Magenta Edition 2012
Last month we opened up our Everyone’s a Critic Section for Artifex. It has been fantastic to see people constructively providing criticism in a way that not only supports but assists in Members moving their pieces forward constructively. For those new to Artifex, or have not seen/used the Critique Section yet here is a brief explanation. Stemming from the success of Rate my Sig Thread on Artifex (created by Elfstruck) and in the knowledge that Constructive Criticism does assist in an Artists development of a piece. The Modi developed a system in which they believed Members could present their work in a place knowing that any criticism they would receive was purely for their benefit. The section is broken into 3 Threads; First Draft, Second Draft and Final Draft. Members present their piece in First Draft and then their piece is critiqued using a yin-yang concept. For every Compliment must be a Critique and vice versa, this was done in the hopes that everyone would receive a fair and helpful critique to their piece. We welcome all members to present their work and/or critique works.
A New Informer, New Look and New activities welcomed Artifex.justgoo into the New Year, but we are missing everyone! Tis cold and lonely here at the moment, which is why we are offering prizes to anyone who by the 31st of January can increase their post count (without spamming) by 20+
Prizes: For those still catching up on events at Artifex, each week we will not only be producing our regular informer (now in smexy pdf!) but also recolouring our smexy forum into any colour our forum users want! To get your choice heard visit our home page and vote in our poll!
