<\/a>So, you're in charge of the \"HipstaChallenge\", but also of \"Make Beautiful\". \u00a0What's the difference between the two?<\/h4>\nHipstaChallenge<\/strong> began as a personal project in June of 2011 to encourage myself to shoot more with Hipstamatic<\/strong> on a daily basis, but the assignment-driven photo project rapidly evolved into more of a community with others sharing their interpretations of my curated themes. Very quickly I transitioned to being more of a curator, providing creative direction, inspiration, and feedback for people sharing their photographs. Make Beautifu<\/strong>l is a springboard. It exists as a means of encouraging others to produce beautiful work. Sometimes we need a little push, some extra inspiration\u2026 Make Beautiful<\/strong> aims to provide that, one day at a time through the creative prompts.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
\nIn April of 2012 Hipstamatic<\/strong> published a monthly list of themes under the name Hipst-a-Day<\/strong> to offer daily creative inspiration to users of the app. In June Hipst-a-Day<\/strong> became the Make Beautiful<\/strong> global art project, encouraging people to see the beauty surrounding them at all times and to share it photographically with the world. The monthly lists of daily themes remained a large part of the project. I was fortunate enough to be a contributing writer from near the start, and by August of that year I became the lead writer, continuing in that role to this day.<\/p>\n\"Make Beautiful\" is not a competition; how would you define it then?<\/h4>\n
