Sometime ago i found a job listing as assisting a game designer with a game. And i had to make an image to prove my talents. The image had nothing to do with the game however. It was a test to see how well i could follow guidelines while having a certain level of personal creativity.
I no longer remember what the guidelines were. Something like a traveler in a china town at dusk in the market area with a hand held device.
I could choose whatever time i wanted or even stray for humanity and make it something else.
The object was to see how much clutter i could pack into the image.
In the end the person just stopped responding to me overall. so i don't know what their final opinion was on it.
