'Tis the Season...to challenge yourself!
theartofmanipulation.deviantar…


Hi everyone! ivy-ashe.deviantart.com/  here with a special challenge for you! We at theartofmanipulation.deviantar… would like to challenge everyone in the photomanipulation community to create a manip-a-day for the month of December! Yep, you heard that right...a manip-a-day! We'll say 30 manips, Christmas Day can be optional

This challenge was inspired by  and her quest to complete a manip-a-day for the month of October. You can read more about that here fav.me/d5k6n7p

So this month at TAOM, instead of our usual learning challenge we'd like to ask you all to take what you've learned over the past few months and work on refining your skills. I know 30 manips can be intimidating but don't sweat it! You don't have to complete a full manip each day (of course you can if you'd like) but maybe work on certain areas each day or do a small manip every day (say, 4"x 5"). Figure out what your goal for the month is and then go from there! For example, I'm giving myself 3 hours a day to do this. Whatever I've gotten done at the end of the three hours is what I'll post. Hopefully by the end of the month, I'll have improved skill-wise and be better at time-management!

Our friendly gallery mod, *nitchwarmer, is almost done with his 30 in 30. As a bit of encouragement, I'll post his #1 manip and one of his most recent works so you can see how much this challenge can help you improve.


Great job, Max!

Ok, to help you in your quest to do a manip-a-day, the admins at TAOM have put together a list of daily themes. These themes are not mandatory, they're just in case you need a little inspiration. You can also visit ~100Themes and take a look at their lists of themes if you need additional help coming up with ideas

You can submit your work each day to our favorites folder Manip-A-Day. At the end of the month, you can use the Manip-a-Day Template created for us by =nikkidoodlesx3  to make an improvement meme. Everyone that does a meme and has completed the challenge with 30 manips will have their meme featured in our Featured gallery for the month of January and will be featured in a group journal! Just send a note to the group by January 5th with the link for your completed meme.

Are you wondering about prizes? There are none! The prize for this is the satisfaction you'll get from meeting your goal and improving your skills!

I hope you all participate! Good luck!
