Yeah, which is understandable, so I can't say I blame the kids. It's just sad.
The only reason I see a report button necessary is if the piece is theft. Which the image of the banana was, as far as people were concerned it was stolen, and a lot of people felt left in the dark. Had the person drawn it themselves I would have waved it off and went on my way. Then after all of that concern and confusion as to why this person was stealing artwork and trying to profit off of it, they pulled the whole "Haha JK" bullshit, it was just annoying :/. As for censoring artwork, I agree. It's art, and shouldn't be censored. Trying to make profit off another persons work is what bugs me. It was just all the bullshit that everyone had to go through because of it all. Maybe the report button would have acted as a placebo, haha, I don't know. I just wondered if the staff were aware it was stolen or not. I'm sure someone contacted them anyways, or people just scored zeros like crazy. I doubt it would have been printed, I guess it would be much simpler to have a button there, instead of contacting them.
I'm sure, it's just one of those things that if I can't fix it then it bothers me. Having to wait and know what a problem is, without being able to fix it then and there has always been a pet peeve of mine. I guess I see it as sort of a "well now it's too late" to critique when someone's already put it up into the running, instead of doing it while in progress. Don't get me wrong, I love critique, it's valuable for me, and I appreciate any I get especially when I'm not in school where someone can help me along the way and have it be part of their job. It's just a bit frustrating when I ask for critique and receive little. Oh well, it's just something I'll have to get over eventually.
You're welcome! I hope it does make it. I know, moving the image to photoshop can be painstaking at times, I had such problems with the sizing and quality, and it still turned out funky as well. Haha, mine was about a 2.3- 2.4 or something. I'm just happy it made it through the week period, and that friends and family supported it. Ouch, indeed, well hopefully they've learned from the experience anyways.
