Win An iPhone Week 3
Posted in Brainy Stuff, Competition Stuff, Design Stuff, IWOOT Stuff, Office Stuff by Danny Woot
We were, again, very impressed with the sheer volume and quality of entries for our iPhone competition, and the Desktop Sculptures you submitted were, on the whole, barmy and brilliant. This week, we’re taking the competition back to the very inception of computer-aided artwork – we want you to make the best possible picture you can using Microsoft Paint. Yes, we’ve all wasted time drawing rabbits and buses and whatnot using the user-friendly interface but, as always, only the most creative, interesting, fun or though-provoking drawings will be in with a shot of winning! So open up the Start menu, go to accessories, click ‘Paint’ and go mad!
This is what I knocked up in about five minutes. Obviously, you should make more effort than that:
If you’re a Mac user, shove a PC-using colleague aside and get creative! Though you may be at a slight disadvantage, what with all the backwards-learning you’ll have to do… Honestly, as long as it’s better than the above, you’ll be in with a shot. Submit it to our Facebook wall before 10 AM on Monday October 19th, as per usual. The only other rule is that you have to squeeze the word “IWOOT” in the bottom corner, just so we know you’re not pilfering from other sources. Not that we think you’d do that…

There’s a slightly spiffier version of paint for those people who are running Windows 7.

Your Message…Is this grey boring window I have opened through start – accessories – paint……Microsoft Paint? Is it easy to use?
I see some experienced Microsoft Paint users have entered masterpieces, will all enteries been judged on their own merit and creative thing-e-ma-bob because I dont think alot of folks will be experts.
In fact I find the wobbly enteries better they seem to have more “feeling ….nothing but feelings” ay what happened there..
It seems rather like Tony Hart’s Gallery this….great guy.

Kate – yes, we value the idea over the execution, but it always helps if it looks nice.
Ms Bling – stay tuned for next week’s competition, it’s very inclusive. Macs and PCs will be able to enter in harmony.

have done a little research on the interweb thingy and it turns out there is software for Macs that mimics MS PAINT called Paintbrush, according to this:

and this:

I have already downloaded it (it is free and takes seconds to download and install) and played with it. It’s fun and easy.
So can I enter now, please? Is it ALLOWED?!!
(if not, can you do a competition EXCLUSIVELY for macs please?!!)
