The Digital Interface Group - Guidelines

The Digital Interface Group is intended first and foremost as a learning centre. The idea is that those who have a will to do so will post images here with a reasonable description to help others in their development. In other words, don’t post an image unless you want to give away how you created it.

These are the guidelines the Digital Interface Group.

1. Only post images here that have been significantly modified (or created!) in a software product such as Paint Shop Pro, Photoshop, ArcSoft etc…... * Just changing the contrast, cropping and so on, without changing the nature or subject of the image is not enough. You must have created something new. An example of this would be composites of different images or collages, or complex filters.

2. It is expected that you include with your image a brief description of the software and the technique used to create the image. That helps others understand the effort you have put in and also will breed even more creativity. *This is the number one reason why things get rejected

3. The cat who chases a thousand mice catches none. In other words, post one or two images a day at maximum or the flood of pictures will be unmanageable.

4. If it is deemed offensive, then it may be removed without notice. I will always attempt to negotiate but must respect Red Bubble rules and people’s sensibilities.

5. Tutorials, explanations, thoughts and ideas are very, very welcome. Please feel free to contribute. Just create some ‘writing’ and add it to this group.

6. Have fun. If you enjoy your work and you have passion for it, then others will too.

    Hi! I’m sorry my ‘Ode to Ingres’ was not accepted. Perhaps I did not explain it very well? It was entirely created with Adobe Photoshop CS2, a Wacom graphics pad and my Mac lap top. There was no illustration, scanning or copying, perhaps had the original next to mine as I was painting it graphically. There were at least 20 painted layers created before I merged it all together. I attempted to use the image of Ingres’s lounging lady as a way to portray ‘beauty for the breastless’.

    Have you removed this art? I tried to check it out but couldn’t find it.
