN UP NOW *CLOSED*

Let's try this again! I've opened a couple competitions lately and I feel that the subject matter (being story-based or fantasy-based) has scared some people off! So, why not bring back another exciting cycle of Face Off!

The current cycle is on its final assignment, so this should be a fun transition for those who are still participating (and want to keep going) and any newbies who missed sign ups for cycle 7. Yes, if you are currently in the 7th cycle, you may sign up for this cycle!

Face Off is a great competition that takes the simplicity of a headshot and pushes your creativity to expand upon the style and make it your own. You will be tasked with making creative and fun fashion headshots each round, with minimal requirements.

I haven't really ever put a theme to Face Off before, but I thought that I would try that this cycle. So, the theme for this cycle is saturation. That means that your assignments, no matter the topic, will require some really excellent bursts of color. You'll want to play with brights, fun lighting, and eccentric makeup, hair, and accessories. I'm excited to see what kinds of images you all come up with!

Male & Female models are allowed, but most of my assignments are geared towards female models, so you may have to make some adjustments as we proceed.


No negativity, this includes belittling yourself

ASSIGNMENT 1: EXOTIC BIRDS
-------------------------------------------

Your first assignment is going to hopefully spur some imaginative creations! It's a simple task of turning your model into an exotic bird - full of bold colors, feathers, and high fashion appeal!

Don't forget that BURST of color - make sure your photo is fully saturated with intense color!

The example image is meant to serve as inspiration and will generally include all necessary requirements, but do not copy it!

REQUIREMENTS
-------------------------------------------
ONE Photo
Chest Up Shot
Bold and Bright Colors
Exotic Bird Somehow Represented

EXAMPLE
-------------------------------------------

DEADLINE: MARCH 21ST


This competition runs with NO scoring rubric. It goes based off of a mathematical ranking system between the judges. So you will not see a scoring rubric, but rather comments from the judges and your final rank will be listed in a secret surprise slideshow!

How Do Eliminations Work?
Good question! There is a bottom 3 every round (beginning with round 2) and ANY of the three contestants can be eliminated. They are listed in no particular order and the eliminated model is announced at the end of the slideshow - so watch to the end!

Judges Will Talk to Your Models, NOT YOU!
Yep, when we give comments, we give them as if your model were a living person standing right in front of us! All comments made will be directed at your model. You, as his/her creator, will be considered your model's "team". So if we discuss lighting or makeup, you will see things like "set designer" and "makeup artist"!
