Hi every-one, now that my exams are done I have decided to finally bring the magazine associated with flaunt it sims Magazine. It has been a while since I have hosted but I wanted to make sure I was definitely free so that we can have a smooth running competition.

Flaunt it is an editorial competition that will be very diverse, but the one common denominator is that each photo you produce should be an editorial, which means it must be of good quality that it would fit into magazine's of sort. The assignments in this competition will include headshots, body-shots and some-times shot in-between. The themes will also vary from fashion shots to fantasy.

This competition will be laid back and a ball of fun, but this doesn't mean I don't still expect dedication and professionalism from you. This competitions aim is ultimately to look for a cover model for Flaunt it sims Magazine. The winner will be the cover model for multiple of the magazine covers and receive a interview with the magazine and a photoshoot to go along with it. Runner up will receive an interview for the magazine and of course both of you will win your own custom signature.

Please don't bring any negativity to the competition if you have a problem with anything message me and I will try sort out out.
Please do not put put yourself down, there is nothing worse than people doing this in competitions, if you are in the competition your work must be good.
Please be dedicated, nothing worse than some-one dropping (of course rl happens, game problems arise that can't be helped) but if you know you won't have time.
CC is allowed and recommended
Editing is allowed but isn't particularly recommended (all of these assignments could be done without)
Clothing/Hair/Object drawing etc is allowed however no photo-skinning/face plastering is allowed
Assignments will last 10 days (I understand some places are still in exam period and also people have busy work schedules)
2 extensions lasting 2 days are allowed each cycle, please ask for one 24 hours in advance.
There will be 8 Assignments plus the mock.
Any late entries will receive a -3 point deduction.
Deadline will be set at 11pm GMT(or BST as we are the now)
Most importantly be creative and enjoy yourself, don't stress out and try your best.

Scoring will be done similarly to other competition with the change that I will be bringing back bonus points which can be gained by either completing the extra bonus shots or by including the bonus requirement into your main assignment. Every-one who attempts the bonuses will gain 2 points and the winner will gain 4 points onto their overall score.
For the main assignment scoring we as judges will be using a scoring rubic that will be-

Image Quality: /5
Theme relativity: /5
Creativity: /10
Appearance: /10
Requirements: /5
Judges choice: /5
Overall Photo: /10

Overall: /50

Scoring Breakdown

Theme relativity- is your photo in line with the theme.
Creativity- how creative have went, does your photo stick out in a good way.
Appearance- How does your sim look, is her styling nice (will be judged depending on assignment and what can be seen (depending on length of shot).

    Water Shot
    High Fashion
    Editorial Style Photo
    Thin Black Border
    Full shot.

    🐸🐸🐸🐸 Mizzie, I am really loving this, the quality of that background is so crisp and Rebecca looks right in place there! Your styling is so on point, she looks urban through her outfit in a more chic background. It’s creative and I just like the overall feel from this!

    I love the idea that your urban chic look isn’t for a buzzing metropolis such as New York, but for a calmer European city. I think the jumpsuit is lovely but rather plain even with the added details of the belt. I also have a slight issue with the clutch. The fact you cannot see the clasp makes it look a bit like a pink pillow that she is holding. Other than that, this is a lovely shot.

    Eli, I love the hair choice, very chic and lovely! I also seriously love the dress, it’s a pattern that reminds me of something urban yet it’s a chic flowy dress, I feel maybe a different colour would have shown the chic a bit more. Also your setting seems quite lacking to me, maybe a build-up setting would have worked better for you… Eli still looks great here though!

    This is a really nice, bubbly take on the theme. The dress you have used is perfect for the theme. I don’t however really like the length of the shot. If you had taken it so the full bottom of the skirt was showing, then I would feel better about it but it’s just the awkward bit of the skirt that isn’t in the shot that annoys me a bit.

    This is cute, Eli! Love the dress, styling, and hair! I think you did well with the theme, and only wish for a more thought out background. This one is a bit too plain for my liking.

    Adriana I love this entry, I can clearly see the urban and also the chic! The setting is simple but not at all boring which is great! I love the colours you chose for styling the light colours really scream chic. I love how you also pulled in urban to the outfit through the dashes of black. Good job!

    I love the blazar for the urban chic theme and the skirt; the tights however I don’t think go as well with it. I think sheer black would have looked better. The setting is good as it is clearly urban and this really helps to assert your theme.

    This is great! Love her skirt and blazer, as well as the subway background. You probably could have done without the leggings, but after I look at the picture more, I like them. I don’t really have any complaints here, I wish her face was just more visible!

    Ahh I love how Lila looks, the pose makes her look chic but unfortunately this photo is more just the urban in general, the styling isn’t very chic at all and that lost you the majority of points, maybe putting this in colour and using lighter aspects in the clothing? Also Lila is proportioned well in the background this week however it doesn’t look to be as good quality of lila herself. Good try.

    I love the outfit Lila is wearing. I also love the black & white filter on the shot since for me anyway it gives it a grungier feel that I think you were going with for the shot considering the background. The outfit is also very chic with the sheer fabric on the top of the top half of the outfit. This is a really good entry for this round’s theme Gemma.

    Love your approach with this! I like how you went b+w and the styling. I like the background as well, I just wish your quality was a tad bit better. I think eye contact would have helped here too. There are some cutting out errors that caught my eye, but still a good job!

    Firstly I would just like to say I’m sad we haven’t been able to see wysteria’s pretty face in this shot! I feel that a more look into the camera posing would look better. I like your styling, however the boots seem a bit of, maybe black and chunky boots would have given of the urban feel? Your photo says chic to me more, the styling could go either way but II feel the chic more of it, then there is the chic background. I just believe you could have done so much more this assignment…

    I’ll say this only once, QUALITY. It’s quite low and that does lose you marks. Check your settings. The idea of a side facing shot is interesting but it doesn’t quite work for me. Personally, I like to shots that are fashion based to be front on so you can see the clothes. Also the setting doesn’t really say urban, more countryside. I do think that the small jacket she is wearing is nice.

    I think her purple hair is really getting to me! In a good way, she pulls it off. I am, however, not a huge fan of this. It’s not very wowing or editorial. A simple pose change could have changed that as well as colors. I feel her outfit is too green and just doesnt fit this style. EA clothes and poses don’t always fit assignments well, which is where CC comes into play. I do want to applaud your lighting, I can clearly see her. I think some simple changes could have pulled this together!

    Sorry to see you eliminated Rosalina, I hope to see you progress in other competitions :)

    I don't really think I can join or judge full time... but... since I'm also mag staff... IF you need a tie-breaker or something, PM me! You can put me on reserve for that if you want to.

    And with that I go to nap for two hours before class starts. XD
