ROUND SEVEN IC: GRAPHICALLY INCLINED
Come on in, guys!
I'm sure you might have been expecting this...
DROP YOUR BUFFS!
It's merge time!
Since Alicia self-voted herself out and OMG THEY KILLED KENNY, you've officially merged!
What you have to decide on now is:
-A name - Ndebele, Kiwano, or something new
-If you pick something new, you must pick a color
(Keep it PG-13 people!)
I will be throwing you all in a merge tribe camp, and you're free to debate
Today's challenge is simple. All you have to do is design a graphic of some sort. The options you have are as follows:
Visual appeal does matter, especially in the department that we can tell what it is, but we're judging mostly in other categories:
Idea and execution - 20 points. Would your idea pique the curiosity of artisans? Did you stray towards the focus of your concept or off a beaten path?
Visual Appeal - 10 points. Is the end result an elegant masterpiece or the scribbles of a kindergartner attending his first art class?
Neatness - 5 points. Is the graphic presented in an organized manner that is aesthetically pleasing and holds recognition value, or is it a low-quality mishmash of blurry?
Relation to the theme - 5 points. Is your end result an accurate representation of the objective at hand? Does it portray the series in the correct light or a terrible darkness worthy of arm-severing?
Argument - 10 points. Are you arguing why you should win, or are you arguing why you shouldn't?
We want you to make a graphic and SELL it to us. Write about a hundred words explaining your idea to us. That's not really too much - use the Word Count feature I've installed to check. This post, for example, has 602 words in it.
Keep this APPROPRIATE. Any violations of the rules can result in really bad things for you. Another issue to note: Do NOT make a huge-sized image. That's impossible to judge! We want something smart and accessible.
You will have 48 hours to do whichever of the projects you want to. You will be judged by myself, Parvati (if she can), DD, and at least two Prediction Writers.
For reference, check here for the results of this challenge in Turkey. Note a few things: 1) how much Kelly B's argument helped her, 2) how much Michelle T's argument destroyed her, 3) how I like to be portrayed as me, and 4) just how much originality and accuracy are praised.
The person who scores the highest from five judges' combined total wins immunity, goes to Deception, and is safe from the vote. They will also award a trip to Deception to a DIFFERENT person. Second place will also go to Deception, meaning THREE people are going this round. And all ten are, of course, going to Tribal!
If you have questions, let me know. Survivors ready? GO!

Which means we have this immunity back up for grabs:
Today's challenge is simple. All you have to do is design a graphic of some sort. The options you have are as follows:
- A graphic in some way relating to the Kalahari Desert, Deception Valley, or Botswana as a whole
- A graphic or logo for advertising this series
- A graphic about Amanda, Parvati, or DDanielle
- A 30-second television ad for any of the above
