-Tess- Posted October 11, 2006 Report Posted October 11, 2006 Emily: I love the 2 pics in this icon, and the use of greyscale. Overall, this icon looks fab, and I love it! aejdude: I like this too, but it looks a bit to coloured, bright and contrasted. I like it, but too much IMO. But I do like the text! Overall good. My vote is to Emily
Reo Posted October 11, 2006 Report Posted October 11, 2006 -Emily- - The bottom picture fits well,but not the top,the bottom of her face is just cut off and thats the first thing i noticed..I like the writing but it seems alittle low down.. aejdude - I like that it is bright and that the shadows stand out really well..I do like the writing,but feel its alittle blurred.. aejdude gets my vote.
MarMar Posted October 11, 2006 Report Posted October 11, 2006 Second challenge Emily: The greyscale is too dull. Get some light/darkness interaction! Aejdude: Nice lighting, cropping, everything! Aejdude gets my vote.
-Karen- Posted October 11, 2006 Report Posted October 11, 2006 OK here goes: Battle #1 This is a really tough one as they are both really good! Princess jessik – The icon is nicely cropped and angled and I like the colouring of the hair and eyes. However, the skin tones are a little too pink IMO and I feel it is missing ‘something’ – possible a brush or a border? Jessa Belle - I love the colouring and I think the border is really nice and fits well with the icon. The only slight problems are that it would be better if the image was sharper and I feel the text dominates the icon too much when I think it should be the image that is the primary focus. Overall my vote goes to …..Jessa Belle Battle #2 Emily – Because of the ‘similarities’ with sevenpuddings icon it is very difficult for me to comment on this one, but I think enough has been said on that subject already. I think the images you have used are too alike, as she has a similar expression in both of them. I think the images used in these kind of icons need to be contrasting, whether they be the same person or different people. Also, I think it is a bit ‘flat’ due to the lack of contrast in both images. However, I like your wording ‘wicked witch’, I think that accurately describes Amanda as I personally can’t stand the character!! aejdude – I really like the colouring and cropping of the image and I think that placing the text off the blue bar was a good idea. However, I do think that the contrast is slightly too much as it causes the icon to lose a little bit of detail. Overall my vote goes to…. aejdude

Mercury_Girl vs. Sevenpuddings Topic: Nature Graphic: Icon ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mercury_Girl's entry: Sevenpudding's entry: Voting will close on 15th October.
aejdude Posted October 12, 2006 Report Posted October 12, 2006 Ok, this is tough because you are both really good. 1st Icon - The colouring is fantastic, the lighting is fantastic, and the text goes well with the avatar it's the right colour so it fits in *perfectly*. 2nd Icon - The colouring is really good, the lighting is good so it only really comes down to the text, i like the word free as it does fit in however saying that i think that the avatar could look even better with a different font as i don't think this font flows as well as it could do. That's the only thing i can pick up on. In Mar's icon, the font is perfect as it kind of fits on to the icon just to give it's finishing touch . In Jess's icon, i think i'd prefer it either with no text or a calligraphy font like JaneAusten or something like that as i think that would go better with the avatar but this is only my opinion others may think differently. So vote goes to Mercury_Girl
Reo Posted October 12, 2006 Report Posted October 12, 2006 Mercury_Girl - I like the solid red standing out and the background being faded apart from at the side..I also like the light on the right of the avatar and the font. Sevenpudding - I like the cloud and the font and it blending in,but i feel like the blue sky and the butterfly are too bold for the rest of it. Mercury_Girl gets my vote.
-Karen- Posted October 12, 2006 Report Posted October 12, 2006 Merc - Great icon, everything works really well - the colours, text and composition. Sevenpuddings - I like the idea and the way the background goes from grey to while to blue but I feel that the the 3 seperate elements - the background, butterfly and text - are a little 'unconnected' and not working as well together as they could. So my vote goes to Mercury Girl
