Asterdai Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 (edited) My immediate thought was a cirle, and immediate impressions are what count when you glance at a symbol i think, say if you asked that question to me with a play set and had 5 shapes in front of me, and i was asked to choose one star circle square triangle rectangle i would have picked the circle straight away in not even sure why because if i stop to think about it for a moment, say you gave me a small block of cheese and asked me to "sharpen" the rectangular square shape with a knife, i would probably carve a star if i had no time limit, and the prize for the best answer/entry won 10,000 pounds (cheese is too smelly to do for less ) and if you gave me a tutorial on a computer program and asked me that question, and we had done a course of manipulating shapes in graphic design and stuff, CAD and that, i would do a 3D shape like you get at the bottom of a sea scan or somthing,or even go do something like this effect of a symbol http://www.swordsandarmor.com/mall/mace-spiked-club.htm http://www.swordsandarmor.com/mall/mace-spiked.htm (not the sticks just the "sharp" end of the weapons) if you "sharpen" something is real life, a pencil a kicthen knife, or a citrusy taste which is really really tangy, Ooo thats sharp!*shudders* sharpen? in my mind, not having to look at a dictionary, i would imediately think about the square as a table. my mother used to say to me "careful! the corners are sharp! stop running around" or something like that if i was asked to "sharpen" a circle though, from the blocks again, i would choose a star. i know the choices here are limited, but the idea is the same. just being ironic but let me try something if you had a "star" shaped symbol, boring-ified, if you asked me that, i would think a simple dot imediately but then would probably turn it into a square, because really that quite "neat" and boring. i think its because i think of manmade things with a square. a table, a brick, a house but then your first symbols to a flag, if i saw a red square like that, depending on what colour background, i would think of something like um.. china: red on white symbol, or vodka "red square", red blood danger maybe,all those i wonder about people who arnt english, what they think about the word sharpen ok so i can decide if i want the choose a red circle as the answer, or a red star...where do i go from here... if you asked me to counter it, i would choose circle... but sharpen is different. the original object in real life doesnt change shape, the knife is still a knife! because of the way the shape is here, i would do soemthing different. i would "push" in on two opposite corners of the 2d flat square and turning it into a romboid, creating two edges with sharper angle then 90 degrees. it would be sharp and pointified [IMG]http://i817.photobucket.com/albums/zz93/Asterdai/sharper.png[/IMG] Edited December 16, 2010 by Asterdai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metal Bunny Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Many people already did or have a variant of a sharp cross like thing. I wanted to do that as well, but then I thought that it may not have been sharp enough. So, in my image I completely collapsed the corners.

Aysun Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 (edited) For the fourth round! I thought about putting it into the 5th dimension, but that's bordering on convoluted and overkill for just this I think, haha.

Root Admin Muratus del Mur Posted December 21, 2010 Author Root Admin Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 I am closing the recruitment stages, thank you all for participating. I will post after chirstmas probably (or sooner if i am able to) a post with details and comments about your submitted images. I am glad i was able to pick a few of you for the ally but before i name those i wish to comment on most of your submissions so you know how i based my judgement. btw, in the 4th stage nobody found the jackpot answer however there are several that fit the "sharpen" word. You will not get a pm from me, you will have to watch out for replies or new topics to see what i picked. Alsom you might not see it as such but it was a hard series of symbol tasks. Some i will name are already dedicated to a role and i will not accept them to my ally, however, i will think of a symbolic reward to give them , something that won't alter their current role. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
