"Heroes are born, Superheroes are created"

I got this idea from Who Wants to Be a Superhero

You will be making a handmade postcard for (2) partners

➊ Dress yourself up as some sort of superhero (dramatic make-up, masks, capes.. ) You can’t be Wonder Woman, Batman, and all those others because they already “exist”. Be creative and original :)

➋ Take photos of yourself in your “costume”. Focus on your face and upper half of body; you do not have to take a full body shot. Use the two of your best photo shots for your postcard.

Make sure your photos are good quality – no blurry, pixel ones

➌ Design your postcard! Think of it as a promotional flyer.

  • You can use Photoshop or other digital art programs to create your postcard. Give it a fun, crazy background and special effects. Try not to alter your appearance too much (different hair colors or eye colors are ok)

  • If you have no idea how to use Photoshop or other digital art programs, you can use scrapbook papers, magazine cut-out, etc to create your background and special effects on your postcard. You still have to include your photo (dress as a superhero). Make sure they won’t fall off or become loose before you mail them.

Your postcards should look something like these when you are finish

➍ On the back of your postcard include:

*Swap-bot name

*Real name

*Code name -- check out this site if you’re stuck

*Superpower(s)

*You fight for -- justice? peace? cupcakes?


Requirements:

  • Must have a rating of 4.8 or better
  • Newbies are welcome but MUST have completed profile
  • No unexplained no-sends
  • Absolutely no flakers, please!
  • Please remember to rate your partner :)

I will ban, if necessary Feel free to ask any questions.

HAVE FUN!!! :)

I love the show! We watched both seasons religiously on the SciFi channel. I think FeedBack is cute! Anyway, wt6ching for now-- not sure if I'll have time to do this one, but it's a great idea.

@ Bandeau Awesome!! I just finished with my costume yesterday and took pictures today XD

I wish I could see everyone's superhero photos :) I was thinking of creating a flickr group (just for this swap) to upload our superhero photo :D If anyone is willing to, please PM me. It will be super fun to see how everyone portray as their own superhero!
