OFFICIAL GFRIEND ✦ DYNAMIC VISION ✦ VOTING THREAD

[Lee]

 I'm not gonna lie. There were some beautiful photos I saw. But because they did not meet the requirements of '1920x1080', I had to disregard them. I also like the suggestions shared above.

I forgot the site/location from which I took these photos. I assume all of them are official photoshoots. Some might have been taken from unusual places. In any case, I re-uploaded them to Imgur. I did not compress or re-size any of these images. I placed each of them in a spoiler and included the dimensions outside of it.

1. 2048 x 1285

Spoiler

2. 4096 x 2726

Spoiler

3. 2432 x 1832

I think some of these photos I included do look nice. But, I feel some may look unsuitable as a header.

EDIT 1: These images don't meet the requirements. Sorry.

Moved back. Reuploaded another image.

I have three more suggestions. They are all taken from American Tourister Korea's Facebook photo page.

2048 x 1291

I agree in saying that we already have plenty. I would be happy if any of the suggestions above were used

I used Gimp to access the mock template supplied in the FAQ. (I can only try Vision - I'd love to try Night Vision too!) Here are my results after moving my (selected), suggested images around a few times:

1 (I can barely see Sowon and Yerin)

2

3

4

5

For all, except for 1 and 2, I can barely make out the OH logo. I might try experimenting a few more times.

This image was taken from Celebon, Skin Care (Facebook).

Once again, I used the mock template.

This contains the original image.

Spoiler

This contains the edited image. (I was trying to get rid of the text. I did a pretty poor job as you can see.)

Spoiler

In my opinion, I find it quite bright. I also feel it may be unsuitable for Night Vision.

My final two suggestions would be these images. The first is when GFriend had an endorsement with WEGO.  Even though I don't think the image can be used, you can still have a look at what it could potentially look like (if edited images were accepted, which they are not):

This is an image that has been enlarged by a fansite (2048 x 1364) - as a result, it is a bit grainy:

Spoiler

This is the original image (1500x2000) - it only lacks width (pink background):

Spoiler

This is me (poorly attempting) to make the background the same as the image:

Image generated using template:

Spoiler

There's also this image from Kpopping, but it is a bit grainy:

Spoiler

The problem I have with this is that the logo is on Sowon's head, and I find the background to be quite bright.

The other images , such as this, were either too old or too grainy.

☼

I think that's it from me. I don't think I can search for any more images! I can't wait for voting.

Edited - I used Paint cause I'm a newb.

I took the WEGO image with the larger dimensions from WEGO Press. The file size is already under 1MB.

I tried scaling with the same image. This is what I got:

Spoiler

 

 

It still does look a bit 'grainy.' Regardless, I didn't have to cut/add any new elements to it.

Edited March 8, 2020 by Chuan
Just found out that WEGO Press had the same image, lmfao.

[Lee]

3 hours ago, love said:

let me know if i missed any! 

Nothing missed!

This image probably won't be used (because there's text, and it's very distracting). The OH logo/functions are also on the heads of the members.

I'm puttin' it out there regardless.

Spoiler

I tried scaling (2100 x 1181) (If the boxes were moved down, it could be possible to hide the text.):

Spoiler

EDIT: There shouldn't be any text in the image below

Spoiler

Otherwise, it's all good. Plenty of choices! Can't wait for preliminary voting.

Edited March 10, 2020 by Chuan
Changed imgur; shifted it a little bit (noticed a bit of the text.)

[Lee]

Do we have access to a larger image for C? I don't think the original image met the image requirements.

Spoiler

The image in the spoiler is 1620 x 1080. It has the required height, but not the required width.

I think the image was enlarged for the purposes of illustrating what the banner would look like.

Edited March 11, 2020 by Chuan

[Lee]

I just remembered that the image I found for I came from a wallpaper site.

I think the image has been edited (see background), which would make it ineligible for submission.

Edited March 11, 2020 by Chuan

[Lee]

The image for J is a bit blurry. I don't think it's an official photoshoot.

[Lee]

I rotated the image for F to the right by 10°. I then scaled it to 2200px. This is an idea for what the banner could look like:

Spoiler

My problem with this image is that the background is very bright. I can't seem to see the OH logo or its functions clearly.

If the boxes were smaller, it may be possible to see the rest of the members' heads.

[Lee]

I think we should disregard the first three I mentioned. Still waiting for feedback for some of the images, so we might just be able to have more room on the poll @love

Edited March 11, 2020 by Chuan

[Lee]

Just now, love said:

what letters are those?

C, I,  and J.

[Lee]

If any of those four are removed, we might have room for the Flower image I shared. But, I'm happy with the other options too.

But, I gotta wait too for some feedback.

Edited March 11, 2020 by Chuan

[Lee]

Just now, love said:

wait, didn't i suggest c? and i thought wen suggested j 

You did! I was just making it clear that the image was just not big enough to be considered

[Lee]

Just leavin' this other WEGO image here (but it has text on the pink background). The image is taken out of the source on their website.

Spoiler

The quality may be more higher than the one used on Twitter, if does get cropped in some way.

Edited March 11, 2020 by Chuan

[Lee]

I opened the template and the Falling Light image into Gimp. This is what I got (after a bit of positioning):

Would it be worth considering having the image listed on the poll? @love

I also heard, in the BTS Dynamic Vision thread, that the sliders would be smaller with the Dynamic Vision themes.

Edited March 11, 2020 by Chuan

[Lee]

There are no problems with images taken from Kpopping, but the image for Flower, which is option W, will need to be removed from the poll.

[Lee]

Just leavin' the original tweet which contains image E:

Statement

The images for G and I were able to be compressed to meet the requirement of 1 MB across both analyses. The other images (D, H, K and M) were able to be compressed in one analysis (i.e., TinyJPG) to meet the requirement. It seems the image used for P cannot be further compressed to meet the maximum limit of 1 MB. My recommendation would be to remove it as an option. Otherwise, you could consult for assistance in the FAQ thread to see if the image for P can be further compressed.

EDIT: Every image can still be used.

As previously shared, in the image for B, the heads of everyone are not seen. It should also be removed from the poll.

for those curious: a wild card round would just involve throwing in an extra choice at the last second that wasn't even in the prelims.  it's definitely not required but i thought i'd get your feedback on it!

I believe that additional images should almost always be considered if it can provide additional value that may not already be available from what is already there (i.e., our selection of images).

Initially, I was apprehensive about having a wild card round because I was unable to locate a few images that met the overall dimensions. I was also considering editing but the material for the image was not available either. But, fortunately, I have two suggestions that could be considered if we do choose to have it. I recently found these images. None of them were mentioned during suggestions.

I also liked the 'Falling Light' image that was suggested but not considered.

@love Someone online apparently got a hold of a larger image that you suggested. Don't ask me how.

These are nice

Thank you!

[Lee]

@Sofs I was curious in knowing your thoughts on the images used currently in the final voting. It might be helpful if you can indicate whether you want to see a Wild Card Round using the suggestions posted on this page.

All of the suggested images are 2018+. The only image in the final voting that is not 2018+ is an image from 2017 (Fingertip era) [1]. It is also the one that is currently leading with four votes.
