With Face Off coming to an end, I think it's time for me to start up another modeling competition! I'm going to step out of the box of the typical competition style and bring you something new (to me):
team-style competition!
In this competition, there will be two teams:
Team Sophistication and
Team Sassy - you will get to choose which team you are on when you sign up, but spaces are limited due to the way in which eliminations will take place!
Don't let the word "team" fool you, however... You will be competing against other members of your team, and in the end, we will have
TWO winners - ONE from each team!!! Each round, there will be an elimination from each team.
The team you choose will determine your requirements throughout the entire competition. You will have to showcase your skills as a sophisticated stylist, photographer, and model for
Team Sophistication OR you will show us the sassier side of fashion; putting a unique touch on the makeup, styling, and setting for your model on
Team Sassy!
Assignments will be mixtures of headshots and full bodyshots - all done in
editorial/magazine styles! That means simplistic settings that allow us to focus on your beautiful model! Take a look below at the assignments for more information and to help you decide which team you'll be on!
No negativity, this includes belittling yourself
No copying and No Fighting
Editing is recommended, but not required
You may draw your own clothing, hair and objects
Extensions granted to the person asking if asked 24 hours before deadline
Assignments last 7-10 days depending on my schedule

ASSIGNMENT 5: BLACK & WHITE MODERN
It's been a while since I've required a black & white image, so I thought it'd be nice to do one! For this assignment, you will want to think about fashion editorials that you would see in magazines. They are often dressed a little oddly for the sake of fashion and their settings are quite simple - but you will want to play with lighting and shadows to make your photo stand out!
For this assignment, please think outside the box for how you style and pose your model. Your clothing should be high fashion and not too simple or safe - be daring! Even for you team sophisticated!
A good tip: do a Google search for fashion editorials or high fashion photography in black & white and you will find some fabulous examples (like the ones I found)
Good Luck!
REQUIREMENTS

BLACK & WHITE EDITORIAL
In regards to THIS competition...
Team Sophistication: The judges will look for specifics in your photo that cater to the more conservative side of fashion. That means tasteful wardrobe pieces, elegant and beautiful makeup and hair style choices, and poses that are high fashion, but not so outlandish that they appear over-the-top! Keep it beautiful, keep it sweet, and most of all - keep it classy!
Team Sassy: The judges will look for specifics in your photo that cater to the more daring side of fashion. That means bold wardrobe pieces, funky and fresh makeup and hair style choices, and poses that are high fashion AND a bit over-the-top! Still, keep it beautiful, keep it fun, and most of all - keep it sassy!
*the example photos shown are only meant to serve as inspiration.
EXAMPLE:
DEADLINE: AUGUST 22ND
In this competition, we will use a standard scoring rubric and judges will also give comments and critiques.
The Scoring Rubrics are almost identical, but I've made 2 separate ones so that judging is simpler to understand.
Judges are asked to judge the photos in the style in which they are meant to be - for example: we will not be comparing Sophisticated "A" and Sassy "A", but rather comparing Sophisticated "A" to Sophisticated "B" and so on. Remember, you're competing with the other members of your TEAM, not those from the OTHER team!

Beginning with round 2, each team will have one person eliminated. The teams will be ranked in a slideshow with the eliminated models being revealed at the end.
Photo Quality: How crisp and clean is your image? Is it free of unintentional blurred spots? Is it free of choppy edges or obvious areas where your model was cut out of a previous background? Are your poses clean so that your model's limbs are not borked and wacky?
Photo Presentation: Is your photo a relatively good size so we can see all detail? Is your model placed in a way that is appealing to the eye? Is your setting good and meets the requirements? Did you crop your photo nicely in a way that makes us like what we see?
Sophisticated/Sassy Appeal: Depending on your team; did you meet the requirements for your designated style? This includes not only clothing, but hair, makeup, and pose as well.
Creativity in Styling: Did you choose outfits and accessories that are good for your designated style as well as interesting and unique? Did you style your model's hair and makeup in a pleasing way (that fits your designated style)?
Requirements: There is a list of requirements as well as requirements written in the assignment description, did you follow them?
Judge's Preference: Judges have opinions too and we will be fair, but we want you to see whether or not we absolutely loved your photo here.
TEAM SOPHISTICATED
TEAM SASSY
FIRST, SOME WORDS FROM BEECH:
I promise to work on my speed on getting these up. Fingers crossed I'll have no more forum issues!
You all did very well and I thought you all had some excellent ideas with your shots. Scores were SO CLOSE!! So keep that in mind! Thanks again for your patience!
In regards to the slideshow...
Your scores and comments are posted on an outside website in alphabetical order based on your simming username! Your final placements will be shown in a slideshow that is on the same page as your comments.
Please watch the entire slideshow in order to see where you ended up. Remember!!! You are competing against your fellow teammates so you will see 1st-7th placements for BOTH teams!

This would be a great comp for the summer! I'm definitely going team soohistacated as it's deffo more me and my styling!
@NShippudenFan Makes sense to me! From what I've seen of your styling, I'd say sophisticated would suit you better. I'm sure you'll do great on either team though!
@BeechNutBaby Stop tempting me with these things! Grrrr! I would join, but I'm hoping to be employed this summer. I've been a lazy simming bum long enough. Plus I'm working on a sim story too. So I'm sticking to 1 comp at a time now.
