Hi. I like to know which are the conditions to be selected as face of the week. Who does it? Purpose? Can you give me the complete documentation, procedure?
thx

You would have to ask the Facer staff to get that answer. Us commoners are not privy to that knowledge.

I have no idea, I tried to browse the faces, but only could see this related to word week:
Is the top 100 charts what you mean?
Or is it this?

I would bet that is what he is talking about. I get emails from Facer with the “pick of the week” watchface all the time.

I don’t know either. Maybe Marvin does it in his spare time??

Great info, it is about get featured … That makes it clear, so free faces will also be selected… i assume.

It appears that the article is 3 years old. When I joined Facer as a Free designer, they used to feature free designs in categories. The only thing resembling that now seems to be those created as Premium. It makes sense though because Facer is a business. I’ve tried featuring my own at Facebook, but FB is another story.

I think it is an arbitrarily chosen by someone on Facer staff ie just one they personally like from the top 100 that week. Maybe there is some criteria, if so, they will be simple. The reason why? I think it’s some sort of clickbait to get awareness of the accompanying Facer advertising. Nothing more and nothing complicated.

I think it’s randomly selected. No idea of the criteria. I’d assume if it’s a paid face, it would be in the running.

Is there some lack of transparency in Facer?

No, I dont thinkso at least not in this scenario. I believe it’s just a gimmick advertising opportunity and if it isn’t then probably Facer staff are so busy that it’s the tea lady who chooses!

Considering they are based in Los Angeles California, it’s more likely they have someone who passes out joints and cocaine.

Watch face of the week is a relatively new thing, maybe just a year or so if that, I don’t think there is official documentation/procedure. There are some editorial decisions made by person or persons for all of the featured sections of the app, I expect FOTW is similar. I think the purpose is in part to generate traffic to Facer but tbh I think it’s also one of the ways they try to support their designers.

The community manager is a part time position- it was posted for quite a long time so, maybe the tea lady got the job and has new responsibilities including choosing watchface of the week
