I think this is totally unnecessary as this group only has about five folders in total and they're self explanatory, but someone recently claimed confusion about our folder system, so here's a brief explanation:

FOLDERS:

Reminder: Please do not submit art to the Featured Folder (please see explanation at the bottom of this journal entry)

REALISTIC TRADITIONAL:
If you created a realistic- looking portrait of a celebrity using traditional media (including but not limited to pencil, pastels, charcoal, pen and ink, water color, oils), and it is static (it does not move, it is not animated) it should be sent to this folder

REALISTIC DIGITAL:
If you created a realistic- looking portrait of a celebrity, and it's a static, non-animated image, using digital media (including, but not limited to, bitmap editing software such as Photoshop, Corel, Flash vector, Illustrator, Gimp, Maya) it should be sent to this folder

Interface design can go to the digital folder

PHOTOGRAPHY:
Photographs: we no longer accept photos, but may or may not permit the Photo gallery to remain

CARTOONS AND CARICATURES:
Cartoons and Caricatures - the opposite of realistic depictions of celebrities.

OTHER MEDIA:
If it does not fall into any of the categories above (media-wise, not style-wise), it should be sent here.

If, for example, you did a needlepoint stitch work pillow of Lady Gaga, that would qualify as "Other."

If you made a clay bust of movie star Liz Taylor, this would be the folder for that.

Pencil drawings, oil and acrylic paintings, and digital paintings, and vector and vexel drawings do not belong in the "Other" folder (though there are currently some present and will have to be moved).

Mixed media - for now, if your work is a combination of traditional and digital, it belongs in the "Other" gallery

Street Art - grafitti, stencil work, etc. belong in the "Other" gallery

Print designs - book and CD covers, magazine ads etc belong in the "Other" gallery

Typography (portraits made from letters or words, whether traditional or digital media) ,
Wood work, Key Chains, Shirts, Purses, Shoes

- belong in the "Other" gallery

ANIMATION / INTERACTIVE:
Any artwork of famous people that is animated or interactive- animated GIFs, Flash swf files, animated 3-d celebrity artwork, etc

FEATURED:
For any contests we may be holding, but usually reserved for art chosen at random, regardless of media (digital or traditional or other, etc). If an image is submitted here by a member, it will be declined.
