Hi

We had some great entries to our last 'vice' challenge, thanks to all who took part.

 

This week we have Clifford's tower in York. Originally a wooden structure built on the mound in around 1068 it was rebuilt in stone in the 13th century and repaired and restored in the 16th century. It has a long, and sometimes gruesome, history and has been a castle keep, a military prison, and even a royal mint. The name, incidentally, comes from Roger De Clifford a Baron who was executed for treason in 1322 at the tower.

 

So we have the tower and the mound, what can you do to show the next chapter in its history, hopefully more peaceful than its past?

 

The “rules”:

* Use the starter image as at least part of your own image entry.

* Anything goes, as long as it meets the forum rules on decency, copyright etc

* Anyone, and everyone, is welcome to have a go, whether you are a complete beginner or a Photoshop expert. This is not just for our forum "regulars".

* There are no prizes apart from the chance to practice, show off, or bring a bit of humour and fun. Don't be shy, join in and have a go!

* The starter image is made available for you to use in this forum challenge only. Sorry to emphasise this, but the image is not for use elsewhere.

 

To download the image below, hover over the image and click on the circle with the arrows at the top right.

Then, when the image opens in its own window, right click and choose “Save Image As/Save Target As” (or similar depending on your browser).

 

 

When posting back your image – please use the blue reply button in this first post. If posting a comment on someone else’s entry then please use the grey reply button next to their image post.

 

Have fun.

 

Dave

The new rebel base on the planet Sumpinoradda, orbiting a red dwarf known only by its code name, Space Heater 2, is starting to come together. But there's a spy...

I love it Alan, and you score max points for it's cool factor.  Red Dwarf meets Doctor Who and a (very large) Dalek.

You know, that's a great idea! I've been a Doctor Who fan since the first episode (1963), and several of my Zoom backgrounds are Tardis interiors. I live in the US now, where not so many people know the Doctor. You can't drop a Dalek joke into most conversations here, but I know several InDesign scripters and plugin developers who are big fans.

 

Very little of my commercial work requires Photoshop (it's almost all InDesign, Illustrator, and Stager), so these SFTW exercises are a nice change of pace. Maybe I'll do a Doctor Who composite to celebrate the 60th Anniversary.
