And were off! If anyone knows anyone interested in graphics, then please tell them about this thread. The more the merrier as they say. :) Good luck everyone.
 
Hmm, I wonder if I can photoshop my Concorde from what it was to what it is now :p

That would be SO cool, but alas my photoshop talent does not exist past limited photo editing :(

Anyone wanna have a go?

Have a go. Whats the worst that can happen, other than it turning out terrible and us all mocking you. :p Seriously though, this competition is for fun, and i'd love to see people of all skill levels joining in. The only way to get better is to practice, and if you get stuck just ask for help, and im sure people will be more than willing to give a helping hand.

Just to help people with some ideas, here is the dictionary definition of the theme title;

re·birth Pronunciation Key (r-bûrth, rbûrth)
n.

1. A second or new birth; reincarnation.
2. A renaissance; a revival: a rebirth of classicism in architecture.


rebirth

n 1: after death the soul begins a new cycle of existence in another human body [syn: metempsychosis] 2: a second or new birth [syn: reincarnation] 3: the revival of learning and culture [syn: Renaissance, renascence] 4: a spiritual enlightenment causing a person to lead a new life [syn: conversion, spiritual rebirth]

Not going well so far. I've killed somebody and and I'm trying to take pictures as I try to resuscitate them. Can somebody hold the camera as I use the defibrillators?
 
I'd say no tbh. I'll talk to fini and see what he thinks, but my initial thought is no, as its meant to keep all the entries in the same format, making it easier to judge, and fairer.
