Scotty Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Honestly if I win this one, I will have won 2 SOTW - I also have the biggest thread in the GFX section, I will demand Designer. I will even speak properly and act maturely if I am Designer. (This is an example of how I can talk and act) Thanks and good luck to you Oliver, hope you do great. xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aoede Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 This is a common misconception a lot of people has when hosting sotws, most think once they slap a theme in mind, they post the thread, every artist will come flocking to participate. It's fine when you have a very big community with your artists, then you can make leeway to just sub par ideas to make as a theme-- because hey it's in season. But if you're trying to open a community like this to engage all your creatives, you HAVE to be creative yourself as well. Put thought into the theme, put creativity in your thread, find ways to challenge designers, there's NOTHING more motivating for artists than seeing other artists flaunt their work. It challenges them to do better, to learn more. I know this may be a tad off-topic, but perhaps a little bit of constructive criticism would help. Don't just expect artists to join, motivate them to join. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't just expect artists to join, motivate them to join. I've been hosting the SOTW for a long time now. And yes, the easter might have been a theme I slapped on because it was easter. But it hasn't been proven to be a success either when I asked people for theme suggestions before. There's just not enough interest and because of that I couldn't put in prizes like VIP or other things, there also used to be a designer point system which was taken out because the graphics section simply wasn't active enough. So yes, I've tried plenty of things to motivate people without success so far. Please leave me and my creativity out of this before you get your facts straight. The things you just mentioned are general facts that I was aware of myself, if you happen to have any good or more in-depth suggestions, feel free to PM me them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
