:: About ::
After seeing people with talent doing Awesome GFX Sigs only for themselves or only for fun/hobbie, I think it's time to give an opportunity to these people so they can create, share and improve their skills via competition.
:: GFX Signature ::
A GFX Signature is about Graphic Effects. So, usually you have a render/picture and you do the background according with what you think will suit better (brushes, contrast, patterns, textures, c4d's...). It's a combination of Graphic Design with Effects. The most used program for this stuff is Photoshop.
:: Challenge ::
There's a theme with specific rules and every participant does a gfx signature according to them. There's two kinds of challenges: A full month one and a half month one; a normal gfx challenge and a mini gfx challenge to be exact.
