Graphic Guidelines

A graphic can be designed using a variety of programs like Photoshop, GIMP or Paint. It must be league related. League grahpics may not be re-used from other leagues.

Requirements: 
- A reasonable amount effort. Effort is the amount of work put into a sig, and we recognize that the end product will vary by skill level. For example someone who has less skill with Graphics may come out with a worse looking product but still put considerable effort into it. Thus effort is essentially independent of the look. 
- We expect several layers and, in general, just a reasonable amount of time put into a graphic to make it worth 6 points.
- Be creative and don't be afraid to look at other graphics for inspiration, but be sure to be original.
- It is perfectly fine to post a PT that you used a tutorial to help you with but do try to grow into your own methods, and it may be good practice to show what tutorial you followed to help others give feedback.

Upon posting a graphic that you believe meets these requirements, you may claim 6 capped TPE immediately. 

Video Guidelines

Requirements:
- Effort is the main part of any graphic. If someone tries so hard to get their graphic right but doesn't do a good job on looks, he/she still deserves points.
- Should be atleast 30 seconds long and include transitions, music, or whatever to help you have a good final product.

Upon posting a video that you believe meets these requirements, you may claim 6 capped TPE immediately.

IMPORTANT RULES
- You may NOT submit a graphic or video twice for grading
- If you are found using another person's work, or a psd background, you will have to serve an updating ban at the discretion of the administrator/head grader.
- All other discrepancies will be handled by an administrator to ensure that the point task fits within the VHL Code of Conduct.
