I kinda wish that during the show, judges and exhibited artists would have worn some kinda pin or something so that you could pick them out in a crowd. It's always nice to know who you're talking to... or standing next to and eavesdropping on. In any event, I love this virtual tour of the show. Great concept! I only wish that some modifications had been made to the digital images so that they could've been standardized and not cropped in the thumbnail. There was a good article about that not long ago in "Art Calender" magazine. It basically illustrated how any image can be changed to a square format without cropping, by simply editing the size of the "canvas", which will then put boarders on the top and bottom of any wide rectangle, or on the sides of any tall one. These added boarders can then be easily colored. In this respect, all uncropped image is revealed in it's totality as a square (a common format). Then, going back to edit the size of the image, all the images can be set to a common ratio of pixels in width and height (e.g. 1920 x 1920). Back to the show: I'm also curious to hear more about how the final selection was decided on. I mean, what was the thought process behind it? Thanks again! :) I’m still dying to know what went on in the judging.
