Sounds like another tiring outdoor game? It’s not an outdoor game and it’s not tiring. Well, it may be tiring in a way but not, at least, for those skilled designers.

He and a friend “whacked” a file back and forth to kill time. Then he invited designers he knew to play in official matches.

The object ofrepparttar 107511 game is to add one layer of design on an image document that is sent back and forth by two players. Only one image document is used. Players are allowed to put different layers of designs such as background and foreground. Results are posted on a website in real time. The game ends wheneverrepparttar 107512 players decide to end it or if it takes hoursrepparttar 107513 decision will be based onrepparttar 107514 number of votes.

Afterrepparttar 107515 four test matches and four official matches were completed, designers from ad agencies and design shops visited his site. Some of them contacted Coudal for a chance to play in a match.

The book PhotoShop: Secrets ofrepparttar 107516 Pros is all about this type of competition. It isrepparttar 107517 first book to feature such game.

In each volley,repparttar 107521 designer either creates a new theme (inrepparttar 107522 initial volley), or they take what has been sent to him or her and start playing off of what was previously created.
