OKay - this will the thread for organising our response to challenge two.
It's a draw a flag challenge! The first point to make is that we're not in a major rush here, and that no-one should pm a flag to MapleBud until we've fully agreed to it here. We have until Saturday - so plenty of time to get it right.
There's two parts to this; 1) Teamwork - we can show that best by discussing in this thread how we think the flag should be designed, what elements need to be included etc; 2) Execution - How and who produces the final Flag pic etc. (I know all that is obvious, but it often helps to spell it out at the start of the thread.)
So .......
1)Obviously it needs the names of all tribe members. Did we have a colour set by MapleBud? Rafe? What else could we use to represent Avalanche? Is there a way to incorporate the "reality" theme in with "avalanche"?
2) Is anyone good with graphics in our tribe? I have all the software required - photoshop, paintshoppro, maya etc etc, but I also have the artistic ability of a drowning goat .... so I should be a "last resort" choice ;D Maybe I can help produce a nice finish to someboby else's work?

Guys I am a graphic designer for a living and a pretty decent one...lets each incorporate one thing we really want in the flag and I can design it.
There is no color scheme...I picked the name Avalanche because our team is going to destroy the others.
Let me know what you want on the flag...I want every person to have 1 item represented...my contribution will be putting it all together.

I think it should definitely have a mountain with snow falling off of it or something. I think all the names should be on it. Thats about all the suggestions I have. Sorry that I'm not much help but, I'm not the most creative person. lol. I'm horrible with graphics. So hopefully someone will say something and some new ideas will click for me.

Based on Michelle's idea...here's what I have come up with so far...please feel free to make comments or change things/add things to this...I want everyone to be represented. Though I do like our names in the flying snowballs!  Jason/Rafe |

OMG Rafe .... LOL you're a graphic designer? .... let's see, are we worried about our enormous unfair advantage .... err NO!  ( I spent years as a copy writer always arguing with graphic artists about their designs conflicting with my message - but here I like it  ) Awesome stuff Rafe. I still say hold off for a day or so .... that will allow us to incoporate the ideas of all team members (Teamwork is important in the scoring of the challenge) but I think we can count this as our challenge. |

Thanks guys...it was based on Michelle's idea, so thank her too.
And yeah I have a mind for copy Rich...my copywriters generally love me.
Once I hear from everyone I'll send it...don't be afraid to suggest anything else too.

Well I'd like to make one possible change. How about we add a few more "falling snowballs" with logos (or part logos) of the various reality shows being represented in this game? We could make them smaller or different in some way that Rafe likes? It may help split up the names a bit as well?
Dunno - it's hard to argue with what you've already got there cos it's pretty darn awesome. Just a thought.

Wow, Rafe! Love it! I definitely think we got this one in the bag! lol. Pure genius! Let's see...any sugestions...hmm...You know how most Survivor Flags have the logo as the main part of the flag, how about we incorporate that as well - just not as dramatically? Example: Have it almost fill the whole flag, but have it faded to almost invisible. Possibly make the logo B&W if it disrupts the coloring of the logo.
Also, since you're just so handy at this graphics stuff, lol. Could you possibly take buff from the CBS site, or an online picture and recolor it to a blue and white blend for our tribe buffs? I know it's not required, but it'd be cool to have it around for the heck of it. lol.
But, all in all, Rafe - that's amazing! Great job, once again! Thanks!
