Help modify an image for the cover of a physics book

1 pointsby javertقبل 17 سنة4 comments

A physics professor wants to distorte/mutilate this clock face image in a really cool way, for the cover of a book. He is soliciting help from CS students at my school, so I figured I'd share it on here.

He's offering to pay $50/hr for the winning submission, but that time includes working with him to make some adjustments if he wants them.

But presumably, you'd get your modified image on the cover of a physics book, which is better than the money.

P.S. The cover is due this week, which is why the prof is desperately seeking student help.

Addendum:

For the record, I did not ask the professor if I could seek submissions from Hacker News, but I would presume it doesn't matter where they come from.

Also, this is not an explicit promise than anybody on here will get paid anything; it's just relying on trust.

If people could just post links to their submissions in the comments, that would be ideal.

no other details besides "distort/mutilate"?

The only other detail is that it's supposed to look like the clock is actually distorted in real life.

well, i have something for you. just a simple collection of basic distortions. not much time spent on it, lots of errors, none usable for a book cover. more time could be spent if anything is interesting.

OK, I sent them to the guy. I'll let you know if I hear back.
