Fark has them...

W1K has them...

What do you think the cliche' entries are here at PSC?

So far I'd say:

- Putting the source into an eye (no offense to anyone and yes some are great)
- Putting a scantily-clad woman into the chop for no reason other than to do it
- Jigsaw puzzles (I even did this one early on)

What others can you think of?


Edit - Changed the thread title. We're just talking about recurring themes here. Not implementing any Machiavellian rules. I'm just wondering what members have notice coming up repeatedly. Whether it's a theme that bugs you, gets you everytime, etc. Simply discussion.

LOL, would be much more challenging to identify ones that aint cliche'.

Destruction blood and gore!

well for MB

i love ya really

the caleidoscope kinda chop... for example http://photoshopcontest.com/view-entry/114117/car-art.html

oooeh..and clean ups....where's the car??? where's this??? where's that ???

I won a contest with a jigsaw puzzle...

if you was to dig deep enough in the forums you would find this same topic from about 2 years ago, strange thing is,,,,,,,,,, we had different cliches back then

Please don't go there.
WK1 drove me nuts with their stupid Cliche rule. I got kicked out temporarily on my first entry at WK1. It was a beginner contest and the source image to use was a photo of a store from the old west. I cut and pasted that store shop and placed it as the head of a Storm Trooper's body.... I titled it, "Store Trooper".

They acted like I put up porn or something. I never understood the rule fully and it took the fun out of making something with humor. BLAH!!! STORE TROOPERS RULE!!!

Wait, W1k MAKES you do cliches?

I remember when I was new and the first time I saw a jigsaw puzzle, I voted for it and my comment was something like: "Wow! What an amazing idea, you're like the biggest genius ever"... or something like that

Eddies

Sometimes when you want to use as much as possible of the source image a Clean up is just "step 1"

1) Look. it's daylight. Now it's night.
2) Look, it's raining
3) Look it's snowing
4) look, I own the flood filter
5) Look Photoshop has cool filters
6) Look I flipped the image, added ripples, and called it a reflection in the water.
7) Look, it's bleeding
Look I found a picture of a texture and layed it over a face. Now it looks like a scar. Wow! Call it a day.
9) LENSE FLARE!!!! YES!!!!!
10) Look it's the PSC logo. I must vote for it!!! (My favorite)


They are all ok if you take them to the next level.
