travel_hymn Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 Well I'm shit at being all detailed in writing, there's not much I can say about the band tbh, it actually would help if I've seen them, too, which I haven't...and I haven't known about the band as long as most of you have. I could go on and on XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenegadeRoss Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 I think its more fair, because with drawing people can be using better programs and be more used to designing things, whereas when it comes to writing, theres no real advantages for anyone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catie Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 ^ thats exactly how i feel about this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel_hymn Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 Well I won't take part in it then, I honestly have no idea what to write, I'm better at drawing than writing, everyone knows that. XD There's a disadvantage when you're shit at writing And there's an advantage for everyone who's seen Paramore, cause duh, they have more to write about, they've had experiences. Whereas what have I had? Nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenegadeRoss Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 Not really, As i said in mine. I would write about me and my best friend having my heart as our song, but i wont go into detail about that the now, you dont need to have seen them to be honest. It doesnt make it any better i dont think, personally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel_hymn Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 More experiences = more to write = better chance to win I know they say quality > quantity, but every extra bit you write does help Whereas an album cover will be an album cover. There's only so much you can do on an album cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OliDayyy Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 Oh yeah I find this idea really great! As the english isn't my native language, it wouldn't be very easy to me, but why not trying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian KEEEEM Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 @fallen_angel ahh, but you see, a lot of people are shit at drawing! haha, but i do think that it doesnt matter whether you have programs like photoshop or whatever, i mean, look at RIOT!'s album cover, its just "RIOT!"x 1,000! I do think that if you did get to see Paramore in some way, that you will have more to write about, but like you, some people are shit at writing about what happens to them. Everyone has advantages and disadvantages... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avrilj92 Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 For the writing idea, what I would write about doesn't even have much to do with meeting them or even seeing them! It would mention that but whatever. I just think that OVERALL more people could write then make a creative, nice cover, when obviously the nicer one would recieve more attention. And for the creative people who want to do the album cover, then you can make your "essay" or "writing" creative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenegadeRoss Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 I reckon we'll just end up putting it down to a poll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avrilj92 Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 ^ If so, I'll definately vote for your idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echelonforever Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 I vote ross's idea! i'm great at writing! whatever you guys decide i will take part, i'm excited! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avrilj92 Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 ^ That's a nice positive attitude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenegadeRoss Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 wow, for the first time in my life ive actually had a good idea! haha Thanks guys :] Whatever wins, im sure we'll all give it a shot anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel_hymn Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 oh well, guess I can't take part then ...which sucks, but oh well. I've never won anything in my life anyway. lool I've just had enough of writing for a lifetime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenegadeRoss Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 How can you not take part? I suggested we should take it to a poll! The drawing might win! No-one said my idea was going to be the competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel_hymn Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 nah it's ok really XD the past 2 pages just say it all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 It might be easier just for us to choose what we want to do, individually? Cause whatver is picked, not everyone will be happy. Keep it loose and just say "express what Paramore means to you". That way something graphical and something written come under the same thing... maybe...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenegadeRoss Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 Thats a good idea too ^ Could have half the winners being artistic entries, and the other half being written entries! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel_hymn Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 Either way I can't say much, it's not like they've taken over my life or something XD I wouldn't know how to express in words or pictures. I would prefer a given prompt, something direct like the album cover contest After all wouldn't it be cool if the most popular album cover actually BECOMES the album cover?? O_O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locomotion Posted August 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 @fallen_angel ahh, but you see, a lot of people are shit at drawing! haha, but i do think that it doesnt matter whether you have programs like photoshop or whatever, i mean, look at RIOT!'s album cover, its just "RIOT!"x 1,000! Exactly. Oh yeah I find this idea really great!As the english isn't my native language, it wouldn't be very easy to me, but why not trying yeah I was also thinking about people who would have problems writting in english:? It might be easier just for us to choose what we want to do, individually? Cause whatver is picked, not everyone will be happy. Keep it loose and just say "express what Paramore means to you". That way something graphical and something written come under the same thing... maybe...? It would be hard to pick the winners if we took both things at the same, Thats a good idea too ^ Could have half the winners being artistic entries, and the other half being written entries! this sounds better. Could be a double contest. 4 cover winners, 4 written entries. I would prefer a given prompt, something direct like the album cover contest After all wouldn't it be cool if the most popular album cover actually BECOMES the album cover?? Ill talk it over with ash, who knows maybe the band can be the judges for the album covers=). Still this would be a 1% chance, the cover would have to be like really amazing =P.
