This is your captain speaking. Our new mission brief has been established.
Biorust Community Collaboration Project 1.0 – Storyline
Kif and I have been working on an ongoing project idea to keep you, our starship crew, on your toes. It is listed in Branningan’s Law section 4.A that if you fail to participate in this project, I can legally shoot you and we wouldn’t want that would we? No! Good!
There’s rumours of a lot of alien life out there we haven’t killed yet, but before we can tangle with the purple-headed ones of the Erimus system, we must practise in a skill known as Graphic Design, Illustration and Photo-manipulation. These creatures in Erimus system are weak to such skills, so let us practise them to slay them once and for all.
Biorust Community Collaboration Project 1.0 – Brief
In order for us to dispose of the alien scum in the Erimus system, we must work as a team. No matter your skill level, rank and status within this community and industry sector, we have no choice but to co-operate.
The Zapp Brannigan’s Biorust Community Collaboration Project 1.0 is setup for each crew member (current and future) to
continue a graphical assault project while working as a team. This will help develop your skills, push your creativity to the limit, learn from others and have fun along the way.
The Brief will be entitled – Project Biorust
Biorust Community Collaboration Project 1.0 – How It Works
The project will be started by your loyal Captain, Zapp Brannigan.
I will post an image and the first person to read the thread will then add to their version of the image created in the last post. The person who reads the thread next will then take the second image and create their adaptation of the last persons work, and so on.
This will basically be like a ‘Graphics Battle’, but consider this as a ‘Graphics Community Project’, where there is no winner and the ‘battle’ is ongoing, so people who want to join in whenever they want can.
‘Graphics Battles’ can be fun, but a lot of people don’t enter because they don’t think they can win. This is different, as there is no winner and it gives everyone of mixed skill to work together and collaborate as an entire community. Another thing that puts people off when entering battles is the time needed to create your work, then wait for the entrance period to end and voting to start and finish.
Biorust Community Collaboration Project 1.0 - Rules
1. Use any style (vector, grunge, tech, illustration, stock/render, photomanip, typography etc)
2. There is no main theme, just your creativity.
3.
Use at least one design element (e.g. background, foreground, focus point, character, text, layout, décor etc) from the previous artwork posted.
4. Use typography (text) on your work to either continue a ‘story’ from the previous work, or a title for your work contained within your image.
5. The image must remain the same size throughout all contributions.
Summary:
Thread starter creates an image, poster one takes the image and makes their version following the rules above, poster two takes poster ones image and adapts their work into it and posts their design, poster three takes poster twos work and creates their own piece based around it and so on.
Note:
You can change the image slightly, or totally revamp it and create something others wouldn’t expect from it. You can also contribute more than once to the project if you see future artwork take a different direction that you want to add to with additional work.

Biorust Community Collaboration Project 1.0 – Lift Off!
Prepare the men Kif, the project begins straight away. Remember crew – teamwork is the only thing that will put an end to the aliens in the Erimus system. Let us destroy them together!
HERE’S THE IMAGE THAT GETS THE BALL ROLLING
Quite a simple photo manipulation to get things started. If anyone has any questions feel free to PM me or post below.
Good luck with your training, we need to be at our best for when we enter Erimus system!
