What's In Your Desk Drawer? Competition
posted by steve-oh, May 1, 2007 3:55 PM — 26 commentsCompetition time again!
Another memory card awaits you - this time the topic is "What's In Your Desk Drawer?"
Everyday items tend to make the best stock images, and what better place to find these objects than in your desk drawer.
So, open those desk drawers, reach in, and pull out items worth exploring with your camera.
Of course we may increase the value / number of prizes based on the number and quality of uploads.
Rules
- Photo must be come from your desk drawer
- Photo must be a new upload, files already on SXC cannot be entered
- Must add "comp04" to keywords
- All other upload rules apply
- No limit on submissions
Deadline
May 21, 2007
The winner will be selected by our jury.
Have fun!

My wife is always complain of the junk I keep in my drawer (andon every shelf). I feel it's valuable and been a compulsive collector I am not for throwing things. But your competition may bring light to all those items and artifacts we keep in the shade. thanks.

Just looked in my drawer. With all the pens, ink cartridges, lollies (guilt) etc it'll be hard to get around the no logos rule.

Well, I thought I have already shot all interesting things from my drawer... But I'll definitely look for more ;-)

Well, if you don't have a desk drawer, then you can pick something on top of your desk. :)

Just submit photos to SXC and add 07 at the end of your submissions name/title

Umm... unclear: does the photo have to be taken from my desk drawer, or is it just the item that counts (so is it allowed to just take something out of there and shoot it elsewhere)?

So, if I just use stuff that would go in a desk drawer, would that be okay? I don't have a drawer sooo, yeah. I could use the drawer from a different desk...that might work, too. Hmm, this should be fun.

Photoshop fun making an eyeball - Updated!Feb 10, 2012 3:18 PM nuhs wrote
For the pupil part where you say "Draw circle and feather 1 px," the tutorial is not clear.
Do not use the Shape tool. Instead, use the Elliptical Marquee tool and draw a circle. Then in the upper menu, go to Select > Modify > Feather. Choose 1px.
Then you can use the Paint Bucket tool to fill with black.
