The Next Sketch Collab?

Posted by Timsplosion - May 10th, 2010


Ok, I've been mulling this over, and I think I'm going to bring it to the NG general public to help me decide. You may have heard of "The Sketch Collab" recently. For those that don't know, the Sketch Collab is an annual collab, the central theme of which is to create animations reminiscent of doodles in a sketch pad, and it's taken place for the past four years now:

But next year, I'm faced with a dilemma. You see, "The Sketch Collab 2011" doesn't have the same ring to it as the others, "The Sketch Collab 08", "The Sketch Collab 2010", and I'm wondering if, for next year's collab, whether to, just for that year, ditch the "label by year" system, and call it "The Sketch Collab 5". I think that that sounds much better, but I don't know that I want to ditch the current system. So, what do you think?

Hey, I didnt knew u could do front page posts? XD
Um... that is a hard decision, IMO, the sketch collab 5 sounds weird, but im sure after a while I wouldnt mind the name, or maybe even think it was better...
What about "The 2011 Sketch Collab"?
Eh, not really sure, I myself though, wouldnt mind breaking the label by year thing, and both names sound equally ok, so I'll vote for the "Sketch Collab 5"

I know, it's awesome! :D
Hmm... Well, I'll think about it.

Someone will be tempted to make a Sketch Collab 6 before the year ends.

Why not "2011: The Sketch Collab"?

Well, you're supposed to check with the creator/owner of a series before you make your own one of it, so if anyone does start up a Sketch Collab 6 without my permission, I'll just say, thanks for the enthusiasm, but I'd like you to not do this. The people in the Collab forum seem like reasonable enough people.

Hmmm... Maybe. Again, it still doesn't quite have that ring to it, but we'll see.

2011: Sketch Collab Odyssey

Lol, that's pretty funny. I'll consider it.

stick with the name system... messing it around just makes it look shoddy... theres nothing wrong with Sketch collab 2011...
