The current theme is:

I like the idea of something extremely open-ended such as a quote...we'll see how it goes. If it doesn't go so well I'll go with something more traditional next time.

Feel free to suggest changes to the rules and/or themes. For example I somewhat arbitrarily set the size limit, if something else makes more sense please let me know.

Cool idea, i think u should set the rez at something like a common desktop size, that way we can get some kick ass entries, perhaps wallpaper worthy like this:

I was thinking that...but then what size? I'm on 1280x1024, but I know an awful lot of people are on wide screen and such.

I figured that hopefully the winner would be nice enough to expand their entry to a few typical sizes after it's done with.

Else maybe make it specifically a desktop contest?

Are we modifying an existing image, or creating a new one?

Either, so long as you modify it enough to consider it original.

Edited for clarity.

I wouldn't worry about it being wallpaper size for this one. Maybe one of the criteria for another contest could be wallpaper dimensions, but let's not turn this into a wallpaper contest.

One request, we can title our submissions.

So upon voting we'll be given a poll eg:

1) David
2) Venus De Milo
3) Le Penseur (The Thinker)

on the condition that the title does not offer any identifying characteristics as to the maker.

That would be fine.

I will put the entries on the poll in order of submission. In place of a title, I will number it.

I have a t-shirt with that quote on it. I therefore think that I should win by default:

i bet if there was a fire, anybody would still stop and read that shirt if it was hangin right over the fire door.


Topic:

I like the idea of making it a desktop contest, just anything that would be visually pleasing as a wallpaper. As long as it is at least 1280x1024 or something, it can be stretched to fit larger resolutions and not look that bad.

Sadly, I'm not at all good at making wallpapers. I'd offer an entry of something i made awhile ago, but it wouldn't fit your theme at all, seeing as i made it for the lulz.

Also, will there be a judging on what "fits the theme" or what doesn't?

Km, i didn't notice they took the godzillas out of that image! Such a shame,

It does also say, on the white and blue sticker on the door: "Fire door keep shut"!

Though, I've always taken that as instruction not to tell anyone it's a fire door...

I hope that people will judge based on both artistic merit and at least loose adherence to the theme. You're not going to be disqualified or something though.

They say keep shut cause of all the bells and whistles that go off when it goes open.
