A Kaleidoscope Kraze … Requirements/Rules/Guidelines … as of 15 JUN 2011
I KALEIDO IMAGES:
1. Must Be A Traditional Kaleidoscope Image:
they must be the only object in the image:
…layering is accepted as long as the resulting image is a kaleido as defined in these rules
…no text in image
…single color backgrounds for circle/mandala kaleidoscopes are acceptable
they must have three or more limbs/arms
…if you draw a line from the tip of the limb to the center of the kaleidoscope
… …then the left side of the limb must be a mirror image of the right side of the limb
…see Yellow Star as a simple example.
… …if your image has an even number of limbs/arms
… … …then take a look in the four corners of your kaleido image
… … …if the design elements are not the same in all all four corners then the image is unbalanced
… … …they need to be the same …this can be effected by centering one of the limbs/arms to one of the image’s sides
… …if you image has an odd number of limbs/arms
… … …then one of the kaleido arms must be centered either at the top or the bottom edge of the image
mirror images (two-limbed) or tessellations or those made into repeating patterns will be rejected
pinwheels will also be rejected
2. Must Be A Perfect Square:
think of the image as a canvas that you paint your kaleidoscope on
