As a photographer


Chose a Wendy and print it. Decide on a kind of media (currently available are photobooth, instagram and Polaroid), take a photo or several with your chosen Wendy.
If you don’t have any access to any of our chosen media, feel free to grab the gifs, we provided and photoshop. If you don’t know how to do that, you are welcome to email us and we’ll help you out at: projectxwendy [at] gmail [dot] com. If you have nowhere to host your image/images, please let us know and we’ll gladly host it for you.

Before posting:

Please fill in the header provided and post your image to the comm. More than one image should be posted under a cut to spare the f-list.
It’s your choice if you want to post the images locked or unlocked. Anything unlocked will be cross-posted to our tumblr by us, posting an image unlocked, means you allow us to share it publicly on tumblr as well as LJ. Should you change your mind afterwards, please email us and we’ll lock the post for you/take down the image from tumblr.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.
Don’t worry about tagging, we’ll take care of it.

As an artist


Pretty much, the same, as a poster, however, if you want to contribute something else, like for instance more Wendys for everyone to use, please sent us an email at: projectxwendy [at] gmail [dot] com. New artists are always welcome. You will of course be credited as the creator of your very own Wendy.
By contributing your Wendy to projectwendy, you agree that it can be used in banners, icons etc. to pimp the community and widely distributed for members to use for this project. You also allow us to use it on our tumblr. If you disagree with any of this, please let us know and we’ll restrict the use to for instance icons or banners if that’s possible.
If you contribute your own Wendy design your LJ name/a link to your artist page will be added to our list of artists.

Challenge: Hello my name is Wendy
Date: August 4th and 5th respectively
Location (City or Country): A photobooth in Cologne Central
Media used: Photobooth, a straw, a watch, straws


Heat makes this WAY more difficult than it seemed at first! Love the ones with the moustache failure the most! XD

Welcome!

We are so very excited to bring you our very first official challenge. The mods have already taken their obligatory picture and it will be posted soon, but first, here's how YOU can contribute. *insert suspenseful music here*

• 1. Grab a Wendy of your choice
• 2. Check out the "how to contribute post"
• 3. Take as many photos as you want
  (btw, if you want to glue Wendy to a balloon and take a pic of that in a photobooth, be our guest! Creativity in all it's beautiful facets is welcome here!)
• 4. Post your contribution to this community.
• 5. Look, Love, Comment, Enjoy!

A word of advice, we've used double-faced adhesive tape to stick Wendy to our faces so far and while that works good on cold days... you get my drift. It pays to have a second batch of tape ready OR if you have a better idea on how to get the stuff to stick let us knooooooow :D

As for not sticking it to your face at all. We've found getting your average drinking straw and sticking Wendy to it works brilliantly, plus, you get can get them anywhere!

Depending on participation we might need to stretch our first challenge into September.

Again, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask them!

Challenge: Wendy goes to Pride
Date: 8th July 2012
Location (City or Country - optional): Cologne, Germany
Media used: Paper, straws, t-shirts and a regular digital camera

So, we're a bit late with these pics but we had to get the layout done and resize the images which took some time.

Wendy went to Pride and it was amazing. People really liked the idea and we got lots of awesome pictures that we're going to share with you.

If you want to be part of the Wendy Project community, we kindly ask you to follow this simple set of rules.

• 1. Be nice!
  No flaming or bashing of other community members, their posts or ideas. No homophobic or racist slurs. We will not accept that kind of behaviour and if after being warned you keep it up, you will find yourself banned from taking part.
• 2. Posting
  Please follow the posting guidelines as found in this post.
  Also, pictures must be posted directly to the community to make them easier to collect for our end of the month summaries, but feel free to make and link to your own post on top of contributing directly.
• 3. No Spamming
  What it says in the title, basically, if you want to pimp something, be it your own Wendy post or another community etc. ask a mod first, if you get the okay, your post will not be considered spam.
• 4. No Hotlinking
  If you wish to share someone else’s post please link to their post instead of hotlinking the images. Same goes for any post that we make.
• 5. Please respect the friends-lock
  If a member locks their entry to the community, they don’t want their pictures shared outside of it. Please respect this, if you do want to share one of their photos that doesn’t actually contain people, you can send us an email and we’ll ask them for you. Again, no hotlinking, crossposting etc. without permission.
• 6. Respect the mods privacy
  Please don’t follow the mods to their private journals unless encouraged to do so, if you need to contact one of them for some reason, please use the mod account or sent us an email. In case of questions or emergencies: projectxwendy [at] gmail [dot] com
• 7. Have Fun
  It takes a Wendy to Boogie.

In this post you’ll find several different sized gifs you can use to photoshop your own photos into the shape of a Polaroid picture, a photobooth photostrip etc.

If you are looking for a higher resolution than we've got uploaded to our photobucket account, please leave a comment with your email address to this entry and we'll be happy to forward them to you. If for some reason you can't add your own photos to one of the media, feel free to email us at projectxwendy[at]gmail[dot]com. The info we'll need is in which order you'd like your photos to be used and which media you want them to be presented in.

Soon you’ll also find banners and icons you can use to pimp this community. All icons and banners of previous challenges will also be collected here.


Photobooth strips (as gifs, so people can photoshop their own thing)
No. 1 No. 2

Film Strip (as a gif, so people can photoshop their own thing)


Polariod frame (as a gif, so people can photoshop their own thing)

Have a suggestion for challenges or how to improve the community or perhaps an event you think we should go to, you wish to take Wendy to?

Also, any suggestions re materials or the addition of new tags to make the community easier to navigate are most welcome.

Please feel free to leave suggestions for all of this as comments to this post.

Preliminary Schedule

During the first three weeks of every month you should only contribute posts that belong to the challenge posted for that month, the last week though, is basically free-verse so any challenge we used before is a ‘go’.


Challenges:

• August: “Hello my name is Wendy”
  You and Wendy, using any of our media in any location you choose.
• September: “Wendy around the World”
  Take a photo with Wendy and famous landmarks, for instance, it doesn’t if it’s you wearing Wendy in front of the Eiffel tower or the Eiffel tower wearing Wendy, as long as it’s a famous landmark, everything goes.
• October: “Wendy in Art"
  Famous paintings, statues etc. wearing Wendy. This Challenge falls under “Guerilla Art”. We’ll post a step by step description on how to craft a Wendy that you can use without damaging the art itself. For our explanation of Guerilla Art please check out this post.

PSA

Privacy
All posts that are submitted to the community and are unlocked will automatically be cross-posted to our tumblr. If you don’t want this to happen, because you don’t want your picture publicly available, but still want to contribute, please lock your post and will accept that to mean that you don’t want to share it.
Should you want to remove the photo after having it posted publicly, just drop us a line and we’ll take it down. (projectxwendy [at] gmail [dot] com)


Copyright
All the Wendys used for this project were specifically designed by our artists to be used for it and should not be used outside of the project. Because among other things, the artists have only granted the use of their art for this project.


Disclaimer
We don’t own the original idea for a moustache named Wendy. No copyright infringement intended, also we are poor students, we don’t have money anyway.

These terms are subject to change.

FAQ

• What is The Wendy Project?
  The Wendy Project is an art project. We got inspired by that wonderful "Loki'd" video staring Tom Hiddleston and decided to create our own Wendys. Basically, we will provide monthly themes and will then take photos fitting those themes, with our beards Wendys and post them here and on our tumblr.
• Am I allowed to make icons and other graphics using the communities Wendys?
  Yes and No. You can use Wendys as provided by the community to make icons and banners/graphics only to pimp this community or add it to your own post containing your very own Wendy adventures. There are many beards available on Google that you can use. We've had our Wendys designed specifically for this project. If you still have questions about this, please feel free to ask us.
• How can I contribute to the project?
  We've made an entire post about it, which you can find here. The short version is, print your Wendy of choice, take photos according to the theme of the month and share them with us. You can do this either by emailing us and having us photoshop it into the media of your choice (we've also got our own photobucket account, so we could host the images for you) or posting directly to the community, using the posting template provided.
• Is Wendy fandom specific?
  While Wendy originated in the Hiddleston/Loki/Thor/Avenger fandom it can be applied to any fandom you wish, it's just a beard it can go anywhere and do anything. If you want to dress up as Samantha Carter, Draco Malfoy or The Doctor and wear a Wendy or just be your old self, that's perfectly alright with us, we'd love to have you!
• Where am I allowed to pimp the project?
  Anywhere you please, as long as you link back here. If you pimp this at a community etc. just make sure the mods are okay with you pimping it there.
• Do I need to have an LJ/Tumblr account to participate/contribute?
  The beautiful thing is, everyone can take part in this, you don't need a tumblr account you don't even really need an LJ account to take part. If you want to, or your friends want to and they don't have an account on either site, we'd love to help you contribute by using the mod account to post your photos for you.

If you have any further questions, please drop us a line here and don't hesitate to contact us.
